two small issues in the release:

- The files in /xaaes/xobj/ are not valid rsc-files (tested with RSM and Interface), JFL posted that before.
- Sorry, but is there any reason that the old xaaes.rsc (with beta desktop) is still in the release?
- @Helmut: What about the xa_help_de.txt (xa_he_de.txt) i sent you? Perhaps there should be a folder "german"
  for _de.rsc and _de.txt files in /xaaes/.

Anyway, it's great to see an official release,
THANK YOU ALL for your work ( and for your patience with users like me ;-) ),

Happy new Atari year!
