We should compile a compatibility list for TOS 1.4 - this is an issue which will undoubtedly come up repeatedly in the coming months (years). Many people are going to want to know which of their current software selection must be written off if they go for new ROMs. The list should consist of those programs which do not run properly under the new TOS, together with the pertinent hardware info. I for one do not know what info _is_ pertinent, if any - perhaps the model name, e.g. Mega 2, 520ST. We also need comments regarding the availability of fixed versions from those developers who choose to fix their broken programs. So those of you who have the ROMs, please post your entries to the net. "Down John Morton M.E.

I'm all for a list of software (PD and commercial) that's broken under TOS 1.4! It will be useful for those of us who want to upgrade (who doesn't :-), but might lose some functionality once the new ROMs are installed. Furthermore, it would be an incentive to companies to upgrade their code. Of course, I assume that the better-known compaines will all upgrade, but when? But for PD software the situation seems a lot more fragile. Ralph P.
