Keywords: multiview, other good os-9 software Message-ID: Date: 1 Apr 91 15:47:55 GMT Organization: NJ InterCampus Network, New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 28 Hello, Lately, I have been really getting into programming my RADIO SHACK TRS-80 COCO3 under OS-9 Level 2. I was just wondering that since Radio Shack does not carry software for this machine anymore, will I still be able to get software for it? Can I purchase MULTIVIEW and the LEVEL DEVELOPMENT PACK from MICROWARE? How much will they charge? BASIC09 and the GFX, GFX2, and the SYSCALL libraries that I love to use so much, are these unique to the COCO3, or are they available to any machine under OS-9? Also, what is the difference between OS-9 and OS9K? Will MICROWARE still support OS-9 or will I have to get another machine that runs OS-9000 when my COCO3 has had it? Lastly, are there any other machines, other than the MM/1 and Frang Hogg's TOM CAT that cost under $1500.00 and can run under OS9000? Something tells me that these machines, just like all the OS-9 software, is lying around all over the place but that nobody's advertising and making things hard for me to find! If anybody knows what is going on, plese drop me note. I also would like to thank the people that responded to my last request. When I finish my communications program, you can be sure that I will post it!
