I realize that OS/9 is an operating system unto itself.  The point is that
GEM and VDI are not:  they are acually libraries.  It's still not clear
to me whether they are in ROM on the ST or linked in with every application,
but, regardless, OS/9 should be able to talk to these libraries.  Theoretically
code linked to access GEM/VDI (if such libraries existed) would still run
if the program were run under TOS.  The I/O, on the other hand, is more
troublesome.  I wasn't totally serious in asking such a thing, just wishful
thinking.
