my first look at DRDOS 6.0 and its graphical interface VIEWMAX.

It looks and feels a bit like windows 2 or 3.

I don't hate it but it has the same problem as windows: It tries to be a graphical user interface for a terminal

Aha! Found it! I'd been looking for this. Recommended once by YouTube, and then lost.

… on GEM
… on DR-DOS
… on an 8086 PC emulator
… on a Raspberry Pi
… running as a second processor using a BBC Master 128 for I/O.

There's a follow-up re-hash video by @WiFiSheep that explains the tokenization problem with the CIRCLE statement.
