RETIRE OPERATING SYSTEM - The enhanced lowlevel library!

The ros.library is an enhanced lowlevel.library. It's compatible with currently
all available machines and CPU's (upto '060) and OS1.3 compatible too!
The ROS provides additional functions to take over the entire system so it
should be useful for demo & game coders.
Another advantage is the ability to call important system functions (memory
allocation, read, write) from a killed system.
ROS offers a way to run your hardware bashing application within multitasking.
And finally a ROS prefs file is provided to support custom settings.


                                  ROS HISTORY

*******************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.0, 29.12.95 (Library version 1.0)

    The first release.

*******************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.1, 05.01.96 (Library version 1.1)

    Fixed two minor bugs:
      - ROSCPUClock() shouldn't display a requester if no free CIA available,
        but it does
      - user vblank code was called from vblank server with priority 9, this
        may confuse the timer.device (priority 0) and thus all CIA interrupts
        (e.g. level6 p61) if it steals to much rastertime;
        now user vblank code is executed from a priority 0 vblank server

*******************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.2, 08.01.96 (Library version 1.2)

    Library name changed from 'ROS.library' to 'ros.library' because a library
    name should always be a lower-case string (thanks to Thomas Kessler)

*******************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.21, 05.02.96 (Library version 1.2)

    P61 initialization bug fixed (wrong offset if 020 optimization),
    thanks to PABLO/RETIRE
