OK. I don’t use Windows®, but cbmuser wants to package fs-uae

That’s good. Then, we can _probably_ debug the TT issue with Hatari.

OK. Thanks for the formal (somewhat) analysis.

ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
