So what is it exactly that we really need? I've heard mention of De Re Atari and OS listings and all sorts of good stuff, shadows from the past. Which brings to mind... APX. Anyone remember the Atari Program Exchange? From it's demise it could hardly be construed that it was a bad idea--I see its failure as the beginning of the end for the 8-bits. But it was a great thing in its time, and it produced a lot of quality software for a machine that didn't attract much development (sound familiar?). So what we need is the Atari Program Exchange reincarnated, probably more mature (and thrifty) than it had been in the past. Any comments on this? Eric Ruck
