VersaCAD was the only commercial program I can remember for p-System. It ran from floppies, or a hard drive that could be set to boot it.

It was a great CAD program, I many ways ahead of AutoCAD in its time. But AutoCAD was written in C, which proved far more popular (and, ultimately, more portable) than UCSD-p.

The first Wizardry[1] was built on the P system.

My dad spent a small fortune buying an IBM PC with 544k of memory and an external Davong hard drive that emulated an enormous floppy drive. He also put UCSD P system on this beast, along with a tecmar graphics master...

I used the p system's editor to write school papers for a long time. It was some weird modal editor; he switched to Dos and turbo pascal after a while...

I got to use this computer for games when he wasn't using it and found that the _wizardry_ save game disks were formatted in UCSD P system format and I could even noodle around with the save games (mostly resulting in the game crashing).
