Been doing a setup of a virtual Amstrad PCW system under CP/M Box (Joyce has emulation issues) in order to try a game development idea!

Got UIDE working. Got DR Draw installed.

Tonight was exploring the 'delights' of ed under CP/M. If you thought ed under Unix was basic and painful, you've not seen anything yet! Still, sort of getting the hang of it.

Also, it's astounding that around 1989/1990 when I had a PCW not having directories didn't seem a huge issue.

Now at the point where I'm trying to set up a C development environment, directories really would be most welcome

@syllopsium maybe use USER instead?

@GrantMeStrength I am using users, but even with 16 of them it's a tad less convenient than directories and you have to remember/write down what each user is!

Also, I'd have to look this up, but I'm not sure of the syntax (if any) to run a program from one user in another although I do know the g switch to use PIP to copy between users
