I'm pretty sure C/PM 86 was already a thing. I believe there was even Concurrent CP/M 86, which let you run up to 4 (or more?) virtual sessions concurrently. Light years ahead of MS-DOS but nobody wanted it, so DRI dumbed it down and added MS-DOS compatibility and re-released as DR-DOS (still superior to MS-DOS though).

Does it support flat memory model or its banked like DOS ?

CP/M - because pip just makes more sense than copy.

  It also has an “ed” that will make you miss UNIX’s “ed”. I’ve used it to write programs and it is not fun!

  Wasn't that abbreviation from "pipe"? As in - this is a pipe that you can use to connect terminal to a file, file to a printer... and yes, file to a file (that's cp/copy).

>"Compatible with 386 (and later systems) with 2MB (or more) memory."
Looks good!
An order of magnitude (or two!) less code complexity and less memory hungry than most of 2026's bloated Operating Systems...
Well done!
