 I thought the latest rumor concerning the Basic09 and the Microware C
 compiler would be of general interest.

 The basic is supposed to be $99
 The C compiler is supposed to be $150
 
 This is compared to $150 and $400 for the general os-9 versions.

 Yet if one could (in theory?) transfer files from COCO to os-9
 the existing basic and C run fine.
 Does this mean that those of us who run non COCO machines as well
 will have cheaper software available soon?

 Supposedly the difference between the two disk formats is that
 the disk driver has been patched (on the COCO) to be one track
 offset from standard os-9 formats.
