Uwe, lets take off the gloves. If you had not posted the program to the net, we would have had a viable product that we could sell and support. Our eventual decision to make the CP/M emulator available as a free program was based on the fact that everyone had it already anyway! A big manual and support will not be available, sorry, but we just can't afford it. -- --->Neil @ Atari ...{hoptoad, lll-lcc, pyramid, imagen, sun}!atari!neil BIX: neilharris CIS: 70007,1135 Delphi: NEILHARRIS GENIE: nharris WELL: neil Atari Corp.
