Ok, I've changed kernel.e to kernel.ex and written documentation on almost
everything so far. It's all available at my website:

Your read me file instructions use /bin directory and the shell
script uses /bin directory. There is no /bin directory in the
ZIP file. Not all users may understand how to correct the
problem if they are not familiar with unix.

I meant to type:
Your read me file instructions use /bin directory and the shell
script uses /bin directory. There is no /bin directory in the
ZIP file. Not all users may understand and try to correct the
problem if they are not familiar with unix.

The /bin directory, in EuOS, is a virtual filesystem which contains
information about each EuOS program. It is mounted by EuOS at runtime through
the binfs filesystem (see programs.e). It does not exist on the disk, nor does
it contain program binaries as on Unix. It just keeps track of various data
about each program including the program's name, version, and the routine_id
of it's main routine.

There is not much of a purpose... mostly, it's just for fun. However,
(hopefully), programs writtren on EuOS will run on any platform which
EuOS runs on (maybe it would even be possible to make a real operating
system with an Euphoria interpreter built in...) without modification.
It also provides a simple form of multitasking and some simple
interprocess communications (between EuOS tasks, that is), which might
be useful in Euphoria programs. But mostly, it's just for fun.
