During  the last few weeks a great amount of band width has been taken
up on the subject of TOS bugs and the  coresponding  fixes.  Being  an
owner  of an STE (I previously owned a STfm) I would realy apriciate a
list of known bugs and the required  fix  program.  So  which  of  the
following effect TOS 1.6.

   RTS/CTS problem on the RS232.
   Pool size bug (as per FolderXXX fix)
   Pool bug (as per POOLFIX3)
   Medium res bug.

Also  I  have  noticed  that  when double clicking on a .prg file I am
sometimes told that this file can only be SHOWN or PRINTED. Yet  if  I
try it again (Or perhaps a few times) it will run fine.

   Any others I have missed out.

So,  which fixes are required and where can I obtain them? Would it be
possible to bundle all of  these  into  an  archive  and  post  it  to
com.sys.binaries.atari.st.  (as  was  done  with  the  TOS  1.4  fixes
recently) and if so perhaps bundle the following also.

   New STE control panel.  (Atari uk have yet to supply me with one
                            I sent my disk of some 5 weeks ago.)
   CACHnnn.prg             (Hard disk cache.)

Many thanks.

Dave H.
