Apparently os/9 for the ST was demonstated at comdex.  Does anyone
know the price for the system?  Do they supply any sort of windowing
system?
/* End of text from net.micro.atari */

Prices I've heard are as follows:

	OS-9/68000			$250
	+ Basic09			$299

	C compiler			$295
	Pascal compiler			$295

C, Pascal, and Basic09 jointly will go for some price I don't yet know,
but I am assured by a fellow at MicroTRENDS (a Schaumburg IL company that
is marketing OS-9/68K for the Atari and eventually for the Amiga) that
it will be <$500.  These are "list prices," I presume; another message
on the CompuServe OS-9 SIG (which is where I get my data from) has already
popped up from a fellow who found a store that would sell it for a fairly
hefty discount.

Windowing?  Not yet.  Since Microware has gone for VDI with other OS-9
68K stuff, I'd presume that they would go that route here also.  I
understand that one will shortly be able to run TOS as a process under
OS-9.
