Greg Onufer and I started to port X to the Atari. I can't speak for Greg,
but I haven't got to far. I had some troubles with my Atari and got mad it
and left it turned off for a month. Next, it was summer, and I began to
sail almost every day. Now the Mega ST, MINIX, and X version 11 are
all near their release date. X requires multi-tasking. I had been toying
with the idea of creating my own mini-kernel, but with MINIX almost
here I am very tempted to wait for it. Also it has been announced that
X version 11 will be available in two weeks. I would prefer to port X V11
rather than the now obsolete V10. Finally, I was hoping that purchasing
a new Mega ST would decrease development time (bigger ram disk).

That's the news from here. I'll let Greg speak for himself.
