From: Harold Carter (AFIT) <hcarter@Brl-Mis.ARPA> I have installed ZCPR3 on a Big Board system with little problem in about 4 hours of effort. I was running ZCPR2 before. The system is as Rick Conn advertizes and runs better than I expected on a floppy disk system. (Rick uses a winnie for all his work). Using a double density 8" disk drive system (~670 Kbytes per disk) I can put all of the ZCPR3 utilities and system segments on a disk with about 300 Kbytes left. The system loads fast and runs very fast in spite of the extra transient programs which are executed to support shells, aliases and IF constructs. One of the nicest features is the TCAP (like TERMCAP) capability. On a Televideo 950, almost all utilities are screen oriented with half intensity enhancement. Very Nice! I think Rick Conn has a real winner here. The entire system is user friendly and consistent. Get a copy from SIGM or SIMTEL20. You will like it.... Hal Carter
