- You don't want to know. It is *really* brain damaged. If someone
- clicks the smaller (first 0x0100, then Atari decided to move it to
- (I think) 0x0400), you get a message WM_ICONIFIED. If you add
- control key, you get WM_ALLICONIFY. A slot will be reserved, even if
- you don't iconify at all. No Atari application (DOCK, MINIWIN, DESKTOP)
- supports ICONIFY_ALL as it's plain hard to do so (proud to mention Edith
- does). So NEVER press control SMALLER because one of your icon slots will
- be unfilled until you reboot. Also, if you have a shortcut for iconify,
- there is no way to ask for an icon slot, as the slots are only allocated
- when the smaller is clicked!
-
- <sigh>
-
- BTW I thought about this, and given the current protocol, there is no
- solution to these problems...
-
- Confirms my conjecture: MTOS brings Atari back to level TOS 1.0.
- Buggy and useless.
