Just a quick note on some OS/9 stuff. I just got off the phone with
the nice folks at Microware and have a little news. They say that
FORTRAN for OS/9-68k (full 77 standard) goes to beta test in October.
Expected release date is Nov. 1. They said a couple of big FORTRAN users
have been after them for months, so now, said users have been tapped to
be beta testers. It's only fair. 
I asked about the "COM" package, it cost $125 and does include a
terminal emulator. I will post a short review when ever I get it.
They also claim to be working on windows and some niffty graphics
software. Look for it at the next COMDEX.
Also of note, TLM (porters for Atari) say they will have the VDI
interface ready sometime the last quarter this year. That's all
the news for now.
