        I have seen that OS9 is avaiabel for the Atari ST, as I know very
little about this operating system I was wondering if you could answer a few
questions about it.

        (1) Is it a multitasking o.s. ?
        (2) Does it allow multiple sign ons, The idea here is to have the ST
linked up with friends computers in a flat and have a small network.
        (3) I have some knowledge of unix commands, are the os9 commands like
them ( I know the ls is dir on os9 any other big changes).

        (4) How much memeory does it require?

Yours

Dave Johnson
