Bug List for Atari 8-bit Taipan
-------------------------------

- The "negative interest" bug is currently missing, due to using
  unsigned values for debt. Plus, it's cheating. I'm undecided
  whether or not to use a bignum for debt; if I do, it will be
  possible to have negative debt.

- Not really a bug, but, the interest calculation for debt is slightly
  different, due to using integer math. Very small debt amounts will grow
  much faster than they should, then stabilize and converge towards the
  correct values over time. This only happens when you have less than
  10 in debt, which (at least for me) is a pretty rare situation.

- A few things in the screen layout are slightly off compared to
  the Apple version. Would really like to get it exact.

- The 'Please limit your firm name to 22 characters' prompt is missing.
  The Apple version actually allows you to type all you want until you
  press Enter. This port works like the Linux version: as soon as you type
  the 22nd character, it acts like you pressed Enter after it. A good
  compromise might be to allow up to 22 characters, then any keypress
  other than backspace or enter would show the "please limit" prompt.
