Re: Frontend maintainership

Hi,

As a frequent user of the Atari NS build I passed on your comments
to the Freemint (OS) mailing list.

I don't pretend to know much about the toolchain but they have asked
for some more details about what the issues are ?


My hope is that they may be able to investigate and improve things.

The Freemint OS recently moved onto Github.


Regards,

Peter
