- MiNT is a multitasking kernel for the Atari ST/TT/Falcon. It runs on
- all Atari compatible hardware that I know of.
-
- Note that MiNT is *not* MultiTOS; it is only a small part of MultiTOS.
- MultiTOS is a commercial product which includes a new, multitasking
- version of GEM. If you do not have MultiTOS, MiNT will not allow
- you to multitask GEM programs. It will allow you to run any number
- of TOS/TTP programs, together with one (1) GEM program. The easiest
- way to do this is to use the TOSWIN desk accessory (available from
- many Atari archive sites) to launch the TOS/TTP programs.
-
- Note also that this version of MiNT is not officially supported by
- anyone. If you have problems with it, you *might* get help if you
- send a message to mint@atari.archive.umich.edu; then again, you
- might not. It all depends on the mood of the people on the MiNT
- mailing list. The Usenet newsgroup comp.sys.atari.st is also a
- good place to ask questions about MiNT.
