Envision the following: Amiga has versions that run on top of 30
operating systems, like Rebol. The total space taken up by all this is
15 Megs, out of the 650 Megs on a CD.
The user is presented with a set of Install icons, one for each OS.
Maybe these lead in turn to folders containing the various language
versions.
(This is pure speculation, BTW. But if Rebol can do 30 OSes, why not
Tao/Amiga? )
