And then of course there's "UZI", which is an acronym for "Unix Z80
Implementation" if I'm remembering right. It took 32 of your 64K for the OS,
and gave you some basic shell commands, though it's been so long since I've
looked at it I'm fuzzy on details beyond that point...

Except, in UNIX, one can have a completely *valid*
filename with
slashes in it. Or almost any other character in the system
character-set really.
Why all this talk about U**X? CP/M allows pretty much anything in a
filename. I'm particularly fond of the file names with backspaces
and carriage return-linefeed pairs in them.
