Subject: MARC
Hello,
My name is Jay Phillips. I work for Hewlett Packard's Personal
Computer Division in Corvallis, Oregon. I've been a CP/M hacker for
several years and a UNIX hacker more recently. I was also responsible
for the software portion of HP's CP/M system for the HP86 and 87 computers.
I have been following with great interest the news traffic about MARC.
I was wondering if there is any way for me to get a copy of it, possibly
as a test site. I would like to bring MARC up on our CP/M system (it is
a Z80 card which plugs into the HP86 or 87 mainframe, similar to the apple
Z80 softcard. A large majority of our customers are technical/engineer
types and I feel that there would be a good demand for MARC running on our
machines.
Please send me a note letting me know what you think about this.
My UUCP address is below.
Thanks much.

P.S. If you are familiar with Berkeley UNIX you no doubt are aware of
a massive game called Rogue. We were intrigued by it here and
have been working on a version written in BDS C for CP/M. It's
roughly 90% done. Unfortunately, I can't convince my boss to
fund it as a project so it only gets worked on in my spare time.
I would also like to bring it up under MARC.
Jay
P.P.S.
If U.S. Snail or telephone is more convenient, the particulars
follow.
