RE: A89: Survey for the next version of PlusShell




haha, i told u multiple libraries were good. let's try maybe detaching from
an OS...

personally, i think plusShell and DoorsOS are pretty much useless. They
would be better off as Operating Environments, just as in the ti-86. We
already know that it's not even necessary to have either! and libraries can
even be called without them! so how about everybody compiling without either
OSs in consideration?

PS, correct me if i'm wrong.
