				 $WW,1$$FG,5$$TX+CX,"ZenithOS' Features"$$FG$

* $FG,4$$TX,"x86_64",HTML="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64#AMD64"$$FG$, ring-0-only, single-address-map (identity), multitasking kernel with multicore support.

* Master/Slave MultiCore

* Free, $FG,2$public domain$FG$, $FG,2$100% open source$FG$.

* 64-bit $FG,2$compiler/assembler$FG$ for $LK,"CosmiC",A="FI:::/Doc/CosmiC.DD"$.	Truly compiles, doesn't interpret.	$FG,2$Just-in-Time$FG$ and $FG,2$Ahead-of-Time$FG$ compilation.  With $FG,2$JIT$FG$, no need for object or exe files.

* No 32-bit krufty code.

* 32-bit color $FG,2$high-res VBE$FG$ graphics.

* Keyboard & Mouse support.

* ATA PIO Hard drives, support for $FG,2$FAT32$FG$ and $LK,"RedSea",A="FI:::/Doc/RedSea.DD"$ file systems with file compression.

* ATAPI PIO $FG,2$CD/DVD$FG$ support with $FG,2$RedSea$FG$ file system.  Can make bootable ISO files so you can roll-your-own distro's.

* $LK,"Partitioning",A="MN:DiskPart"$ tool, installer, $FG,2$boot loaders$FG$ for CD/DVD and hard disk.

* $FG,2$Editor/Browser$FG$ for a new $LK,"Document Format",A="FI:::/Doc/DolDocOverview.DD"$.	Source files and the command line window can have graphics, links, icons, trees, colors, super/sub scripts, margins.	Everything is seamless through-out the tool chain.	No need for separate resource files.

* 8-bit $FG,2$ASCII$FG$, not just 7-bit.	Supported in entire tool chain.  $FG,2$<CTRL-ALT-a>$FG$

* $FG,2$Graphics in source code$FG$, no resource files, $FG,2$graphic sprite editor$FG$. $FG,2$<CTRL-r>$FG$

* $FG,2$64-bit pointers$FG$.	All memory, even more than 4Gig, can be directly accessed by all tasks on all cores at all times.

* $FG,2$Ring-0-only$FG$.	Highest CPU privileged mode at all times.  No off-limits insts.  No time lost changing modes or address maps.  Switches tasks in half a microsecond.

* $FG,2$2D/3D$FG$ graphics library

* Real-time fancy $FG,2$differential-equation solver$FG$ for physics engines, to use in games.	(Adaptive step-size Runge-Kutta, interpolated for real-time.)

* Auto-completion, jump-to-source tool called $FG,2$AutoComplete$FG$ with Dictionary.

* Window Manager.  Pan screen with $FG,2$<CTRL-LeftDrag>$FG$.  Zoom screen on mouse cursor with $FG,2$<CTRL-ALT-z>$FG$/$FG,2$<CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-Z>$FG$.

* File Manager, $FG,2$<CTRL-d>$FG$.

* Code $LK,"profiler",A="MN:Prof"$, $LK,"merge",A="MN:Merge"$, $LK,"diff",A="MN:Diff"$ utils.

* $FG,2$PC Speaker$FG$ support with many songs.

* Music composing tool.

* Word divination with $FG,2$<F7>$FG$.

* Many games, $LK,"demos",A="FI:::/Doc/DemoIndex.DD"$ and $LK,"documentation",A="FI:::/Doc/HelpIndex.DD"$.

* $FG,2$All source code$FG$ included.  Only compiles with the included ZenithOS compiler and assembler.
