A silly joke? Probably. In > fact, > I see it still exists in Win2k Click Start->Run...debug I had a good long think about it last night, after finding the site and copying the files. It's _not_ _quite_ the same thing as a native Linux JCL, DCL or cmd.exe, let alone a CPMesque COMMAND.COM. It should make a very good teaching tool - an interpreter for ASM, for those who are scared of Assembler. And if it's small enough, and fast enough, it should fit the embedded sphere quite nicely. > > BTW, that web site is a gem.
