Try changing directory to PD2:<CPM.C128> and doing a DIR

SIMTEL20 is a TOPS-20 machine (I think - corrections welcome), and the
general layout of a directory is PD2:<DIR.SUBDIR>. You may be able to
CWD to PD2:<CPM> to get a list of the subdirs. Also there are several
upper level directories (The bit before the period), the ones I know
are CPM, and SIGM which are the CP/M and SIG/M archives, but I think
there are ones for MS-DOS, MISC stuff and maybe UNIX.

I've cross posted this to comp.os.cpm, but redirected followups back to
comp.sys.cbm - if there are any CP/M'ers out there that can provide better
(or even correct :-) ) information, it would be very welcome indeed.
