I agree with Dave, although I must admit I am biased.  I think the
p-System has problems, but I still think it is one of the best PORTABLE
operating systems for MICROS.  How many other operating systems can be
completely portable to so many microcomputers?  How many other micro
operating systems are as easy to learn and self-prompting?  Think about the
other so-called standard operating systems for micros.  CP/M, Apple Dos, etc.

I also don't think much of wordstar and there are even features in the 
Pascal editor I'd like to see in vi.  (Of course, we have a much extended 
version resembling Richard Kaufmann's ASE editor).

There is no comparison to old relics like CP/M with its cryptic commands.
