- Prehaps you should test it. I have, and I can tell you that it does work.

- Ruud, that's a very silly thing to say. It would only be a reasonable
- proposition if you were assuming that (a) OS1.2 didn't work, and (b) OS1.2
- was the most compatible piece of software you could possibly write for
- the Amiga.
-
- Assumption (a) is false, and assumption (b), well, try this for
- compatibility:
-
- start:
- rts
-
- There we are. That's my code, and I can tell you that it will work for
- every model of Amiga since the beginning of time that has a 680x0
- processor, and also every model of Atari ST, and every model of Apple
- Macintosh. It's more compatible than Amiga OS1.2 in that respect.
-
- Now, stop baiting, and try thinking.
-
- Nik.
