- Hello..
-
- First of all I'd like to send a little 'I'm sorry' to Pietro Ghizzoni
- (the author of GUI) I had no intension of insulting you or your work,
- and I'm very sorry of you felt that way..
-
- After my little note on OS DevKit as an alternative to GUI and JADE, I've
- gotten many mails from people not knowing what this extension is, or
- some who's not aware of the new, and easier, commands. Loads of questions
- on what the extension realy is. Apparently Brice (the author) is not
- on this list, or is to busy to advertise his work, so as a Beta-tester
- I'm writing this to inform about what this extension is, and what it
- supports..

- Regarding: OS DevKit V1.54 (beta-test-release)
- Extension size: 93444 bytes..
- Slot: 20.
- Author: Brice Fromentin
-
- General notes:
- The extensions supports a wide range of systemfunctions, many of the
- areas is covered by 2 different sets of commands, one (original) that
- is on machine-level, and one on user-level. The first requiring quite
- complex setups, but it gives complete control of everything you'd like
- to use. The second is much like the regular AMOS system with simple
- and easy-going commands. The two levels of commands can be mixed most
- of the way to give a maximum of control and power with the least
- effort...
