I'm not against Atari writing software for other platforms, and I don't
think it signals the "flop" of the ST.  However, Ian makes a good point.
Atari is a small company and has limited resources.  I too would prefer
that they devote their energies to the support of their current line
and the development of future products.  I believe that would be of
greater long-term benifit to Atari than insuring that the Amiga has an
an authentic port of Gauntlet...

BTW, who is "RJ Michal"?

This is my first post, so a fancy signature will have to wait.  Happy
New Year, everybody!
