         ***  Attention  Amiga  owners:   You say you want a powerful,
         flexible,  multitasking,  multiuser operating system for your
         Commodore  Amiga?   Well, you're going to get it!  A company,
         whose  name  I  can not yet mention, is now in the process of
         porting OS9 to the Commodore Amiga!  Believe me, I know.

         Designed  by  Microware  Inc.,  OS9  is a Unix-like operating
         system,  with  much of the power and flexibility of Unix, but
         without  the  price or size!  It is, and has been for about 6
         years,  running  on  a  variety  of  6809  and  68000  CPU's,
         including  Gimix,  Smoke Signal, SWTPC, Tandy Color Computer,
         Hazelwood,   Helix,   and  UniQuad.   It  has  recently  been
         announced  and  is being distributed with a 68000 coprocessor
         for  the  IBM  PC/XT/AT!   It is also in the process of being
         ported  to  the  Atari  ST.   It will be available before, or
         during  the  second  quarter  of 1986, and possibly the first
         quarter of 1986!

         OS9  comes  with  a  full complement of utilities, pipes, and
         filters,  just  as  Unix  does.  It also provides access to a
         wide  variety  of  business  software,  and a wide variety of
         programming   tools   and  languages,  including  C,  Pascal,
         Basic09, Fortran, and Cobol.

         Stay  tuned  to  the  CompuServe OS9 Sig for news of this new
         product  for  the  Commodore  Amiga,  and  for constant news,
         information,   technical   assistance,   and   public  domain
         software.

         Remember, you heard it here first!  Please pass the word, and
         when  you  want to visit the OS9 Sig, just type "GO OS9" from
         anywhere  on  CompuServe!  The  OS9  Sig  is dedicated to the
