[Coco] wdir command?

[Bill Pierce]

Christopher, the 'odd' tmode is now the standard distributed with NitrOS9.
If you haven't tried NitrOS9, you need to. The latest build is the most stable build of OS9 I've ever seen. I use it every day for NitrOS9 software developement, so I run it through the gauntlet every day.

Thanks, Bill. Can’t recall how I would’ve gotten ahold of it. Most of my time running OS-9 as my main OS would’ve been about 1987-1993 or thereabouts. I’ll need to double-check, but I think one of my disks that boots as OS-9 Lvl II also has the different tmode with the parameters as, e.g. “pau=1” rather than “pause”. An odd mix.

The story I remember is Frank Hogg gave us a copy of Level 2 for the TC-9, at time of sale, that happened to contain portions of the upgrade by accident.  We didn’t discover this until we started disassembly of the TC-9 core vs the CC3.

Found this info referencing a “GEnie” archive, which seems to have been lost? It would’ve contained the Basic09 source for this command.
