I'd have two floppies.

Any opinions of what I should distribute with the emulator? Here is what
I
am planning on so far:

STAT
PIP
ASM
MAC
DDT
ED
DUMP
LOAD
SUBMIT
XSUB


How about a decent editor?

since


None of those are very meaningful for an emulator.

>Although there are lots of replacement programs for those listed above
that
are undoubtedly better than the stock CP/M 2.2 programs, I am going to
use
the originals from D.R. and leave it up to any user who cares enough to
customize it as they see fit.


Why? will the emulator provide a way to create a new disk drive?
