Subject: Why won't CPM Plus work?

       Lauren has been telling us that CPM Plus will cause many problems
when we try to run programs that were written for CPM2.2 if these programs
do any kind of disk i/o.  He claims the reason is that the new BDOS
does the blocking/deblocking in the BDOS and that screws things up.
Why should this screw things up?  Isn't the new BDOS supposed to 
>>LOOK<< like the old 2.2 BDOS as far as the disk I/O routines are
concerned?  Isn't the blocking/deblocking invisible to the user?
From what I have heard from other sources it is exactly this?  I am
being mis-lead?  It all makes very good sense to me, why would D.R.
want to go and stick a knife in there own back?

                                               -Eliot at Mit-DM

P.S. Please don't take offense to this letter Lauren.
