- eh? Im using the OS interrupt calls to avoid poking the interrupt vectors
- directly, thats all. Yes, I am taking over the machine, but Im doing it in
- as "nice" a way as possible so that itll work on most Amigas and so that you
- can get back to Workbench when you quit the game. Is that so strange?
-
- Do you believe that everything must be either 100% or 0% OS with no middle
- ground? I dont!
