	You can obtain the Z System software and documentation from:

		Echelon, Inc.
		885 N. San Antonio Road
		Los Altos, CA  94022
		415/948-3820

	Echelon offers three books and a biweekly newsletter on the subject.
The books are:
		1. ZCPR3: The Manual - a comprehensive tech manual on
the system, describing the release version of the system in much detail
		2. ZCPR3: The Libraries - a comprehensive ref manual on
the reusable software components libraries Z3LIB, SYSLIB, and VLIB
		3. Z System User's Guide - a very easy-to-read overview
of the Z System and its capabilities

	There is also a new document, Z-Index, which is a comprehensive
index to the newsletters.

	Echelon also offers an array of Z System-specific commercial products,
including editors, debuggers, assemblers, compilers, data base tools,
communications programs, and a spreadsheet.

	There are Z-Nodes all over the world that you can dial into to
access Z System software and some RCP/M systems also carry it.  There
is also ZSIG, the Z System User's Group, which publishes its own newsletter
and users disks.  The ZSYS archive on SIMTEL20 contains both Z System and
ZSIG software.  There have also been many magazine articles published on the
Z System in Byte, Computer Language, Micro/Systems Journal, Dr Dobbs,
and many manufacturer-specific magazines, such as Heath.
Several distributers and OEMs carry the system, including one in France.

	As a bottom line, I recommend contacting Echelon with your questions,
and they can send you more information.
