Abstract
A new operating system interface based on the langauge Ada is described: the Ada Virtual Operating System (AVOS). Its goal is to provide a completely uniform user interface. All operating system commands and programs are expressed in Ada, and Ada is shown to provide sufficient expressive power to allow conventional operating system entities such as files and directories to be expressed in Ada terms.
