I have been reading about OS9 for awhile on this newsgroup, and I wonder, what
is OS9?  It seems to be a nice operating system for 68000 processors, handling
windows and things.  That is just a guess, however, and not really enough
information.  Could someone please POST a brief description of OS9 that might
illuminate some of us who are not aware of this wonder and explain why it
would be a good idea for Amiga/520ST?  If possible, a pointer to some sort of
way to find out more would be welcome also.  Thanks in advance, -- Clark
