|Do you folks _ever_ intend to publish this information in a readily available
|and affordable format?
Yes.
|From what I saw of the developer's docs (I saw a
|copy a couple of years ago) they're not professional quality documentation.
The ST documentation is much better now than it was several years ago.
|Given the tiny percentage of the market that the ST has, and the tiny number
|of (mostly tiny) companies that write software for it, can you really afford
|to "certainly break software"?
Context! We definitely can afford to, and most certainly will, break...

|>b) was built on bad assumptions about the internal workings of TOS.
