Dick,

It has been said that CP/M is not an Operating System, Operating Systems
are supposed to DO things FOR you, not AGAINST you.   Every time I
change a disk, neglect to enter CTRL/C, and get killed, I tend to agree
with the above.  (-:

Well, CP/M-86 is the most powerful version, and if you can find a copy:
MP/M, CCP/M, and CP/M+ (8085) are out there for the Z-100 as well.

I have converted any and all CP/M desired software over to MS-DOS, which
wasn't much.  The HUG ZCPM package converts most all (even SWEEP) CP/M-85
programs to MS-DOS by shelling it in a CP/M emulator and calling the
8085 processor.   Last I used it, it worked quite well.

ZCPR, I am told, only works with a Z-80 CPU, hence will not run on the
8085.

CP/M is dead.  CP/M-8-bit is even deader.   All I would ever use it
for is to try out the wealth of CP/M stuff on SIMTEL20.ARPA for 
possible conversion to MS-DOS.
