Mark,
   OS/9 is a nice operation system, but I have a suggestion that you (and
many other amigaites will like.  I suggest porting minix to the amiga.
I already have the book on order and plan to purchace the software.
   Think about what what minix has to offer.  I includes almost full
AT&T look-alike system/utilities/compilers.  If anyone out there loves
unix like I have come to (I a reformed VMS weniie), then they should
be jumping for joy about the prospest of minix on the amiga.
   I will take a look at the minix system, but I am not sure that I
know enough about the internals of the amiga to take on a OS calaber
project.  If anyone else out there wants to take it on ... GO FOR IT!
It's about time that the amiga gets a real multitaksing/multiuser
(Please ... No AMIGAdos flames!!) for a real multitasking system.

ps... Mark ... the path to ru-aim via uucp is...!rutgers!aim!carroll.
