+# AltOS
+
+This is Keith's "operating system" for [TeleMetrum](../TeleMetrum/).

+

+Keith started over from scratch and wrote something that does just what we 
+needed.

+The source available from [git.gag.com](http://git.gag.com) in the project 
+[fw/altos](http://git.gag.com/?p=fw/altos;a=summary).  
+
+Note that actually building these sources requires a modifified version of 
+sdcc and a set of helper utilities that we're not publishing since we hope 
+to have the important bits accepted upstream shortly.  Watch this space for 
+more details soon.
