It's interesting to note that at about the same time that an Atari employee
was complaining about STE documentation being posted, an employee of
a competing company was posting complete specs on how to design for one of
their expansion ports.

There's plenty of information which should rightly be covered by non-
disclosure agreements: future products, strategies, etc. But any effort
to restrict the spread of the information necessary to use, program, or
expand a current product is misguided.

(Of course, as bad as the Atari distribution network in the US is, perhaps
the STE isn't a current product yet.  But I hardly think that would be an
acceptable excuse.)

With non-support such as this, I'm frankly surprised that there's any
public domain or shareware software available for the ST.  And unless the
policy changes, I'd expect free software for the STE and TT to be even
more rare.
