Subject: ZCPR3 Status

        For those of you who are  interested,  I'll  probably  be
sending  out  a  status  report  on  the development of the ZCPR3
System sometime over the next few days.   The  system  is  coming
along  quite  nicely,  with  the  ZCPR3 Command Processor running
without error and the three supporting libraries, SYSLIB 3, VLIB,
and  Z3LIB, almost complete.  I expect all of the ZCPR3 utilities
to come up very quickly after I polish off Z3LIB, which is  still
under major development.

        I'll be giving two talks over the next two months on  the
topic  of  ZCPR3  if  you are interested in attending.  The first
talk is later today at the SIG/M meeting.  The talk will be given
in  the  Health  Building at Union County College, Scotch Plains,
NJ, starting around 8PM tonight (Friday, Mar 2).

        The second talk will be given  at  the  Trenton  Computer
Festival  on  Saturday,  April 14.  It is currently scheduled for
11:00 AM.  Details on the room will be available in the  Festival
program.   I'm hoping to include a live demonstration during this
talk, but there are no guarantees at this time.

        Sometime during later  March  or  early  April,  I'll  be
bringing  a  ZCPR3  system designed for remote access online on a
limited-time basis for those who are interested in spending  some
money  on  a  phone  call  and  trying out ZCPR3 in real-time and
exploring what it can do.  More details on this when  the  system
comes up.

        I'm still not willing to pinpoint a date for the  release
of  ZCPR3, but I strongly suspect that it will go out sometime in
the next three months.  Will let you know when it happens.
