Just a clarification - there are (at least) two ports of OS-9 for the ST. We (Microware) sell one version, Cumana sells another version. Price and included features may differ...they are both inherently OS-9, however, and so they would both have binary compatibility with all other OS-9/68xxx platforms. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######
