  I realised after I thought about it a little that just in the sence of a
multi-user system, the apple would never handle it..  I just get tired of
DOS..i'd like something would basically be a single user unix..though,
I'd also like it to be multi-tasking (though..I don't know if I'd like
to write the code taht does it..  :)

some of the problem is that you can't call a DOS application from within
another program and have the calling program "use" the data (yeah, you
call a control-d catalog..but it just echo's it to the screen...it doesn't
allow you to put it in a file..or have the program sift through it)..

I've never used assembly on the Apple..so I don't know what kind of 
terrors I'm bringing up here..  maybe I'll write motorola and ask for a
reference...

(oh, about minix..does anyone know if it's reasonable to put that on an
apple II, and if so, where can I find it?)
