Subject: C128 CP/M, CP/M upgrades
We didn't want to announce this prematurely, but for users who
are considering system upgrades...
ZCPR version 3.4 upgrades for BOTH CP/M 2.2 and CP/M 3 (CP/M Plus) are
in final beta-testing and should be available in early April.
The CP/M 3 version is called Z3PLUS. Installation requires no
assembly and minimal configuration. It should run on any
Z80 CP/M 3 computer and has been tested on C128, Morrow MD5 and
WaveMate Bullet.
The CP/M 2.2 auto-install version is new ZCOM, vers. 2.0. It also
requires no assembly and has been tested on a good variety of
computers.
All system files containing code are relocatable and most are directly
interchangable between different systems, and between cp/m 2 and cp/m 3,
regardless of system addresses. System sizes can be changed
"on the fly" to maximize tpa when required. Most Z utilities will
run on both cp/m 2 and cp/m 3 systems; some require upgrading
to handle cp/m 3 differences, and that work is in progress.
What is ZCPR ? A Z80 Command Processor Replacement...that has evolved
into a highly integrated, configurable, extensible enhancement of the
CP/M command interface...spawned hundreds of companion utilities...is
the focus of most new CP/M-compatible programming ... for more
documentation see the ZCPR3 and Z33 directories on simtel20.
