I ran his OS-9 Level 2 BBS -- that's what got me in to OS-9 originally, I think.
No recursive built in to normal OS-9 tools? I guess I spent too much time with OSK/OS-9000.
I wasn't thinking of doing this for OS-9 files, since I expected there were already tools for finding duplicates, etc. and you can just dump everything on a hard drive image (as opposed to having 300 floppies of OS-9 software).
