Brooks. It's PD, comes complete with source code in Modula-2. You can use it with Gulam or just about any other command shell. It also comes with a desk accessory that it uses to allow multitasking GEM programs. It works pretty well, but I didn't like it because it didn't duplicate the current environment in spawned processes, and I didn't have a Modula-2 system to fix it with. (Nor do I know any Modula-2, so trying to fix it would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack. I certainly didn't enjoy trying to read the sources...) -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
