Hi Eric,
Hum, I wonder where Gary got his ideas? Didn't he use a DEC PDP-nn for his initial
PL/M compiler to get the first CP/M built in the first place? I'd like to find out
more about TOPS-10, OS-8 and RT-11.
Very interesting indeed!

And if you'd read about DEC operating systems, you'd have thought that CP/M looks
like TOPS-10, OS-8, and RT-11, though not quite
as "EXACTLY" as MS-DOS looks like CP/M.
