I've been hearing for some time now about a public domain library for 
Aztec C II.  I first heard about it in Dave Cortesi's column in the Feb. 
'84 Dr. Dobb's I've been trying to find it since then, with no luck
whatsoever.  Does anyone have any idea how to get it?

C'mon, Rick!  Lighten up!  Do you run everything you post to the net through
spelling checkers, grammer analyzers, etc., or are you merely blessed with
perfect mastery of the English language?

I don't think it is fair that Jerry is singled out for a lot of criticism
simply because one might recognize his name.  (Or, perhaps be envious of
his fame?)  And I really don't think it is fair that we waste all the 
net.micro.cpm'ers time with this subject!  All future criticism of Pournelle
to net.flame, agreed!

Is this really from Jerry Pournelle, science fiction author and columnist
in Byte Magazine - or is someone on the net impersonating him?
(Remember moscvax, et al).

I find it hard to believe that a professional writer would put out something
like this, even to a limited public audience.  Several of the other recent
submissions from POURNE@mit-mc are similar in English quality.  Typos
are one thing, 'even yet already' is another.

Simtel-20 is a TOPS-20 system on the ARPAnet.  If you are on USENET, but not
ARPAnet, you can't access the CP/M archives there.  (From Arpanet, they
accept FTP anonymous logins, but most APRAnauts probably know this)

In the latest copy of Dr. Dobbs Journal there is a letter from an irate
person who claims to have ordered Modula-2 from JRT (for 102.95) and
was assurred it would be shipped "the next day". Well we know what happened
right? Its been 3 months, no one answers the phone at JRT and when he sent
them a letter reiceipt requested, Good ol' Mr. Tyson signed for it. Draw your
own conclusions, I personally don't wish to invest in that company. 

It does raise two questions though.

1.) Has anyone heard of a Full Modula-2 for Z80 based systems ? Borland is
    working on one but it seems there is practically no support for the 
    8 Bit people out there. They expect theirs "sometime" after the MS-DOS
    one comes out (currently Q1 85)

2.) If not Modula, how about a good concurrent PASCAL?

Does this mean that the ONLY way to access SIMTEL-20 is via the ARPAnet?

If you think Jerry's typing etc is bad, you should get a
letter from Ray Bradbury someday!

Think about it -- if you are ripping out one-shot code, do
you always use the best coding techniques you possibly can?
These folks get PAID for good writing, and it's only reasonable
that they would not take great care with unpaid quick notes!

The version of MS-DOS I have for the Zenith 150 comes with a utility
called RDCPM.COM. The purpose of which is to read CP/M-86 files on the
floppy. The $65,535 question is what is the format for this floppy
Specifically :
How Many Bytes/Sector ?
Interleave Facter ?
# of tracks before the Directory ?
A Parameter Block for it would be ideal.
Total storage of this format ? 180/320/360K

Anyone who wants to hack on a Kaypro should read the magazine
"Micro Cornucopia" out of Bend, Oregon.  They cover the Big
Board and derivatives (Xerox 820, Kaypro, BB II,  ...).
They also are starting to cover non-Z80 single-board machines.
They sell schematics for Kaypros (they may not yet have
schematics for the new models).  Kaypro sells the source for
the BIOS, ROMs, and Kaypro-specific utilities for about $100
(called the "Tinkerkit").

Micro Cornucopia is fun to read.  It reminds me of the old
Dr. Dobbs.
