Home or Username Directories
To provide personal workspace for users, create home or username directories.
You can create a parent directory in volume SYS: called HOME or USERS.
Or, you can create a separate HOME or USERS volume. Then you can create
a subdirectory for each user.
The name of each subdirectory should be the username. Usernames can be up
to 47 characters, but DOS displays only 8 characters in a one-level directory
name. The following figure shows this type of directory structure.
