Hmmmm, that standard command interface implementation (how's that for
buzzwords?) reminds me of the Micropolis DOS for micros.  It had something
similar - a small library of functions that it used to parse commands
and that were available to the programmer.  Awful syntax - the filenames
had to be in quotes, numbers were always hex, etc - but it was so easy
to use that I never got motivated to write my own parser for commands

ps overall, MDOS is one of the worst software systems ever inflicted
by humans on other humans...
