At the risk of sending incredibly green (which i am), could someone recommend a book on CP/M? Of all that i could find @ my friendly local B.Dalton, *Soul of CP/M* by Waite & LaFore seemed to have the best balance of detail vs. plain language (cursory inspection, no purchase - yet). Is there anything better that won't put me to sleep? Thanks Ahead. der -------

Check out David Cortesi's books -- Inside CP/M - Holt Rinehart Winston 1982 ISBN 0-03-059558-4 A Programmer's Notebook - Reston Publ 1983 ISBN 0-8359-5641-5 if you really want legible info on the internals, and hooking to them. They're deep, but fully cross-referenced and explained. Richard Klappal UUCP: ..!ihnp4!chinet!uklpl!rlk | "Money is truthful.

Osborne/McGgrah-Hill's CP/M User Guide By Thom Hogan is very good. Paul
