Subject: More on CP/M Plus

CP/M Plus (it has already had a name change! formerly CP/M 3.0) will
be officially announced at Comdex this week according to a friend of
mine at D.R. His comments have also led me to believe that they have had
second thoughts about supporting end-users; the manuals are readable!
(so he claims) and designed for the hacker to be able to bring the
system up without need for valium.

D.R. has also announced a CBBS for supporting their products. I have not
tried it myself yet, but my friend tells me you need a valis serial number
to log in! He also says that their Vax has lost a lot of the older serial
numbers, so don't be all that surprised if you have trouble accessing
the CBBS (I won't even try out my Imsai CP/M 1.3 serial number!)

I get the feeling (maybe its just hope) that D.R. is making a greater
effort to support the CP/M community. I hope so.
