Dingus is the one suggested by the folks in the development lab for one O/S in use here. I won't divulge which O/S, but the suggestion was made to our TPF sysprogs who are working on the latest release of their system.

But that's only rumor, I have no way of knowing for sure. At least it's worth looking into.
