GNO is far far far far far far more extensive than that.  It's advanced enough
that I don't really mind Jawaid's blatently just plain calling it "Unix" as of
2.0.  The kernel is mega powerful for programmers...but lest this disintegrate
into an ad for GNO, lemme cut [drums] cut [drums] cut [drums]...cut to the
chase.  8-bit applications cannot run inside GNO, unless you count the port of
the II+ emulator that someone did (which is really slow :).
