This is evil. I love it.

I once pranked my boss by renaming the internal DOS command “dir” to “duh” on his PC. I loved watching him type in “dir” and getting “Bad Command or Filename”.

My old and unreliable memory thinks that TOS (the ST DOS) was modeled after DOS as far as interrupt calls and whatnot to make it easier for devs. I know the disk format was the same, though DOS wouldn’t read the ST disk unless it had a DOS boot sector on it. ST didn’t care.
