Apart from a rather small collection of courageous magazines that buck
the mainstream microcomputer press trends, OS-9 is very little known.
BYTE has, aside from advertisements, mentioned it five times that I
know of (twice in articles in the April 1984 issue, once in a letter
someone with "The Mill" sent to Jerry Pournelle, once in a BIX message
in the Atari ST material from neil@atari, who said that someone was
porting it to the ST but he didn't know anything more than that, and
once in one of the, if not *the*, first "BYTE: Japan" columns--although
OS-9 is second only to Unix in popularity in Japan, since then their
columnist determinedly sticks with International Bowel Movement
clones.  Maybe he wasn't in tune with BYTE editorial policy when he
wrote about OS-9 that one time? :-).  It therefore occurs to me that
there might be a fair number of us OS-9 users on USENET, each not
knowing that the others exist.

It might be worth compiling a list of OS-9 users on USENET so that
people might be able to share information and find help locally.
I'd be willing to accumulate data sent me.
