Subject: CP/M 3.0 and such

One of Digital Resarch's local representatives (they have
a Palo Alto sales office) offered some information about
CP/M 3.0.  Its probably old hat to many, but was
interesting to me.

  - CP/M 3.0 should be released by the end of the year.
  - the primary improvements are in disk file processing
    speed (7 fold improvement suggested)
  - the system is menu oriented and has improved error
    messages and prompts
  - 100% program and file compatibility with CP/M version 2
    was claimed


DR will supposedly soon also release four new graphics products -
two for ISV's and two for end users.

The representative also indicated that DR would have a number
of announcements at Comdex.  He indicated that the announced products
would be very interesting and ready for pretty much immediate
shipment.
