     Thanks but I figured that out from the source code listings.

   Correct. The command processor and utilities are *MUCH* better than
those in CP/M. The difference is like night and day!

   ????? I don't understand this comment. Or at least I hope I don't. ZCPR
isn't a GUI. It's nothing like Windozes, it's a MUCH better command line
interface.

    I can't say that I've ever heard of them.

  BTW one of my current projects uses MP/M. CP/M is childs play compared
to it! The hardwre isn't that much more complicated but the operating
system is MUCH more complex.
