Bah. I LIKED DOS..... simple, not quite elegant :) Now we have all
these confounded DLLs, font folders that act funny, and programming
is a nightmare with a minimal compiler setup taking more space than a
full DOS install!
Pooh. I liked CP/M too - just WATCH me run a CP/M emulator under
Linux somewhere - or maybe I should get that PDP-11 emulator going
with RSTS/E...... now THERE'S some packages for LRP.... pdp11.lrp :)
cpm80.lrp :) rstse.lrp :)

rc.lrp is the NEW shell coming out of AT&T's Plan 9 project, the
supposed successor to UNIX. rc is cute, and MUCH smaller than
anything else - smaller than ash.... by about 30K, if I remember
right.
Busybox does offer a lean, stripped down init with a uniq inittab;
they also have some sort of deal where busybox can act as /linuxrc (I
don't understand that either...)
