I have seen mention of TOS 1.0 and TOS 1.2, in  Britain I have not seen any
mention of these numbers, so far we have had TOS 0.19 (the first ROM TOS, this
lasted until winter 87) and TOS 1.09 (which replaced it) as far as I know the
mega TOS is just 1.09 with Blitter support. Thus the netter who used Sversion
and got a reply of 0.19 just had the old TOS (with the British numbers or
the program somehow interpreted the ROM to be the British version). Any
comments please as I am no authority!

A question, where are all the GDOS fonts, GDOS has been around a while now
and apart from a British program called Calligrapher (hands up who is old
enough to remember that one) it has been stable and useful, it is used by
Timeworks, easydraw, Word-up and to a lesser extent by Cyber Studio, Uniterm
and Degas Elite. So where are all the fonts, all too long we have been stuck
using Swiss, Dutch and a 12pt typewriter font and a promise of more to come,
but where are they. Please, please Atari (or anyone) please throw a few more
GDOS fonts into the PD (or even sell them!) as I for one would be grateful

Has anyone managed to get the hyperscreen working yet, I would be pleased
to hear from anyone who has, a friend of mine is to try next week and I will
report back if it works.
