Hello everyone _ I want to know the smalles comm programs for CP/M. All I need are terminal capabilities, ASCII capture, and Xmodem. The best one will be shoehorned into 63K of EPROM which is why size is a premium.

My terminal program is SMODEM.COM with Xmodem (CRC). I have the source code, and you can delete everything you don't need.

This is CP/M, not Mess-Dos. I've never seen ANY comms program for CP/M bigger than about 40K or so, and that is MEX1.14, which does all sorts of tricks. I suspect that just about any program you pick will fit on a 64K ROM. I'd suggest trying MDM7XX, for which the full source is (or was, ca 1984) available on SIMTEL. You can always cut out things you don't want. Ross Alford zlraa@marlin.jcu.edu.au -- Ross A.

Just to throw my own 2d in, if you are looking for term programs for CP/M that you can readily find source to, you might want to try Kermit. I know the source is availabe, that is how it is distributed. I have the 4.0 source, and I have modified it to work with some of my stranger machines, so it is VERY flexible that way. The only problem I can see, and this applies for most of the other programs too, I think, is that most of the CP/M programs that I am familiar with don't maintain the strict segregation of code and data space that is essential if you are going to run the prog off of the ROM. You may be forced to move the entire routine to RAM as part of your startup, and then page the ROM out. The only other alternative is going through hundreds of K of assembler source trying to movde all of the data stores to wherever in your memory map you have some RAM, not my idea of fun.
