What is GNO? A#1.1: GNO is a UNIX-like multitasking environment for the Apple IIGS.
• Pre-emptive multitasking. • A shell that takes full advantage of the multitasking provided (i.e., job control), and ‘regular expressions’, and a simple programming language. • A powerful programming environment. All the calls needed to control processes, support Inter-Process Communication (IPC), and other tools necessary to support multitasking are available to the programmer. • The first completely consistent method for accessing serial and console I/O on the Apple II. This makes such things as attaching terminals to your GS, multiline BBSes, remote dial-ups, UUCP or SLIP that doesn’t take over your computer, as well as countless other applications a possibility.
