Hi,

I must correct myself, the most windows I had on one screen was three, not
four.

I started to build a demo when I discovered that NitrOS-9 had duplicated
(Perhaps by a really bad design decision) Tandy's horse**** ones.

So I have started another project:

NitrOS-9 Level-II Windows

http://www.tandycoco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=777#p777

I hope that I will get some help with this one, first by someone extracting
the Window descriptor source from NitrOS-9 and adding them to the project.
Then I can plan how to build new good ones for NitrOS-9 ones.

I cannot even assemble my old source with the asm that is supplied. :-II

NitrOS-9 needs to move into a more useable form right out of the box.

The practice of being willing to help someone do something is flawed because
all those following behind must do the same amount of work.

This is prevent many persons interested in NitrOS-9 to give up because the
system is not very nice for new users.
