/* Germanized-English RSX Commands and VDOS differences compared to AMSDOS */ Let's make this political correct :-) Further there is NO incompatibility, just by adding the same RSX in two languages. The reason is to be able to work with different DOS.
VDOS is the first DOS to support the Vortex format which become a standard format later on.
== Germanized-English RSX Commands in German and English; VDOS differences compared to AMSDOS ==* Some commands are available in German and English language. This is an advantage when using more than one DOS ROM at the same time.* Vortex apparently considered the is a German company, so they added RSX commands in German and English language. The normal AMSDOS RSX commands |TAPE.xx and |DRIVE/|USER too difficult for german users, and changed them to were added as |CAS and |SELECT (which resemble equivalent german German words ''Kassette'' and ''Selektieren''). This is making VDOS slightly incompatible with AMSDOS and all other AMSDOS clones (except for Also Dobbertin's X-DDOS, which does supports both the english English and germanized dialectsGerman languages).
|SELECT is used to both select user and/or drive. e.g. |SELECT,"3" for user 3, |SELECT,"B" for drive B, |SELECT "4B" for user 4 on drive B. VDOS doesn't have USER or DRIVE commands.
* VDOS will autoboot a file called "HELLO" if it exists on the disc. AMSDOS doesn't have this.
