I'm still carping. If the TOS 1.4 documentation is indicative of what Atari
documentation is going to be like in the future, it's a gigantic step in a
good direction. But I still think that making a listing of ROM contents, as
of some major freeze date, with comments, available to registered developers
would be a GOOD THING. Extra charges, extra confidentiality agreements and
big red warnings "This is provided only as a supplement to <other documents>;
Atari guarantees to break any program dependent on OS features not promised
elsewhere" would be acceptable. Although I also don't see any need to make
such a thing confidential. I do see the need for warnings.
