On or about 04:22 PM 1/15/99 +0000, Lawrence Walker was caught in a dark
alley speaking these words:
> That I hadn't heard about. What is it's name and where is it available.
Name: Perl. (version 4.0.35, IIRC.) Available? Darnit--downloaded it over a
year ago... maybe www.perl.org???
> I find it interesting that a CoCo guy is also an ST devotee.
>I seem to remember hearing that OS9 was also ported to the ST.
>Any sources ?
Sources for free? Nope, lest not any legal ones. Also, as I've never run
OSK (short for OS-9/68K), I can't tell you much about it other than where
you might be able to purchase a (legal) copy fairly cheap.
The managing editor of "The world of '68 micros" who also runs "Farna
Systems" (Frank G. Swygert) sells OSK motherboards & such - they're pretty
expensive for the speed, but have some nice features to them nonetheless...
he may have an available copy of OSK for those machines for sale...
Warning: I can't tell you if it will run (unmodified or otherwise) on an ST
or an Amiga (which could also run OSK, IIRC.)

Also, the MM/1 was considered to be the best contender for the CoCo4 -

Anywho, gotta go to bed... long day ahead tomorrow.
Hope this helps,
