A couple of small changes I'd like to see are: 1. The syntax of 'save' reversed, so it'd be consistent with the rest of OS-9. I can't see a good reason to do it 'backwards'. 2. 'dir e' doesn't give the date. Why it bothers with the time without the date is surprising. When I pipe it to the printer for a record, I end up having to date them by hand. 3. On the Color Computer version 1.00.00 you could call in with any combination of terminal settings (8 bit no parity, 7 bit even, 7 bit odd) and everything was fine for login and entering commands. Now with 1.01.00, I have to come in with 8 bit. This is frustrating. One computer I use doesn't have 8 bit no parity. What happened to the filtered input? 4. /t2 on the Color Computer should have automatic switching for 300/1200 and maybe 2400 baud rates (at least optional). I guess that's Tandy's problem?
