- All development *done*? Man, are you kidding?
- A product like this is never finished.
- I saw the latest release (I hope it was) at Atari fair, and the
- mouse driver was as damned as before, you could hang up the system
- for some ten seconds by simply moving the mouse from one window
- to another while the computer was busily counting numbers in a
- shell script...
- Furthermore, it still comes along with GCC 1.39 - these days most
- people use 2.2.2. OK, you can compile it yourself, but I think
- it reflects what the guys from Atari think about updating.

- Regards, Markus.
