Subject: C128 CP/M

Since I didn't get any response from E-mailing directly, I'm
assuming the mail never got there, so I'm posting here instead.
(I don't understand E-mail...I just try to use it.)

In response to Don's (DON@VAX1.ACS.UDEL.EDU) question about
C128 CP/M:

I haven't used CP/M on my 128 much, either, but maybe I can give
you a little help.

The C128 CP/M will run most Z80 CP/M software, except for the
machine-specific programs.  The control characters that it
uses for screen formatting is the same as ADM31 terminals, which
I think is what Kaypro uses. (The C-128 Programmer's Reference
Manual has more info on that.)  Getting the programs is more
difficult.  If you wish to download via modem, you need a terminal
program that runs under CP/M, and the newer version of CP/M that
supports RS-232.  Otherwise, some sort of conversion program is needed.
Another possibility is getting disks from places such as
the Pubic Domain Users Group.  If you have the 1571 drive, you can read
other CP/M formats, which makes getting software easier.
