I thought that an open source approach would be the most appropriate way (at least for my own programs). In particular, the GNU GPL warrants that any modifications and improvements of cmios9 and derived projects would imply this GPL again and would be a benefit for all of us.

Please feel free to add or extract the features that you like (as long as it remains under the GNU GPL and, of course, I remain on the authors list). I am open for questions and suggestions (you can find my email address within the cmios9 distribution).

There have been many occasions when you helped me when i was in real trouble with my own CMI system.  I don't think there is anyone out there who understands the inner workings of the CMI series 3 more than yourself.  Perhaps someone else can further develop the software now that you have made it open source.  Is it possible that there could be further enhancements made to the CMI 2X QDOS software ?  I hope all is well with you.
