Yes!  There is a great deal of interest from this author.  I'd like to hear
more details about your library, especially how well it would work for
multi-tasking processes over up to 8 serial ports (with a Digiboard or
equivalent) and whether or not it would allow shared (program) text amongst
the tasks (not critical but it would impress me even more if it does).

I have an application that would be an ideal demo for a DOS multitasker and
which is already set-up for the necessary file record locking (from a UNIX
port).  At your convenience, please leave me UUCP mail either at the
addresses in the .signature or at 'dasys1' with details about the package,
cost, licensing restrictions, etc.  Alternatively, you could call the BBS
number and see what it is I want to use it for.  Thanks.
