Yeah, and it WAS a good enough course to prevent me from even bothering, and I
have complete, original source and put-it-together tools, not a disassembly.

Why don't you go out, buy a copy of LS-DOS or LDOS, buy DiskDisk,
and write a ECI that emulates csh and uses DiskDisk to emulate a multi-level
directory?  Or re-write one of those operating systems?
Why on earth would anyone want to start with 1.3, the operating system
that doesn't (and can't) know about double-sided floppies, or hard disks,
and writes on track 0 when it doesn't know what to do next? 
Perhaps this is the origin of the message: Abort, Retry, or Destroy?
(Yes, it isn't that bad.... but it's close.)  

I didn't write TRSDOS 1.x, but I used to write patches for it.

LS-DOS is a trademark of Logical Systems Inc.
LDOS was a trademark of Logical Systems, but is now owned by Misosys.
DiskDisk is sold by Misosys but its trademark is owned by Logical Systems Inc.
Am I going too slow for you?
