NT is based on the VMS architecture and contains some DOS-like bits (DOS borrowing from QDOS from CP/M from UNIX), and VMS and UNIX are sort of similar in terms of security model, AFAICT (having not worked with VMS myself, I'm going on secondhand quotes here). > and all > other UNIX versions are incompatible clones By definition, a clone is a copy of something. Since NT wasn't around until the early 90s, and UNIX was written in the 60s/70s, that somewhat precludes that statement. > Anyone want to try for 32bit CPM? It is alive and well on the www. FlexOS is a concurrent CP/M based DOS for 32-bit machines, IIRC. Based on DOS Plus I think, which is why Caldera can't release DOS Plus under GPL.

I don't think the underlying stuff is at all similar though, although I've worked a lot more extensively with GEM than with GEOS. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
