Subject: CP/M vs. Unix

Maybe this message clarifies better:

As you know, they are two entirely different worlds. CP/M was written
as a very simple system which lets a single user talk to his small
(micro) computer.  UNIX was written for use on DEC minicomputers,
which are much larger than any micro, and permits multi-tasking,
multi-user operation of a type that CP/M could never handle.  CP/M is
a single-user operating system.  To compare them is like comparing a
Volkswagen to a MACK truck.  Each of them has its uses, but they're
simply two different breeds of  cat.

I am willing to open my ear if there is such a system that CP/M can be
"multi-" system.
