  Yes, GNO implements all ORCA/Shell shell calls, for version 2.0.
VERSION returns whatever number means 2.0.

>How does a shell program distinguish GNO from ORCA?

  There is a GNO system call you can make.  This is a user tool call,
"KernStatus", which takes no parameters.  If the call fails with an
error, GNO is not running.  If the call succeeds and returns some value,
GNO is running.
