First, Thank you very much !
I don't know yet when I will continue it, but I think one day It will work. But
I have currently no time at all.

For the OS, we are *very slowly* making a graphical interface for TI92 (a team 
of two men. I don't know if the other man want I tell his name.) I said very
slowly because we have not a lot of time for that, and we didn't chat about it
for more than 1-2 months.
Don't worry. The name WILL be not Windows, or something like that. I personnaly
like SkyLight. We was also thinking about NeoOS, or NeXO (it mean nothing).

But we haven't in mind to put the multitask kernel into. Because WHAT is
the use of that ? Pratically all programs use the entire screen. And If we make
small examples of multitask programs with small screen, what is the use of playing
to mine while seeing a 3D engine ? 

Bye !
