Just stumbled on this completely by accident:

Looks interesting, although sadly it appears to be closed-source. Some of the apps are very well presented, but I'm not sure how much functionality there is underneath the surface.

O.K. Some info:

Original (Polish): ""System operacyjny", a właściwie to loader programów w Turbo-Basicu XL. Może również służyć do wczytywania programów napisanych w Atari Basic. W takim przypadku należy liczyć się ze zmianą prędkości wykonywania programu (TBXL jest szybszy). Programy przeznaczone do uruchomienie muszą mieć rozszerzenie .PRG i muszą być zabezpieczone przed kasowaniem.

pomoc:

Program rozpoznaje tylko stację dysków numer jeden. Ikony stacji numer dwa i kosza, to tylko żart."

Short translate by me (sorry for my english):

"Operating System", rightly only loader for Turbo Basic XL programs. You can use it to load Atari Basic programs too, but remember - programs in AB may be faster (TB XL is faster then AB). All programs to run must have .PRG extension and must be protected.

Program knows only disk drive 1. Trash and other icons are only joke."

So, this is only loader for Basic programs (sorry), but useful.

I ran that through Google Translate earlier on. I emailed Larek and explained that I was impressed by the UI of his applications. If you give SupGen2000 a try, you'll see what I mean. The system has just the kind of stripped-down interface which I think would be ideal for an 8-bit GUI, and there are some pretty nice touches. He's put some nice applications together which share the same "look and feel", which is often where systems like this are lacking.

is fairly useless actually, but it looks cool.

Well, with the font editor you can design fonts. But yes - it's form over function in this case. A useful system with the same interface would be very nice.
