I have heard that Montezuma's CPM is pretty good and I would like to hear from people who actually have it. I want to know what I'm getting before I pluck down my hard-earned $169(college-student budget). Thanks. William Chao wchao@topaz.rutgers.edu

I would also like to know if anyone have gotten files from simtel20 using ftp and actually got some of the public- domain cpm stuff to work without modifications. William Chao wchao@topaz.rutgers.edu

I've used it for over a year and it's an excellent version of CP/M 2.2. It also allows access to ALOT of software. Well worth the $169.00 cost. -Rob Healey rhealey@ub.d.umn.edu p.s. Hi Tom! try umn-d-ub.uucp if the above doesn't work.

I've slurped up about 5Megs from simtel20 via anonymous ftp. Basic, pascal, small-c, xmodem, mex (terminal program), a GREAT visual editor called vde. The all required only minor, if any modifications. vde was the only one where I had to set up video codes, it was easy tho... I'd say get Monte's CP/M and have at it. There is a TON of CP/M software on simtel20 that will work on the model 4 running Monte's CP/M. -Rob rhealey@ub.d.umn.edu
