: Does GNO implement all of ORCA/Shell's shell calls?  If so, for which

It does. I tested it with both old style (<2.0) and new style (>= 2.0) calls,
and it worked flawlessly :) As for the VERSION call, dunno. 2, I guess.

: How does a shell program distinguish GNO from ORCA?

By doing a kernStatus() call and checking for toolerror() afterwards. If
no error occured -> you are in GNO. If an error occured -> not so, go on
to check if you are in ORCA and which version of ORCA you have.
