Sorry for the confusion- but we are both right.  There are TWO areas on CIS
where 'update' 128 CP/M material was placed, and you found the wrong one. The
honest-to-gosh latest material is in the CPM SIG (area 3 I think).  The latest
C1571.COM displays a date of 24FEB86, and is the one of which I spoke.  I have
not personally been on Compuserve for a long time- but will try to straighten
out the differences if I can...

The 06DEC85 and 08DEC85 versions of CP/M are virtually identical, and they
*do* represent the lastest released versions of CP/M.  NEWSYS.COM will create
the 06DEC85 version for you- there is no other version of NEWSYS.COM, and
I do not see any more changes at this time.  Of course there is the option
of getting the latest CP/M system via the mail-in card from the manual...
