I received so much mail requesting information (I'm not complaining)
and I got so many bounced e-mail messages when I tried to reply, that I'm
simply posting this fairly brief announcement, with a little bit more
information about MT and VSH and the upgrade proceedures. I guess I'll
just get ready to take a few lumps for doing this...
Thank you.

ANNOUCEMENT!!! ANNOUCEMENT!!! ANNOUCEMENT!!! ANNOUCEMENT!!!
Announcing MT C-Shell Version 2.0 And VSH Version 2.0
MULTITASKING JUST GOT BETTER
Version 2.0, the third generation of this mature and stable system, is
a major upgrade from previous versions. With Version 2.0, MT C-Shell
has been drasticly revised and improved.
FASTER THEN EVER!
All 70 plus MT C-Shell commands have been upgraded and offer
significantly improved performance.
FULLY TT030 COMPATIBLE!
A new version of the Beckemeyer Real-time Multitasking Operating
System Kernel has been specifically designed for the new Atari TT
computer. This new operating system takes advantage of the 68030
processor and implements new TOS system calls introduced with the TT.
Of course MT C-Shell and VSH are alse fully compatible with the Atari
ST computers as well. There is also a brand-new RTX for the 16-bit
ST series computers too.
VIRTUAL CONSOLES
Now included with MT C-Shell is a system which allows you to switch
between multiple full-screen sessions using a "hot key". This
feature allows you to have multiple MT C-Shell sessions active
concurrently, as if you had several terminals sitting on your desk!
Some of the other new features of MT C-Shell Version 2.0 are:
o Now fully supports User ID and Group ID numbers
o Processes are assigned unique PIDs in subsequent incarnations
o Config program helps set options (e.g. Memory quotas)
o Pseudo-TTY driver with GEM Windowing interface included
o Many internal improvements and speedups
VISUAL SHELL MANAGER
VSH is like a graphics workstation on a disk!
Just look at these new features in Version 2.0:
o Cut & Paste between windows
o Save window or paste-buffer contents to a file
o Set options individually for each window
o Choose fonts for each window
o Install custom program Icons onto the VSH Desktop
o Works in all resolutions, including TT and Moniterm
o Save settings and postions for all windows & icons
Also included are the following VSH Desk Accessories:
o Analog Clock
o CPU Load Monitor
o DEGAS Picture Viewer in GEM window
With the new VSH Version 2.0, you can now install icons for your
favorite programs -- no more searching all over the place. The VSH
icons use the DC-ICE format, and can easily be customized. You can
install unique icons for all your programs.
