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

P.S.: Ich hatte diesen Artikel vor einer Woche in comp.sys.atari.st
gepostet, aber bisher leider noch keine Antwort darauf erhalten.
Deswegen versende ich ihn nochmal hier in dnet.atari und sub.sys.st
Entschuldigung, dass er in Englisch ist, ich hahtte ihn ja schon in
comp...
Vielleicht bekomme ich ja so 'ne Antwort!
