[net.micro.cpm] ZCPR2/3 - PLOTLIB/FXYLIB

pjt@astrovax.UUCP (Peter J. Teuben) (03/15/86)

I am in Princeton (NJ) for a few months and had to leave my (1984) Kaypro IV
back in Holland. 

Questions:
   o    Anyone implemented ZCPR3 for Kaypro (-IV), I have a running ZCPR2, with
	some modified features. Source available on diskette.
	I have a '1984/5' source of ZCPR3 (in Holland), but we seem to be 
	missing new updates?
   o    Anyone knows any hardware and/or software enhancements to implements
	a RAM disk. I am currently working on a 128k-RAM disk, I even have
	a print (as published in the German MC-journal), but don't know
	yet how (or even if) to put it physically in the Kaypro.
	Anyone experience ? Or have commercial prints for Z-80 systems?

'Offers':
    o   ZCPR2 for Kaypro-II & IV
    o   CALCOMP and FXYPLOT (2- & 3-D plots) written in Microsoft Fortran
	for an Epson printer (easily adaptable for graphics addressable
	printers)

I suspect you can find what you need for ZCPR3 on the SIMTEL20 archives.  The major directory is PD:<ZSYS>.

I -- and I am sure many others -- would very much like a copy of your FORTRAN plotting routines.  For some reason, plotting seems not to have been too well developed over here.  

Please mail direct to me if I can help in any way.  I don't have a Kaypro, but I have gotten ZCPR3 up on a Heath H89.

Peter, Echelon is just now releasing bootable disks for the Kaypro
series.  ZCPR3/ZRDOS with no installation requirements at all (just
insert and boot).  There is also an introductory user's guide (non-tech).
The book is extra (I think).  You also have the option of looking up
the sources in ZWORD3.TXT (in PD:<ZSYS.DOC> on SIMTEL20).
