Atari *has* commented on these locations. They are documented in S.A.L.A.D., the new Line-A document (by Jim Eisenstein and Mark Jansen). If you are a developer and would like a copy, call or write Cindy Claveran, of Developer Support. I believe the document is also in the developer-only areas of some online services, like CompuServe and GEnie.
