Lines: 15 From: Dan FranklinI just bought a book on the Atari ST ("Inside the Atari ST", or something like that; look for a trade pb with lots of typos and grammatical errors, that's the one!) It says that the Atari has two operating systems: a version of CP/M-68K enhanced with system calls for the special Atari hardware (called TOS), and GEM, running ON TOP OF TOS (if you can believe that). So the Atari, at least, uses semi-standard OS software... Just think of all the millions of CP/M-68K programs out there! Dan Franklin
