it added at least one...:

GEM (not GEMDOS) is NOT an operating system.  It is an operating environment
which is run on top of an operating system.  TOS (which may-or-may-not be
a variant of CPM-68k) is the operating system.  It would look very much
like the IBM PC-DOS in its structure, as GEM was originally intended for
use on the IBM-PC.  The GEM running on the ST IS the DR operating environ-
ment, not a variant thereof.

I think that covers it.....
