On July 21, 1986, the last version of this environment that was still called Cortland Programmer's Workshop was delivered to Apple for shipment to the developer community. Later versions were called Apple Programmer's Workshop, or just APW... 489:...Apple Computer last week introduced a new operating system for the Apple IIGS,.....The new GS/OS operating system for the Apple IIGS has an enhanced, more Mac-like Finder and speeds up booting......includes support for large storage devices, up to 4 gigabytes...GS/OS runs programs written for the earlier operating systems, Pro-Dos 16 and Pro-Dos 8... 331:

GS/OS includes a facility known as file system translators (FSTs) which allows it to support multiple on-disk file systems in a manner transparent to application programs and to the user, a feature not found in ProDOS or most other microcomputer operating systems at the time. While GS/OS natively
