I have been sitting here listening with nothing to say for days then something
pops up that I actually know something about! Magic!

Atari (Allen|Roy|Ken) said yonks ago that they had found and killed the bug
that lost 2 clusters on a disk. But what if you put a the disk in a mchine with
old ROMs? It can't read the last two clusters! So, sadly, the bug stays.

I would rather every bug was fixed and a ('a' means one :-) patch program to
make them as bad as the old ROMs was issued. As time went by soon we'd all have
new ROMs and the old software would be surpassed. Then we would just trash
the patch.
