	I have CP/M 86 running with my dual processor 8085/8088;
the program came from Godbout and runs as it came (my system
uses all Godbout stuff, Interfacers and system support board);
it automatically checks memory size.  I know little about it; I
am getting my own copy shortly (I have an older one I never
used) and meanwhile am running with one from a chap from
elsewhere (I'll errase it when my own comes; but I needed to
check the operation of the 8087 board; on that more later).

	The CP/M 86 from CompuPro worked for me without any
reassembly at all; I suppose I could dig out ACT if I had to but
there was not need.  Is it normal to have to reassamble to get
working?  Or are there special things you need to do?  I agrtee
one ought to have one's BIOS source, and I expect I'd be unhappy
if I had to buy a special assembler just to work with my own...
