I said computer.  Do you equate the Apple][ with a VAX or an Alpha?  Do
you equate AppleDOS with VMS?  When I said CP/M didn't meet the definition
I assumed people here could interpolate that into real computers.  I mean
when you come right down to it, UCSD-Pascal Version-II for the PDP-11 is
available in source but I really doubt many people staked their business
on that (except for a few small offices that ran canned packages from PCD
Software.)
