I can't believe it! I just can't believe it!... O.K. I believe it.
Recently, I reposted some patches for the PCDOS version of Turbo Pascal
at the request of a few dedicated souls interested in the TI Pro. I
had hoped that this would help stimulate further discussion in this
newsgroup and perhaps raise interest in futher enhancing the patch set.
When I posted them the first time I hoped the same thing, but shortly
after I did, I lost access to the net for an extended period due to
the death of our local machine. Any replies, follow-ups, flames, etc.
(if any) were lost to me. Wouldn't you know it, shortly after my
repost, we temporarily lost usenet access during the transition from
osu-eddie to osu-cis. Although they apparently tried to save the news
on cbosgd until osu-cis was up, some of it was lost. Since I have not
seen any new articles in this newsgroup since I reposted the patches,
either 1) any follow-ups and other postings were in the lost news, 2)
some other network event/anomoly has swallowed them up, or 3) nobody
really gives a damn about the TI Pro.
So come on folks, let's see some action here. Otherwise let's just
rename this group comp.sys.orphans or maybe comp.sys.closet.
regards, Larry

Now, please remember that I'm not a TI owner (I like my ST), but I did do some work on it a year or more ago. I ported the QNX operating system (see ads in recent BYTEs) to the TI Pro for Quantum Software. Briefly, QNX is a Unix-like os, multi-user, multi-tasking, etc. I don't know its current status, whether Quantum is supporting it or not. If you're interested, I suggest calling Quantum at (613)591-0931. -- ll // // ,'/~~\' Gerry Wheeler {decvax,ihnp4,seismo}!watmath!mks!wheels /ll/// //l' `\\\ Mortice Kern Systems Inc.
