I wish that Bill Gates had seen it, its method of dealing with the conflict between Unix file names and CPM comnand syntax was much superior to what Microsoft came up with for MS-DOS.
@resuna Yes, but was this before or during Microsoft's 1980s infatuation with Xenix (System 7 UNIX)? Which they sold to SCO (in return for equity) in 1987, IIRC.
@cstross I was still at Berkeley, and this advertisement was in the August 1981 issue of Byte. That's the same month that MS-DOS 1.0 was released, and 2 years before MS-DOS 2.0 with the horrible backslash hack.
