The GS/OS Exerciser is a menu driven utility offering an environment for
interactive execution of GS/OS calls (things like open a file, read a block
of bytes, get information on a file, ...) so they can be tried w/o writing
a test program of your own. Very nice if you are going to write programs w/
direct GS/OS access (NOT using Pascal's or C's system independant I/O
features) or just to gain some understanding playing with the various
options.
