In a way XINU nicely complements CP/M.
For many years, the controversy raged: Was CP/M really an operating
system, or was it just a program loader? The trouble was that CP/M
merely loaded a file into memory and jumped to it, and little beyond
that.
Well, XINU does most things that operating systems do, *except* load
files into memory. So:
XINU + CP/M == OS
