[Coco] Re: CUBIX on the CoCo?

You are correct. Not a bad OS at that. There are somethings that I 
like about the disk routines and some that I don't.

It could be ported and run somewhat like FLEX. The basic 
Interpreter that comes with it is concisce, small and maybe 
expanded to better interface with the Coco graphics. That would be 
a bit of work to do that though. 

I have downloaded David's simulator and software and over the 
next week plan to run it and get a feel for the OS and what it can 
do.
