GEOS does away with the file limits on the root directory.

GS/OS does not have a 32MB partition barrier.  All you
need to do is use the HFS file system which GS/OS
supports.  GS/OS is file system independent.  You drop
in FSTs of your choice to use new file systems.

For GS/OS, I'd rather see the effort go to developing new
FSTs and improving the old ones (such as the MS-DOS
FST).

Apple Pi developed BOS because SOS was limited in
ways that GS/OS is not.
