Subject: CP/M68k vs TOS

   I would like to thank everyone who helped with my question
about CP/M68k versus TOS. As was to be expected, everyone was
more then helpful. Consider an indication of just who owns
STs!

   However, I guess what my friend and I both feel was basically
correct. Atari did NOT write TOS, it modified CP/M68k. While I
realize writing an OS is no small feat, I think where the question
came in is that it was so vehemently stated that TOS is not CP/M68k
that we were under the impression that it was supposed to be
a total rewrite (effectively) which resembled it.

   In the end, it's no great loss anyhow as the world has not
been overwhelmed by the powerful software available for CP/M68k
anyhow. (As soon as you see the "CP/M" in front you should've figured, right?)
but as "What software does it run or is it compatible with?" becomes
more and more the question asked nowadays, technically speaking
CP/M68k programs cannot be included.

    Where's Unix System V anyhow. It's about time to flush this
single user nonsense anyhow!
