David Beckmayer sells Micro C-Shell for the 520ST, and, though I haven't received my copy yet, Art Leyenberger of Analog Magazine claims it's great. The $50 version comes with various development tools, and I think there's a $25 version which is just the shell itself. David's address: Beckmeyer Development Tools 592 Jean Street #304 Oakland, CA 94610 He has also mentioned on CompuServe that he has a *multitasking* kernel for the ST called Micro-RTX, and will send the specifications to those interested. Not sure if he's shipping it yet. This kernel is for development on the ST only, and is not designed as a general multitasking environment. Hope my facts are right...
