This is because there is already a module called Init in the OS-9 system...
it contains a table of information used when starting up.  Thus it is
not possible to have a command "Init" because the two module names would
conflict.  Iniz means init but the z makes it different.  Actually, considering
the internal name of the systems calls they use, "Iniz" and "Deiniz" should 
probably be "Attach" and "Detach".
