Howdy,

Just started reading comp.os.cpm to see what the current state of CP/M
is.  It doesn't look too far from where I last used it in '86.  I am
interested in using it some more to delevop some code that will run on a
Z80 based controller.

I have used BDS C on systems an undergrad in college.  I thought I could
recompile the libs and stuff so I could generate ROM based code.  I
looked on simtel and they did not have the whole thing.  Anybody know
what ever happened to Leor Zolman?  Or where I can get a copy of BDS C?

I could use a cross-compiler that runs on a PC instead if it could
generate ROM based code.

Any other comments on other Z80 code generating C compilers floating
around would be welcome too.

Hmmmm...  For that matter any info on the licencing status of CP/M would
be welcome as well.  I have a real live legal copy that came with my
Altos a while back, but I gotta wonder if it is PD these days or if
there are any PD clones of it around.  I have Z80mu that I run on my PC
sometimes, but wonder if there is a PD CP/M for Z80 machines around.

Thanx in advance.

P.S. If there is an FAQ for this group, could someone please email it to
me??
