it supports tabs, more commands, command completition, scrollbar, backdrops and so on. The DOS shares the same commands and syntax, but the shell console is MUI based and highly improved. The "kickstart" of MorphOS is included in a file called boot.img. To keep the system clean it must not be touched by the user. It contains a draft mirror of the sys: directory tree that includes the actual OS files. The directory MorphOS/ is a special one and rated as private. The installation adds also the following directories to sys. The layout of the system disk (sys:) basically is the same as under OS3.x and comes with these directories: Harddisks use the RDB, filesystems as FFS, SFS, PFS work with MorphOS. The base of the system is build around exec, intuition and dos. On top of a new microkernel (which is completely invisible to the user) there are the same OS compounds present like under OS 3.x. It started a bit more than 10 years ago with the aim to write an OS that is fully OS3.x compatible, shares the same API and the same logic to use. MorphOS basically *is* an Amigaish operating system in the sense of the Commodore Amiga OS 3.x. ![]() Ulrich Beckers - article originally published MorphOS in 5 minutes - a brief introduction for users familiar with the Commodore Amiga
