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.


*******************************************************************************
Changes from release 2.0 to 2.1 (21.01.97)

    Minor bug fixes:
      - Credits requester wasn't font-sensitive on OS1.3
      - Accessing "progdir:"-relative files using ROS r/w functions did not
        work on OS1.3, wrong string comparison (thanks to Christian Oldiges)
      - Some errors fixed in this autodoc

    Changes:
      - ROSCPUClock() now uses timer.device if there are no free cia timers
