- One note about OS/2. I thought PM and WPS were both GUIs. That WPS replaced PM
- in version 2.0. As far as I know, WPS doesn't have a shell in the same sense
- that MS Windows does. If you want to talk about Command line shells...then it
- would be cmd.exe in most cases. In others it might be 4os2.exe. And then there
- is ksh, sh ,rsh, and so forth.

- For NT, I thought MS was planning on making a GUI called Cairo.
