>  Type of system you run OS-9 on.
CoCo III, 512K, 2 360K floppies, RGBA monitor, modem, printer...

>  What do you use OS-9 for? (Software development, word processing, etc.)
I do ALL of my printed stuff using uemacs/mroff as a team.  I like to play
with C, and some of my stuff occasionally even works.  Half of my keystrokes
or more are into a terminal program's window, doing THIS sort of thing, tho..
:-)

>  Significant programs you've contributed to public or private domain.
Significant, nay, but programs, yes.  :-)  "sa", a little one-liner (IE, one
COMMMAND line, many program lines. :-) that converts English commands to
CoCo screen controls ("sa color 3", "sa bold on").  I like to create fonts,
but my old font editor died, and I can't find a new one.
I did "dragonfont", which needs more work.

>  How others might obtain the fruit of your work.
Either email me, or order them from the COCO listserver.

>  Current and future projects you're working on.
ls, which is loaded with options.  Sorts yer directory, divides it into
directories and files, ignores (but prints on option) .files, and the output
cana be formatted however you like.  It will also be recursive to make auto-
matic directory trees from the same command.

>  What programs would you hope to find and/or buy in the near future?
A font editor (nudge nudge).  Another type of 'roff' someone mentioned.
And maybe a font editor that can do just plain clipboard (get/put) blox too.

>  Other electronic forums you frequent (CIS, Delphi, etc.)
The COCO subscription listserver.  If you're not on it now, get to it!  It's
a bit more active that this or .m6809, and talks a lot about os9 (albeit mainly
the CoCo's version of Level II).

I know, my stuff pales in comparison to usenet links and other great stuff.
But at least I'm trying! :-)  And whoever's working on the uucp mail link,
GET IT DONE! I WANT IT! :-}
