Subject: vt100 emulation/hard drives/ communications

Terminal Software:

Could anyone recommend the best terminal/comunications/transfer package to
use with a Kaypro 4/84 cp/m machine?  I'm looking for:

       1. vt100 emulation
       2. some standard transfer protocols (ie. kermit, Xmodem)
       3. some good ones (ie. Zmodem)
       4. macros would be good.
       5. auto login capabilities, perhaps.
If anyone knows of such a wonder package for the Kaypro or cp/m in general,
could you please mail me info on how/where to get it.  If there is none, how
about some info on how I would go about writing my own; such as some good 
books.  Is vt100 even possible for the Kaypro 4?


Hard Drives:

I am also looking to put a hard drive inside that sherman tank of a case.  How 
do I go about doing this?  Are there any good books I could read? Where do I 
start?  (I have a 20meg from an ibm compatible...any good?)


Compilers:

I would like to hear about the compilers available and how they fair.  I want
a C compiler for my machine...what should I get?  And most importantly,
how and where?  And how much$$!  $-)  It looks like I'm going to have to be 
using modula-2 for some courses, so I'm also interested in hearing about them
as well.  

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.  Please reply by mail to:
mjarvis@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU  and I will summerize.
