I fail to understand why you keep thinking I'd be argueing against MiNT.
I'm not. After all I'm here to suggest an improvement, am I not ?
All that I'm argueing is that nobody should dismiss the standards set by
Atari easily, as one won't do the Atari world a favour.
XBRA is such a standard, and I'm advocating it's use by MiNT. It causes
no drawbacks, but will improve compatibility with existing software that
you cannot seriously consider broken for having used a standard that has
been set by Atari !
