[Coco] Expert C programmer wanted

[Robert Gault]

I have the OS-9 Pascal package but never used it. I just looked through 
the manual to try to answer your question and learned two things. First, 
the binding procedure for the manual is awful as all the pages are 
falling out. Second, I have some suggestions.

OS-9 Pascal contains a Shell command which is one way of accessing OS-9 
directly. As with Basic-09 and OS-9 C, OS-9 Pascal can make use of 
assembly code. Therefore one could write any needed routines for 
interacting directly with the OS-9 system.
