- Well, there is an Americanized version, I believe Mike recently uploaded
- it, as four archives to the atari.archive.umich.edu. you can tell
- which one you have because the modified version says "Turbo" instead
- of "READY" for a prompt. It fixes some things, like the TIME functions
- which used to be based on 50HZ and now are 60hz, and other things
- detailed in the documentation. Probably a good idea to look for that
- version.
