Yes, I remember both CP/M-86 and MP/M-86; | I ran them on my Amiga under the emulater. I ran the CP/M-80 on | my Timex Sinclair Z80, and the Z80 cartridge for my C-64 and Z80 | emulators in a lot of places (I still have Nevada COBOL and Nevada | FORTRAN on floppy, as well as the Z80 Aztec C compiler). This is hard to believe. I remember making fun of my cousin with his Timex Sinclair, because my C64 was so much cooler. The very first program I bought for it (on cassette, of course) was SuperMon64, a ML monitor. I never got the Z80 cartridge. Then I moved on to an Amiga 1000, and promptly bought the Aztec Manx C compiler. I never did figure out how to read all of those man pages that came with the Fred Fish disks. :-) jonathon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
