Why don't I make those apps for Uzix? Well, first of all, I'm an Assembly
programmer, and afaik C is the main language for Uzix. In addition, I will
have to get used to Uzix first before I can start working on it. I know a
lot about Dos, but nothing about Uzix, and I'm afraid it will be a bit slow
(multitasking, C core, no direct access to the hardware allowed, etc). And
last but not least, Uzix doesn't work with my HD. I use my MSX + harddisk as
developers environment, and I think it's not very handy if I have to compile
to disk everytime, which even can't happen directly because the disks are
not Dos-compatible so I will have to use an external program for that...

I have to confess you're also right about that. But there's more to it (see
above).
