Well, that's a can of worms. Who invented the concepts? Gary, who invented
CP/M. Who wrote the code? Tim.
I have a video clip of Tim specifically talking about how he modeled it after
CP/M as interviewed in Cringley's Triumph Of The Nerds documentary from 1995.
There's no dispute (at least in 1995) that DOS was modeled after CP/M. The use
of Int 21 is also a clue.
You could make a case that CP/M was modeled after Unix, but we won't go there :-)
