Can someone on the net provide a short review of multitasking options for the
ST. I've seen info about IDRIS, MINIX, OS/9 etc. How about a quick list of
names of OSs and features they offer.

Please, no cross-bearing, just some simple, honest, UNbiased facts!

Just as an aside, often people write about infinite reboots after they have
added something to their AUTO folders or have a desk accessory that is buggy
or they have forgotten to include the RSC file. I use STARTUP.PRG, a batch
file processor that lets me conditionallly run codes and to select accessories
at startup. If the system crashes, no problem - on the next boot cycle I
just say no (a la Nancy Reagan) to running the code or loading the ACC.
