MX2 Multitasking Kernel, problem!

Hallo!

I recently got MX2-Multitasking Kernel for the ATARI ST by Fred Brooks,
4145 44st #5, San Diego CA 92105, Telephone 619-584-0281 San Diego CA, 5pm-10pm.
So far to the author.

I've got a problem with this piece of software:
Fred writes that it only runs under TOS from 11/20 1985 and TOS from 
04/22 1987.
I got ROM TOS 02/06 1986!! And as he thought it doesn't run, it simply
blocks the cpu (no input etc!).
Is there a version out there that works together with this TOS version?
Fred wrote MX2 in TDI Modula-2 3.01a. He says that he wants to rewrite it
in C, did he already do so?
He also mentions in his documentation ARC files source.arc and tdilib.arc.
I didn't get them either.

So any hints about a running version for my TOS version would be appreciated,
(perhaps an e-mail address of Fred?),
Thanx,
   Matthias Pfuetzner
