[Description of OSPool handling deleted] Thanks! That will clear matters up for a lot of people. Will all that be documented anywhere, for the benefit of developers who don't have access to the net? Someone at Atari should collect all the worthwhile articles like that and add them to the developers' docs, as there has been quite a wealth of information here. --- These are my opinions, and in no way reflect those of UCSC, which are wrong.
