Subject: Re: MPM vs. CPM

The SW.CMD file, which MPM-816 invokes to run 8 bit applications may
run on a non-MP/M system. I am really not sure. The MP/M system I fiddle
with is at NYU; I purchased CP/M-816 for use at home (how about that, I
didn't even do any pirating!)

I don't think that there is a simple way to change the size of the
cache that MPM-816 uses. As for the new version, all I know thus far is
that there will be a USER.CMD which can be passworded (thank goodness) rather
than an intrinsic USER command, and that inter-terminal communication in
real time will be supported. I assume there are more substantive changes,
but I don't know what they are. The upgrade costs $75 ti registered G&G
(NOT COMPUPRO) MPM-816 users.
