There are a large number of programs one can get for CP/M at low cost. Often
these have lower performance than UNIX equivelants but for a small company
the limited performance may be better than high price. What I don't understand
is how CP/M could be implimented on an 11. Packages for use under CP/M are
normally distributed as absolute binary how could these run on an 11 unless
there is a co-processor. As a matter of fact I would like a device which
runs under UNIX and implements CP/M as a sub process.
