                      ========================

It's official!

MYZ80 version 1.03 is released today.


Apart from some minor fixes that a few users required, the really big deal
about
version 1.03 is the completely new keyboard support.

You can now redefine virtually any key on the keyboard, even in the middle of
running your favourite piece of CP/M software!



Very soon (and I'll let you all know about it here) MYZ80 version 1.03 will be
available for file request at V32 (9600 baud) speed from 3:640/208. The file is
75k in size and will also appear soon at many other BBSes around the world
(depending a lot on where YOU upload it to!). Available from Z-Node 62 in Perth
from this Sunday (18th) (+61 9 450 0200 - 2400 baud, 24 hours a day). Available
direct from my computer at v32bis (14400 baud) by prior arrangement (netmail me
about this). Available in New Zealand from +64 4 478 3117 at v32bis (14400
baud).


Please note also that my new point address is 3:640/208.3 and I'm always happy
to talk to you via netmail about MYZ80.


--- MYZ80 version 1.03 features over version 1.02: ---
* Upgraded, improved, faster utilities.
* Superb keyboard redefinition system.
* A few minor fixes.
* Complete and up-to-date MYZ80 API information.
* Support for DOS interrupt 14h (to allow for the use of a FOSSIL communications
driver).
* Some new API functions.
* Support for the undocumented Z80 instructions (registered version only).
* The correct ZPM3/CPM 3.0 files to allow you to run CP/M 3.0 on MYZ80.


Thousands and thousands more CP/M 2.2 and CP/M 3.0 capable computers have just
been born, thanks to MYZ80!

--- release announcement ends ---

I've got ZPM3 working now in my system, and got Z3PLUS going too.  The
API document looks to be very very useful, and the FOSSIL support should
prove useful for running a RCPM on a DOS machine (a FOSSIL provides
reasonable, buffered, serial IO for a DOS machine).  The new keyboard
support is amazing - a pop up window which can redefine any key
combination at any time.

Those people who emailed me about the previous version of MyZ80 can
retrieve the new version from the same place as MYZ80103.ZIP.  I
request, again, that you upload it to other FTP sites around the world.
To everyone else please be patient and wait until it arrives on FTP
sites around the world, as FTP to New Zealand is both slow and also
costs real money to NZ sites.  Thank you for your patience.
