[ _does_ the line-eater really exist ? ]

A few months ago I seem to recall two or three articles from people  who
said  that  they  were  porting  OS9/68000  to  the Atari ST.  A typical
message would imply that they were nearly there, and  to  stand  by  for
more  details.   Without  exception  they seem to have dried up.  I keep
looking at software lists, and watching the net, but there is no OS9  to
be seen.

Is there some reason why a port  _can't_  be  done?   Do  the  Microware
hit-men come and shoot your kneecaps ? Or, (as is probably more likely,)
have  I  just  missed  an  anouncement  or  two.   Could  someone please
enlighten me.

Cheers,
Frank.
