: Actually, GEOS is ProDOS compatible, at least in the sense that
: Catalyst, MouseDesk, and Apple II Desktop are.  GEOS can
: act as a program launcher for ProDOS programs.  Obviously,
: for GEOS programs, GEOS acts like the full OS (much like
: GS/OS on the IIGS and MacOS on the Mac, actually), but it can
: do everything MouseDesk can do in regards to launching ProDOS
: programs.

: I hope this info makes it into the FAQ.

While GEOS files are unique type, you can also "import" a variety of 
files into GEOS -- appleworks, wordperfect, multiscribe. There is even 
laserwriter support.
