Is anyone out there using the OASIS operating system (from Phase One Systems) on their Z80 computer? I think it's pretty much the best, cleanest multi- user system ever developed for the home user. If there are any other users left out there, please EMAIL me. A couple of us here have decided to dump all the overly-complex operating systems we've been playing with at home (AmigaDOS, Micronics (and other UNIX look-alikes), MPM, etc.) and do our hobby computing on OASIS. We would LOVE to get into a software exchange with other OASIS users. If you want to respond, please use EMAIL, as this is being posted on some sections I don't normally read. Keith Burton. jkb@ukma

I can't see the fun of using OASIS for hobby computing, but it's still a
pretty slick multi-user os for business apps, despite all the limitations.
I still maintain that they wrote the BASIC first (it was the first structured
BASIC), and then wrote an OS around it. The documentation was great before
O-Tech ruined it, but didn't cover some of the finer points, like modifying
the nucleus, and there's a certain amount of fun in that.
Sure, if anybody else out there is into it, my address is below...
