hich version of OS-9/68K for the Atari ST do you distribute? Do you
distribute Cumana OS-9 or the horrible Dr. Keil Version?

The Dr. Keil Version is not an OS-9 implementation, it's just a whole
lot of buggy bull-shit!

If you want to use OS-9 on an Atari ST, there is only one choice (and 
only one OS-9): Cumana OS-9.

Dr. Keil OS-derivate uses GEM/TOS calls, horrible enough, and THAT shall
be an OS-9 system? Be careful with your choice!

Marc is absolutely right. I've been using Dr. Keil's implementation for a while
and I didn't like it at all !
Now I'm using Cumana OS-9 and I am very happy with it. There are lots of great
freatures, like virtual terminals, MGR....AND the drivers are working (not like
Dr. Keil's drivers!)
