Subject: Re: ZCPR2 ON APPLE

I have heard of people installing ZCPR2 on Apples.   Someone  ap-
proached  me  at  an ACG-NJ meeting the other day and said he had
and that it ran nicely.  I suspect, however, that  it  is  not  a
full installation.

With all of the options to ZCPR2 at installation time, it is pos-
sible to install it on virtually any Z80-based system.  I recent-
ly installed it on a  Morrow  Design's  MicroDecision  with  200K
floppies.   Morrow  was  willing to provide source to his BIOS on
disk FOR FREE, and, with  this,  it  was  possible  to  implement
external  paths  and  the multiple command line buffer.  The only
noticable difference was that the installed system did  not  have
named  directories  (because it didn't seem to make sense in only
200K, but it was still possible) and redirectable I/O (because of
the limited I/O facilities of the MicroDecision, but again it was
possible).

Hence, after the experience with the MicroDecision, I'd say  that
it  is  possible  to  install ZCPR2 on most any Z80-based system.
The degree of installation is the only question.
