Here is my feedback.  I have used it to transfer stuff to/from a PC
running ZCOMM via a serial cable.  It runs real fast.

1: You need to be able to have it find the overlays on a drive/user area
different than where you keep the .com or your current directory.
The drive and user area could be specified in the overlay?

2: When sending ASCII files from the PC to CP/M, they ended up padded
with up to 127 bytes of junk.  I can't say if this is a bug in ZCOMM
or ZMP.  Perhaps ZMP forgets to add the ctrl-Z?  Sorry, I can't
remember more.  I also don't know the versions of the software.
Mail me if you need more info.
