Are you sure about this?  I just downloaded the C1571 utility from Compuserve,
in the special C128 CPM updates area, on or about 1 July.  The version I
got shows the same behavior described by Frank Prindle...it causes 
everything to lock up just after pressing return after the KayPro IV
message is displayed.  At the same time, I downloaded the NEWSYS.COM
(or whatever it's called) program, and discovered to my disappointment
that it is still the 6 December 1985 version, despite the fact that I
am sure I recall that someone from cbmvax announced that a new, 'final'
release of CP/M is available a short while ago.  On that note, how *will*
that release be distributed?  It would be nice if you could update the
files on CIS.
