They wrote the file system and most of the CLI commands (DIR, LIST, COPY...) They did not write Intuition, Graphics, Layers, Audio, Serial, Workbench,.... Just the file system. We call this AmigaDOS. The 3 AmigaDOS manuals decsribe what they did. They did NOT do anything in the RKM. OK. Thanks, just wanted to clear that up and give credit where credit is due. While I'm at it there are (Commodore) programers in Westchester, PA who have made significant contributions too. --Bruce Barrett
