ES/2 will be renamed e/OS2

RickCHodgin:
ES/1 will be renamed e/OS1.
ES/2 will be renamed e/OS2.

e/OS1 will be like a 32-bit graphical DOS with console and graphical windows, supporting fonts and basic graphics.

e/OS2 will be a 64-bit near clone of OS/2.  It will run a DOS-extended version of e/OS1 in lieu of DOS, and I'd like to add support for most Win32 apps, and some Win64 apps.

Including legal matters, this may not be the best choice. For example because another combination of the /, O, S and 2 is known as an old 32-bit OS, and the e & S with an inserted C didn't really change that. As if e/OS1 is the 16-bit version of Microsoft OS/2 1.0. With Gopher, because of the e.

RickCHodgin:
What should they be called?  ES/1 and ES/2? :-)

Their full names are Exodus/OS1, and Exodus/OS2.  The e/ is an abbreviation.

-----
UPDATE:
The /OSn is an abbreviation too.

Their full full names are:
Exodus Operating System 1
Exodus Operating System 2

I'm open to suggestions on the name.

RickCHodgin:
In doing a Google search, I don't find any exact references to "e/OS1" or "e/OS2" ... I think they are good names that are different enough from others they could be used.  If not ... I'm not married to them.  I'd change them for the asking by some concerned party of legitimate interest.

It's a trademark. Don't touch other's trademark under any circumstances.
