 Where do you 'know' this from?  Northern Xposure was the only vendor selling
Gale Force products at the Atlanta fest.  The ONLY working copy of Shanghai
for OS-9 at the fest was sitting on a disk by my computer all weekend.  It
wouldn't run because of a minor problem in the latest version of NitrOS9.  Not
a bug, but simply a new system call that was accidentally left out, making
Shanghai barf and die.

  I've been bugging Bill Nobel (who ported it) for the past year to finish the
port.  I got a 99% working version from him just before the Atlanta fest,
and now he just has minor tweaks to do before it's finished.

  So NO ONE at the moment is selling the OS-9 port of Shanghai.  If you really
want it, write/call Gale Force and tell them you have money in your pocket
that's just itching to be spent on Shanghai, and nothing else.  Bill KNOWS
there's a demand for it, he just can't be bothered to finish it, as there
are other projects that interest him more.

  This, perhaps, beats out Sundog's "Contras" for the best/longest known
piece of vaporware.
