The GNO Multitasking Environment
GNO is a UNIX-like software package for the Apple IIgs, which
runs on top of the native operating system, GS/OS.
This is master documentation site for GNO.
It consists of the following sections:
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Reference Manuals
- Manual Pages
- GNO-Related Web Links
- Old Documentation (August 1996 Revision for GNO v2.0.4)
Remember:
If someone comes up to you on the street and offers you some
Windows (95, NT) ... Just say GNO!
Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)
The
FAQ
for the USENET newsgroup, comp.sys.apple2.gno may be found
here.
It is recommended reading and contains information that is not covered
in the manuals, or that supercedes the manuals. For a summary of the
most recent changes (since the last update), see the FAQ
Change Log.
Reference Manuals
These are based on Procyon's August 1996 v2.0.4 documents, but have
been updated and enhanced.
Manual Pages
This is the set of manual pages for the GNO base distribution. It does
not include manual pages for utilities and libraries that are considered
to be GNO "add-ons".
Note that these are for GNO v2.0.6, are under active development, and
are subject to change.
Some of the documented functions, programs, and files are not available
for GNO v2.0.4.
Each of the chapters has an introductory page, titled intro.
For a brief introduction to the manual pages in general, see the
Introduction to Chapter 1.
