Yes, there you are right. I did think too much of a modern and maybe
bigger sytsem. But still, we are the only legal TOS system they have.=20

Ok, in real I never had somebody asking for EmuTOS for inclusion in
other emulators like Hatari, StonX and Aranym. So I'm not shure, how
strong the will is to really use no illegal copied software. Maybe, we
will find a method to make EmuTOS smaller in the Future. Maybe, we still
have some redundancies in the different subsystems, that we could
integrate more - maybe in form of a library or commonly used code. But
anyway, I think this will be eaten up by future extensions. Hard to say,
where we should stop then.
