  The OS-9 executable format included the type of code (native code, byte
codes, etc) and with that, the system could either load and execute the
binary or load the interpreter, then the binary and execute it (or rather,
the interpreter execute it). A very modular system---think of DLLs that
could be executed. I rather like the OS.
