You may open a text or bitmap screen of various sizes and ``connect'' it to one of the functions keys as sort of a ``virtual console'' (a somewhat better interface than the 386 offers). User and Tutorial Manuals that do not replace but add to the documentation that AT&T offers. GCC, GNU Emacs, and a dozen other Freely Distributable products. GCC has been modified to deal with ELF executables as well as Position Independent Code. There are also several third party developers that are working on their respected ports to Amiga Unix.
