I guess it would be nice if Atari or DRI or someone would fix bugs like that.
It really is annoying to have a directory structure and be essentially unable
to use it properly. Us Unix people are used to something that is well thought
out and highly useable. (not perfect) Is Atari planning to do something about
problems with its environment? This would include what hearsay sez is a number
of memory allocation bugs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that these are
not huge bugs, they seem to be weekend fixes. Are we going to get any updates
as developers ever? Could we get a forecast of what we can expect?
