And Gary seems to have copied the command line style (COPY, DEL, etc.) from DEC. I don't think he did anything wrong with that, either.

Gary got first crack at a deal with IBM. He declined it. Bill then stepped in.

I don't see any way Gary was wronged by Bill here.

CP/M didn't have COPY, did it? It used PIP like the DEC mini OSes it was modelled on.

PIP $destination = $source

Yeah, PIP. It's been a while :-/
