Thanks for the history of DOS, KJC. About bestowing nick names.

In Brazil every one has a nickname from Presidente of the Republic Luis Inciao da Silva "Lula".

Do you know Edson Arantes do Nascimento? No, I guess. He's "Pele".

Gustavo Kuerten Is "Guga". Emerson Fittipaldi "Rato"
And so it goes to a point that when you chose the name of your child you avoid the ones that would give a nickname you don't like!!!!

We are used to it.

>>which was based upon the early DEC operating systems like RSTS<< CPM as far as I remember and it was more like RT11 than RSTS. BUT, all those DEC OS - they ran on machines (imagine!) with memories of 1MB or even more, and CPM had to do with 32kb... Life and HW was not cheap those days...
