["Jeff Collins" <jcollins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have documents been released on the Atombios command tables, and in which
order to call them? If not are they going to be released?  Are there
documents for the Atombios to be released?

Are there any branches or releases available for PowerPC, or any sort of
code where someone has already given this a try?  I must have missed
discussion of this on this list. 

Thanks,

Jeff Collins
