Does anyone know anything about a shareware MS-DOS emulator for CP/M? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Aaron Peromsik | "Please insert disk with | | hh2x@cornella.cit.cornell.edu | with the 128 deskTop v2.0" | | hh2x@vax5.cit.cornell.edu | | | | | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I suppose anything is possible given enough disk space and time, bu I can't imagine a software MSDOS emulator. There are utilities to allow MSDOS diskettes to be read on CP/M machines. On Simtel20, there's TRANSFER12 and I did a rewrite called DOSONCPM. Clarence Wilkerson

MSDOS is requering 640 kb of memory and a 80x8x processor to run. CP/M is designed to use max. 64 Kb workspace running under a Z80 processor. This means that you have to 1) Get a 8088 emulator running 2) a MS-DOS emulator running 3) and then find space for the >600 kb requering programe. You can, however, transfer files easily. I know of the commercial programe called UniForm, and the shareware (?) programe 22DSK, which is avalilable on Simtel20, and its mirrors. I have several times used my CP/M machine as an editor, doing the hard typing parts at home, and then moving my stuff to another machine (by cable but essential the same thing). Sorry.
