It is an auto_relocatable program, loaded and started at 0x0100 but, after relocation, running under the BDOS of the host CP/M system. CCP (part of CP/M) is replaced by MCP and MCP offers more commands and features. All 6 commands (DIR, REN, ERA, TYPE USER and SAVE) are preserved with the same functionality. More commands and functionality is available. A new feature is that MCP allows to develop and take care of a program, the ".MCP" program / script. The ".MCP" program (exammple: MYPROG.MCP) can be developed, saved onto disk as a file, loaded and run by the MCP interpreter. My desire it was to present MCP to Dr. Kildall in 1985...1987. But it was not possible. Mircea Mirea Bucharest Hello,
