Subject: CP/M versions
As a newcomer to the CP/M public domain scene, I am bemused by
the apparent number of versions of the CP/M operating system
around. Those I have come across (many in the Simtel archives)
include CP/M, CP/M 80, CP/M 86, CP/M concurrent, CP/M 68K and
CP/M Plus, not to mention CP/M versions 1.4, 2.0, 2.2 and 3.0. I
believe all were put out by Digital Research? I am using an
Amstrad PCW8512, which is supplied with CP/M Plus. I gather this
is the same as v.3.0, although not entirely compatible with
earlier versions? Can anyone perhaps explain the origin of all
these CP/M's, and advise me which versions are compatible with my
CP/M Plus?
Any replies to the list, please, or direct to the following address,
marked "Re: CP/M" in Subject: field. Thanks, David.
