[Coco] origins of OS-9

[Wayne Campbell]

You're welcome, Tony. I have not heard back from Ken yet. I know he is busy 
running a corporation (CEO of Cellencor, Inc.), so I have no idea how long 
it might be before I hear from him. I will email him again, and ask if I can 
give you his email and allow you to contact him.

Wayne
