Data Processing Systems Lines: 22 Just to throw my own 2d in, if you are looking for term programs for CP/M that you can readily find source to, you might want to try Kermit. I know the source is availabe, that is how it is distributed. I have the 4.0 source, and I have modified it to work with some of my stranger machines, so it is VERY flexible that way. The only problem I can see, and this applies for most of the other programs too, I think, is that most of the CP/M programs that I am familiar with don't maintain the strict segregation of code and data space that is essential if you are going to run the prog off of the ROM. You may be forced to move the entire routine to RAM as part of your startup, and then page the ROM out. The only other alternative is going through hundreds of K of assembler source trying to movde all of the data stores to wherever in your memory map you have some RAM, not my idea of fun.
