Are there currently facilities that will allow the running without modification of CPM-80 programs on an IBM AT or XT? Pls reply directly to me. Will summarize if appropriate. herb

The Software Toolworks (818)-986-4885 14478 Glorietta Drive, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. Currently sells "ZP/EM", which does a software emulation of a Z80. I have seen it run accounting programs written in CBASIC without change. Emulation speed is roughly that of a 1 MHz machine (on a stock 4.77 MHz PC). Comes with terminal emulation for a variety of terminals. ZP/EM 39.95 Media Master Plus 59.95 (includes ZP/EM) "Media Master Plus" comes with a copy of Media Master (for reading foreign 5-1/4 inch soft-sector diskettes). They are about to release a similar package which will incorporate a V20 chip (and will run much faster). Price not yet available.

THERE MOST CERTAINLY IS A PROGRAM FOR THIS!
IT IS CALLED "MEDIA MASTER PLUS" AND COSTS $59.95. IT INCLUDES MEDIA
MASTER WHICH READS, WRITES, AND FORMATS OVER 70 DIFFERENT DISKS; AND
ALSO INCLUDES "ZP/EM" WHICH EMULATES CP/M 2.2 ON IBM PC'S AT ABOUT
1-2 MHZ(WON'T RUN HARDWARE DEPENDENT PROGRAMS,E.G. GRAPHICS KEY-
BOARD ENHANCERS).
IT IS AVAILABLE FROM: INTERSECTING CONCEPTS

PHONE: (805) 529-5073 (THEY ACCEPT VISA & MC)
ALS 1-800-824-7888 (OPERATOR 251)
I HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH INTERSECTING CONCEPTS BUT CAN RECOMMEND THE
PROGRAM SINCE I USE IT ON MY OSBORNE ONE TO TRANSFER TEXT AND DATA
FILES TO IBM PC AT WORK.
GOOD LUCK,

But does Media Master plus let you, say, take your Osborne 1 WordStar or dBase II and run it on an IBM PC? If so, how does it handle the differences in terminal characteristics (clear screen, highlighting, etc.). I've been using plain old Media Master (no plus) for well over a year know to do data transfers and find it wonderful for that.
