We have found two software products useful. We purchased MultiMedia, a utility which permits one drive of an MSDOS system to be configured into one of about 60 diffent systems including about 20 CPM systems. (Apple not included). We also use the public domain software from SIMTEL20 which permits the Emulation of an 8080 on the MSDOS system. Not all CPM programs are compatible. Our favorite, NewSweep, has sone non-standard calls to bdos and will not work. Many do. I have mixed emotions about MSDOS, as the CPM world did most of the things which I required on a daily basis. and as someone else has said, Anyone can make a computer dance with a meg of memory. Real programmers do it in 8 bits. LONG LIVE CPM. John
