Jim,

You might try to get in touch with the folks at Echelon.  They are VERY
GUN HO about the CP/M 8-bit world and would be much more receptive to
any comments/suggestions you have.  They are now selling a BDOS replacement
so one might consider completely dumping DRI altogether.  I talked with
the Dallas DRI rep a few months ago about some new CP/M-80 software and
he wasn't interested at all - "CP/M is dead" was about all he could say.
What I would like to have told that guy is that "DRI is dead" because
they abandoned the CP/M market they ruled and they can't begin to compete
with Microsoft/IBM in the 808x world.

John.
