These would be...the ST/Mac/PC user who is saying : > "You know, if only I had a multitasking OS, this is what > I could accomplish."< I would like to see the TT support multitasking, multi-windowing with the following applications: 1) A good CASE tools, to allow for full flowcharting and data flow diagramming in one window 2) C compiler/editor in another window 3) C source code level debugger in another window 4) A Shell in another window (to look at directories, or anything else). This would allow me to write C programs, make flow charts for same alot easier then anything I can currently do on my Mega ST4. Right now, I can buy the CASE tools for a Mac IIX, but even the Mac IIX does support REAL multi-tasking multi-windowing. But, sun Workstations and Apollow Workstations support multi-windowing. They are a little out of my price range though. If the TT could come out with the multi-tasking multi-windowing OS it would be a start. But, there start aren't any professional CASE tools out for the ST (or by extension the TT) yet. So, thats what I would like to see in a TT !! P.S. Oh yes, I need another window to play Flight Simulator in when I get bored coding!!!! Richard Covert
