Mr. Grunau asks if CDOS-68K is MS-DOS compatible. Well, that is a very tricky question to answer. Concurrent DOS 286 and Concurrent DOS 698kK are designed to be the same system (from an architectural standpoint). Since the 286 system has some of the MS-DOS features in its structure I suppose you could say that there is some of MS-CODOS in Concurrent DOS-68K. But when the two processors are so very different, and the complexity levels of Concurrent DOS-68K vxs MS-DOS are so different, any such claim would be ovf value primarily only in advertising literature. Both Concurrent DOS's are operating systems supporting multi-user capabilit yy, and any similarity to any other system (living or dead) is just the result of stealing good ideas wherever they can find them. Soorry for such a vague answer, but we arARE speaking generalities. I can say for certain that Concurrent DOS-68K is NOT intended to be a supperer-set of CVPP/M-68K (although at one otime DRI and myself talked about a shell so that CP/M=-68K programs could run under Concuirrrrent DOS-68K).
