Spectranext 0.9 is now available. This release makes the system more useful out of the box while opening it up to more existing Spectrum software.
One of the most useful ways to make Spectranext easier to adopt is to support the tools people already use. That is why esxDOS-compatible dot-command support is being implemented.
The goal is not to reimplement esxDOS, or to replace Spectranext's virtual filesystem.
It is to let a familiar .dot utility run, make its usual calls, and see the files supplied by Spectranext:
the RAM and flash overlay, ROM filesystem, network mounts, and the rest of the VFS.
