- The original Falcon AES is 3.3. This implements 3D objects incorrectly
- (using the extended object type, which was supposed to be reserved for
- applications). We have fixed that, and the new AES which correctly
- implements 3D objects (using bits 9 and 10 of ob_flags) will be put
- into production shortly. The AES version number of this AES will be
- 3.4; the TOS version number is 4.02.
-
- (MultiTOS will also use bits 9 and 10 of ob_flags for 3D effects.)
