Almost OT: How can that be?

On or about 04:22 PM 1/15/99 +0000, Lawrence Walker was caught in a dark alley speaking these words: Name: Perl. (version 4.0.35, IIRC.) Available? Darnit--downloaded it over a year ago... maybe www.perl.org??? Sources for free? Nope, lest not any legal ones. Also, as I've never run OSK (short for OS-9/68K), I can't tell you much about it other than where you might be able to purchase a (legal) copy fairly cheap. The managing editor of "The world of '68 micros" who also runs "Farna Systems" (Frank G. Swygert) sells OSK motherboards & such - they're pretty expensive for the speed, but have some nice features to them nonetheless... he may have an available copy of OSK for those machines for sale... Warning: I can't tell you if it will run (unmodified or otherwise) on an ST or an Amiga (which could also run OSK, IIRC.) http://www.home.pon.net/kf6ntg/68micros/at306.html email: dsrtfox(a)delphi.com Also, the MM/1 was considered to be the best contender for the CoCo4 - email Black Hawk Systems at nimitz(a)delphi.com Anywho, gotta go to bed... long day ahead tomorrow.
