In the previous post, it was commented that what was needed 
was some commitment by developers to improve their porducts
and for there to be a wider variety of products porduced. 
Some products were suggested including SLM drivers, graphics
packages, and so forth.  

I would like to comment that some of the need for products like
the Spectre GCR and PC-Speed(and others like them) arises from 
the fact that there is software available on those machines which
are in ways better developed that ST software.  I congratulate 
the developers of the emulators for making that software available
to ST users, but I must ask software developers to fill in the
gaps with ST software.  

Personally, I am in need of a professional package to display data
for publication (akin to Mongo on the Sun's).  As a result, I am
working to develop software on another machine with some other people
to do this.  I would like to extend the invitation to more experienced
ST/GEM programmers to help me produce a ST version.  It is this kind
collaboration that is necessary in the ST world.  Aren't there enough
terminal emulation programs already!!??  

I hope the ST developers group really gets going and takes the initiative
in this area.  I would also hope that Atari would support such       
development.  Let's hear it for some variety and quality.
