I was wondering if the exists an archive site for OS-9 software? I recently began development work on an OS-9/6800 v2.3 system and I am VERY interested in finding a replacement shell (csh?) and vi for OS-9. I understand there is a PD package called TOPS(?) from Germany, but I don't know any more about it... Thanks, Robert Binkley binkley@skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov ...!ames!skipper!binkley

There is an user group in USA, in Europe (EFFO) and TOPS, which have a lot of interesting sources. > I am VERY interested in finding a replacement shell (csh?) and vi for OS-9. The shell is under development, but it is not the csh. Ask Wolfgang Ocker, Lochhauserstr. ?, 8039 Puchheim, BRD for further details. I don't know, if vi is available, but micro-emacs 3.9e+ is (I use it day by day). > I understand there is a PD package called TOPS(?) from Germany, > but I don't know any more about it... TOPS implemented a lot of utilities, a mail system and a Window system. The last runs on the Atari ST (monochrom Monitor!, quite good with OS9, far better than these OS/2 (= half OS) toy computers for the infantil manager. The only thing you miss is the prestige having a PC (= Primitiv Computer)). It is the MGR-System from Bellcore developed for the SUN Workstation. They have also a good UNIX-compatibility lib and RCS (Revision Control System from Prof. Tichy). Other parts are the PTY-Drivers and the PTY-Manager posted sometime ago in this Newsgroup. I hope this Informations help you. Goog luck Knut Grunwald.

I have the tops projects and will be setting up the BBS that comes with it soon , since the copyright notice states that you must make it available I will. I'll also set up the uucp, but first I must figure it out. When everything is finished I post a message to that effect. I also have other software and source I will make available! NJC

Is there any other way to obtain this from the user groups? If there is not any archive site, is there an interest in one? I am interested in obtaining the TOPS package, but I don't wanna pay Microware $100 for a public domain package. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
