<Compare this to modern OSs - windows, macos, etc where the development pack

VMS, all of the Unix clones, RT-11 to name a few still provide full
development environment. I'm sure some(I would) here would add CPM
OS9 and even PC based DOS(MS, DRdos, CCPM...). the amount of freeware
or lowcost shareware for DOS/winders is quite impressive and plentyful.

Of all the software out there CPM-80, APPLE and PCdos has the largest
archives, but the PDP-8, -11, VAX archives are getting big.
