- If you look at the software which run only on the Archimedes, then you can't
- compare them with the programs, which runs only in a linemode under UNIX.
- Either you compare unixprograms in linemode with programs in taskwindows

- or you compare archimedes-desktop-programs with
- UNIX-desktop-enviroment-programs (there are editors and debuggers under
- X11, GL ...)
