Having not used function 37, I have a dumb question. Are we only talking about MP/M or CP/M86 systems when referring to fn. 37? David Cortesi, in 'INSIDE CP/M' says fn. 37 is for MP/M only, not CP/M 2.2. Is David wrong about this too??? Doug.

From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@mit-mc> CP/M 2.2 The confusion happens because many of the older CP/M manuals, including alas the one distributed with Compupro CP/M 2.2 systems, stop with Function 36 and do not even mention 37-40. Fn 37 returns a 0 in A to be compatible with MP/M Incidenteally Tony installed CP/M 8/16 tonight with a new Compupro hard disk. I love it. Huge TPA even with 8-bit stuff since all the CP/M goo is in memory above 64K and the 8088 handles disk ops fast fast fast...
