			* [[EthaWin]] - (Allen C. Huffman) A free windowing library that worked on a text screen. It allowed a pull-down menu, pop-up dialog boxes, and full keyboard or mouse support. A block character could be moved around the screen to act as a mouse, but all functions were also done through hot-key commands. Other than some demos and proof-of-concepts, the only known released program to make use of this environment was the Towel disk utility for CoCo 3 OS-9 and the MM/1.
			* [[Invaders09]] - (Allen C. Huffman) A simple Space Invaders-style game, created after Allen learned of a new system call in NitrOS-9 that allowed directly accessing video memory. Thanks to code contributed by Robert Gault, the program was released in a version that also worked on stock OS-9.
	* [[MiniBanners09]] - (Allen C. Huffman) A port of MiniBanners to OS-9. This gave the program the ability to print in the background while the CoCo was in use for other things.		* [[MiniBanners09]] - (Allen C. Huffman) A port of MiniBanners to OS-9.

	* [[MultiBoot]] - (Terry Todd/Allen C. Huffman) - A utility to allow multiple OS-9 Bootfiles to exist on the same floppy disk. Typing "DOS" would present a list of boots, then the user could select and run using that bootfile. This allowed having boots for MultiVue, Sierra games, etc. on the same disk. Terry did the RS-DOS portion, including the menu system, and Allen did the OS-9 utility that configured the tool.		* [[MultiBoot]] - (Terry Todd/Allen C.

	In 1984, [[Allen Huffman]] moved from Houston, Texas to the tiny (population 225) town of Broaddus, Texas (about two hours north). The nearest shopping mall (Lufkin Mall) was almost an hour away, and on one weekend, Allen was visiting the Radio Shack in this mall where he met another teenager, [[Terry Todd]]. They spent time playing a King's Quest game on a Tandy 1000 computer, with Terry operating the joystick while Allen did the typing.
