And it doesn't *have* to be a bloated giant; only the prepackaged versions
are. If you want your own, whip out LFS and recompile it *any way you
like.* Yes, there are still versions that can fit on a pair of floppies --
no HD required!
BIG difference.
Yup.

whiny computers/OSs won't open whiny PDFs...
Who has a version of MicroWare's OS-9 68K that'll run on an Atari ST?
