Its been 3 1/2 months, 2 letters, about 8 notes on CIS, and mucho phone calls to CBM in PA and N.Y.. Although they have 're-found' my order, and I still have my cancelled check, they (CBM) now say that they are out of stock and can not give me a shipping date. Customer Relations has suggested that I contact Digital direct or get a pirated copy. Digital won't sell me one, even if I tried to locate Digital's part number. If I just used the '81 for pleasure I could be patient, but I use dBase and W* for work. The '81 .com files that I have downloaded from GEnie have allowed me to utilize the CP/M features of the '81 but it sometimes crashes and I lose data (I have about 2-3 Megs). Can anyone out there help me deal with this problem before I go clone? ---end forwarded message--- Note from Keith: I can't believe that CBM's customer relations would recommend getting a pirated copy. CBM, you should find out who said that and have a good talk with them. Better yet, get some copies of this software in stock and quit making people wait! --Keith Petersen Info-Cpm mailing list maintainer Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA Uucp: {decwrl,harvard,lll-crg,ucbvax,uunet,uw-beaver}!simtel20.arpa!w8sdz GEnie: W8SDZ RCP/M Royal Oak: 313-759-6569 - 300, 1200, 2400 (V.22bis) or 9600 (USR HST)
