Re: CP/M on a PC?

Yes, if:

1) ...you have the source code.  Move the source from your CP/M
machine to your PC, recompile (or, reinterpret) and run;

2) ...you don't have the source and the object code is meant to 
run on an 8085 chip--not a Z80--then you can replace your 8088 in
your PC with a NEC V-20 CPU, buy a piece of software (I don't have
any names right now) to access the 8085 mode of the V-20, and run
your program;

3) ...you don't have the source and the object code is meant to
run on an 8085 chip or a Z80, or your 8088 is soldered on to
your motherboard.  Buy a piece of software to emulate CP/M on a
PC running DOS.  I found an ad on p.364 of the August BYTE:
Source Information, P.O. Box 2974, Warminster, PA 18974, (215)
441-8178.  Check 'em out.

Good luck,
