Re: [NTLK] Linux PDA Similar to Newton

. I will agree that there are more than one OS's that have a CLI.MS-
DOS, CP/M, FreeDOS, DrDOS etc, etc...
Still on any of those you could replace the shell with a GUI and they
would not be CLI OS's.

So what I am saying is that the CLI is merely an interface ton an OS.
It does not define it.
