If there isn't a dot, how can it be one? I think the OS I used with a cd command which could walk down, but walking "up" was a cd to root and a walk down -1 also fell out of favour. The only thing I remember doing on the apollo domain workstations was tuning their sendmail config. nobody ran commands on it, nobody could reliably compile. HP and its HP compatibility library. and the really badly written BSD compatibility layer. oddly, OSF/1 and RS/6000 AIX both survived. maybe you can have enough lipstick on a pig. reboot to re-apply bindings. well i *guess* that works, but gee, was it really so hard to move shared library through some staging process? and having to boot into a mini OS to do filesystem repairs. please. none of these things were fatal but somehow all of these things were.
