Talking about multi-tasking, I read in Znet (I think) about Atari's
Midi-tasking software which is aimed at the midi market but should be
useful elsewhere. This piece of software is apparently being sold for
$12.95 presumably so that people will be tempted to use it.

+ Is this software available now? 
+ Will be it available in the UK?
+ Does it work with older TOS versions than 1.4?
+ Will Atari publish guidelines for creating multi-tasking software or is
  this included with the software?

Fanx,
Mark.
