- Multi-AES is the new AES by Atari, that supports multitasking and
- memory protection under MiNT. We can't get it because it hasn't been
- released yet (except perhaps to some beta testers.) You ought to
- comment out -DMULTITOS because the standard AES doesn't get along with
- MiNT's memory protection, and MiNT's memory protection won't work at
- all on a 68000. Commenting out -DMULTITOS produces a 68000-compatible
- non-memory-protected version of MiNT that doesn't require the new AES.
