I got a polite but firm request NOT to post CP/M source or binaries to comp.os.cpm, and there are no other CP/M related newsgroups in the UUCP world. As so often happens, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is up to: internet / arpanet / bitnet may well have these forums, BUT IN THE UUCP WORLD WE HAVE NOTHING. As a result I have had to mail out innumerate copies of a pair of shars one 68K and one 88K, cause in UUCP land we have nothing. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Mr. Moody, reconsider and allow CP/M binaries / source so that we CP/M'ers in UUCP land have something. -- dg@lakart.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ | +-+-+ ....... !harvard!adelie!cfisun!lakart!dg +-+-+ | +---+
