No Terminal window under macOS 11.2.3

[snakebyte69]

Not sure if this version is mean to run under macOS Big Sur version 11.2.3

The program launches but doesn't create a window for the CP/M environment.

Apologies, this is probably just a question of sloppy, outdated design.

This project currently doesn't offer a CP/M command line, my thinking back at inception being that the main purpose of the command line being to navigate a drive and to copy/move/delete files that it was duplicative of the Finder. So the intention is that you use the Finder and sometimes launch CP/M software by double clicking a .com file, just like you'd launch native macOS software by double clicking an application bundle.

What it also doesn't do is explain itself, or offer any sort of aid to somebody that launches the application bare. That's a mistake I think.

My intention was to find a replacement CCP (i.e. CP/M command line) that is public domain and will run without modification, include that in the application bundle and offer it for launch via File -> New..., along with the necessary hook to exit CP/M software back into it, but I've yet to do so.

I'll try to pull my finger out and get on with it.

Another problem this lack of CCP raises is using software that requires an argument to launch, such as the installer (setup) program for the VDE text editor.
