Relayed from GEnie's CP/M RoundTable in hopes that Commodore is listening.

Well, people, I'm at wits end from trying to get the new CP/M SYS (May'87)
1581 disk out of CBM.  Its been 3 1/2 months, 2 letters, about 8 notes on
CIS, and mucho phone calls to CBM in PA and N.Y..  Although they have
're-found' my order, and I still have my cancelled check, they (CBM)
now say that they are out of stock and can not give me a shipping date.

Customer Relations has suggested that I contact Digital direct or get a
pirated copy.  Digital won't sell me one, even if I tried to  locate
Digital's part number.

If I just used the '81 for pleasure I could be patient, but I use dBase and
W* for work.  The '81 .com files that I have downloaded from GEnie have
allowed me to utilize the CP/M features of the '81 but it sometimes crashes
and I lose data (I have about 2-3 Megs).  Can anyone out there help me deal
with this problem before I go clone?

Note from Keith:  I can't believe that CBM's customer relations would recommend
getting a pirated copy.  CBM, you should find out who said that and have a
good talk with them.  Better yet, get some copies of this software in stock
and quit making people wait!
