The company that did the os9 port to the ST went out of business. Microware (the company that wrote os9) is supporting ST users directly now. I would be surprised if an inproved version for the ST didn't come out in the near future. >Of course, if I remember correctly, it is also available for the Mac >and the Amiga. Nope, you don't remember correctly. There was a rumor of an Amiga version by the company that did the ST version. (One would not surprise me.) The way the Mac has been marketed did not encorage OS vendors to port to it. Os9/68k is available on other, less well known, systems. I do tend to get strange looks when I tell people I have a Frank Hogg Labs QT+. Further os9 discussion should probably be routed to mod.os.os9 (cbosgd!os9) -- Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Usc-Eclb.Arpa Uucp: (several backbone sites)!sdcrdcf!usc-oberon!castor.usc.edu!blarson seismo!cit-vax!usc-oberon!castor.usc.edu!blarson
