Subject: ZCPR3 under MP/M

     Will a Z-System run under MP/M?  I don't know enough about MP/M to
answer this question, and I had been hoping that in the past few days since
this question was posed to me someone who knows something about MP/M would
jump in and answer it.
 
     If MP/M uses individual command processors that run just under the
BDOS, then there is a chance that they can be replaced by a ZCPR3 command
processor.  If the MP/M command processor has extra functions related to the
multitasking, then the answer is likely to be no.  I am quite sure that
ZRDOS cannot be substituted for the MP/M BDOS, since the latter supports
functions not found in the standard BDOS.
 
     My completely uneducated answer is 'no,' but I hope someone will prove
me wrong!
