Now that you mention it, when I was running CP/M 3.0 on a Morrow Micro
Decision with an HD, I seem to recall briefly running something (replacement
BDOS and CCP, or maybe just CCP) which gave a hierarchical file system with
long (well, 32 character) names.  It did some kind of file-name magic to
permit standard CP/M programs to open and close those files.  Name mangling
similar to what you see when you do a DIR on a Windows system.  If you
booted the system into normal CP/M 3, all the files had legal, but
unintelligible, names and there was a file which contained the hierarchical
"file system."

Anyone else remember that?  What it was called or how it worked?
