     It doesn't look better once you put both of them side by side and
compare features.

     You haven't seen any discussion of ConIX for the simple fact that it
isn't worth much.  It adds a whole *bunch* of resident commands, but that's
about it.  It allows I/O re-direction, but it will only work with its own
programs.  ZCPR3 is much better.

     The BDOS replacement you are thinking of ( I think ) is SUPRBDOS.  It
came originally from the Netherlands... then it was known as P2DOS.  Very
nice bit of programming.  Much like ZRDOS... detects changed disks and
re-loggs them, fixes the delete key, increases the max. file size to
8 Gbytes, etc.  Also allows time/date stamping, if you have a clock.
