Subject: Professional OS9 for the ST needs your support!
In responce to Kim Kempf's quick and helpful reply to my query about OS9 for
the Atari ST, I called Microware to see about ordering a copy. Here's what I
found out:
Personal OS9 w/Basic09 $150 available June 25th
When I asked about the 'C' compiler, the sales person mentioned that Microware
had that as an option for $500 (yikes!). However, they also sold a package
called Professional OS9 which came with 'C', make and lots of handy utilities
for $600. I asked when I could order that for the ST, I was told that
Microware was not sure they were going to offer it, but that they would put me
on a mailing list to be told if and when it would be available.
I'd really like to get OS9 with 'C'! Wouldn't you? If so call Microware and
tell them you'd like to see Professional OS9 for the ST made available. The
number I used was from the Winter issue of Pipelines and is: (515) 224-1929.
Help bring a real OS to the ST!
(If Microware is reading this: Your sales staff is really nice and well
informed! Worth the phone call!)

Keywords: OS9 COCO3 PATCH
Organization: Eaton IMS, Westlake Village, CA
There was recently a request for a patch to correct a failure to clear
the last line on an 80 x 24 screen/window. I did respond earlier that
the CIS hackers were working on it. Kent Meyers (chinet!draco) mailed
this fix to me at my home (OS9) system:
