- MiNT is Not TOS: A Multitasking Operating System Extension for the Atari ST

- ========================================================================
-
- Terminals connected to the MODEMx or MIDI ports don't act like the console
- terminal; special characters (e.g. ^C or ^Z) are not always interpreted.
- Moreover, Fselect on serial devices doesn't work.
-
- The Mega STe's extra serial ports are not recognized like the TT's are.
-
- There is code in context.s that will break on a 68010. I doubt that this
- will affect very many people.
-
- File locking is not implemented for most file systems (only for FIFOs).
-
- Files with null names won't show up in Fsfirst/Fsnext.
-
- The date and time are not necessarily correct for volume labels created under
- MiNT.
-
- The handle returned from Fcreate of a volume label is invalid. This shouldn't
- be a problem, since programs oughtn't to write to volume labels anyways!
-
- Only the TOS file system checks in Fdelete for the read-only bit of a file.
-
- If more than 999 pipes are created at once, the system will hang.
-
- A symbolic link to file '\FOO' will always point to the file "FOO" in the
- directory of the current drive of the reading process, *not* the root of the
- drive the link is located on. If an explicit drive letter is given (e.g.
- A:\FOO) the link will work correctly.
-
- MiNT won't work with Spanish language ROMs and TOS 1.0.
-
- Only the first process to Fselect() on a device will be woken up when data
- arrives for the device.
-
- The priority code is slightly off; the lowest priority process has an effective
- priority one higher than its real priority.
