If Atari wants to get 1.4 out [Much deleted] Windows appear in the right places? $100? I will nevernevernevernever complain about a bug in AmigaDOS again!

Actually, the problem in the old TOS was that where Atari thought the desktop windows should go wasn't where everyone else thought they should go. They appear right where they are supposed to. Besides, although Atari says anyone can get 1.4, no one has got it. >-Tom >-- >Drew University -- Tom Limoncelli >C M Box 1060 -- limonce@pilot.njin.net >P O Box 802 -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet >Madison, NJ 07940 -- 201-408-5389 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kitakaze Tatsu Raito Neil Gilmore internet:gilmore@macc.wisc.edu | | Jararvellir, MACC, UW-Madison bitnet: gilmore@wiscmac3 | | Middle Kingdom Madison, Wi | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
