Nice if you want to use harddisk, without having any MSX-DOS!

What about Novaxis?

So it is compatible with all formats?

So deleted files on a diskette can also not be undeleted with MSX-DOS2? (This
would mean it is FULLY compatible with DOS2)

Nice!

Better than tcsh? Impossible! :-)

Well, I'm not good in compiling, especially not with Hi-Tech C... Maybe you
can compile loads of goodies for us, simple users?
Another thing: is UZIX multi-user? Is 'screen' compiled yet? (To make
multi-user more useful, since I guess there is no terminal support! ;-)
