Re: [Atari800-users] Atari800-users Digest, Vol 138, Issue 8

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

If you indeed run the Atari800 on a 32-bit Windows machine then feel
free to help compiling a better working build. With the tools I had at

The Linux 32-bit AppImage should be OK but I had no machine to test it
on.
