Greeting-
I have heard there is a very good port of OS9 for the ST in europe.
Who did this port and where can I contact them? Has anyone tried this or
any other port of OS9 on the portable ST? Any info on the European port
would be helpful as I have some instilations to support in the UK and
France.
Please reply to me directly, or to comp.os.os9 as I do not read
comp.sys.atari.st

The port is from Wolfgang Ocker, Lochhausersstr. 32, 8039 Puchheim, West-Germany. The firm is called recco-ware. The Version is sold only bundled with the C-Compiler, Basic09, Stylograph and the Sculptor database package. It comes with tools to access TOS files and some PD-stuff. The database is very nice and fast, and has anything,but an SQL interface. So it's quite up to date. (it runs under UNIX, VAX, MSDOS, ... too, so really professional stuff). This explains the price of 1598.- DM. It will not run on the STacy, because the Screen-Hardware is different. The Drivers for the Harddisk will have to be changed also, because of the power consumption. You might phone Mr. Ocker to ask him, if he is doing the port or has already done it. He sells also other nice OS9-Software and distributs the TOPS-Packet, if you send (8-10) disks and a properly stamped and adressed envelope.
