If you have the time Allan, write a shell.
The only good thing about the devkit COMMAND.TOS is that it lists hidden files.
If your shell is as good as Gulam, I'll be first in line for it. That and db.

Jwarr Bammi was saying a long time back that a new Gulam was in the pipeline.
I think he mentioned a 'reset' command which would save your history and reset
the machine. 'reset -c' would do a cold reset.

On a completely different note. I am not sure I want to reclaim the last two
clusters on a floppy disk any more, using a previously described trick.
If a disks boot sector says it has 1604 sectors and the last two clusters are
marked bad then I guess the drag A to B in TOS 1.4 will still try to copy track
80, which we now all know to be a no-no.
