 Michael,

 Steve Adams sent me the demo. version of G-Windows for the STs.
 It only works on the monochrome monitor (640 X 400). He said
 that the standard color monitor (640 X 200) is too coarse for
 G-Windows. I have seen G-Windows on a VGA monitor for OS-9000,
 and it looks great!

 I think there are two better options:

 1) Wait for Kevin Darling to finish his ST upgrade for K-Windows,
    and we make a deal with him.

 2) Wait for the Falcon030 to be debuted by Atari in March.
    Hope that we can convince Microware to develop an '030 OSK
    port for it. Then contract with Gespac for the Falcon version.
    The Falcon is a dynamic machine with a 640 X 400 color output
    (over 65,000 of 200,000 possible hues), built in IDE interface
    with 2.5" drive option, a Motorola DSP - capable of 16 channels
    handled without CPU assistance, all possible sound and video I/O
    ports, and it can be attached to a SCSI HD and is capable of
    reproducing better sound quality than a CD. See the Feb. BYTE
    for more info. Priced as low as $799.
