I have also heard similar rumors... including one that commodore has
filed for chapter 11... IS THIS TRUE???  Being a new Amiga owner,
I am somewhat interested in having this rumor discussed and cleared.
Perhaps Commodore Amiga would have some interesting and informative
comments to make?

Does anyone over at Amiga know when the DOS user's guide (and the
other "mentioned" documentation) will be available?  The hints
posted to the net as well as simple experimentation have revealed a
lot, but it would be nice to know what I'm doing/missing.

Will the clock on version 1.1 keep time???  Will the "real" version
of Textcraft allow you to change directories/disks with the "open"
command (rather than selecting the drawer the files are in along
with Textcraft)?  Will the V 1.1 Notepad allow you to print out the
fonts without doing a screen dump???

If you have answers to any of these questions, please post them, as
I'm sure many of us would be curious to know the answer.

Thanks in advance...
