In a way XINU nicely complements CP/M.

For many years, the controversy raged:  Was CP/M really an operating
system, or was it just a program loader?  The trouble was that CP/M
merely loaded a file into memory and jumped to it, and little beyond
that.

Well, XINU does most things that operating systems do, *except* load
files into memory.  So:

     XINU + CP/M == OS
