I have a friend who recently bought a Televideo 803 CP/M based computer. She thought she was getting MS-DOS but now she would like to try and make it work. She wants to do word processing at home and then print on a DOS machine at work. Can anyone give me some software sources for CP/M and a solution for her DOS-CP\M conversion problem. Thanks Edgar Tooley

... as far as applications software goes, there are still lots of BBSs about SYDEX, P.O. Box 5700, Eugene, Oregon, ph:(503)683-6033, FAX:(503)683-1622, and FINALLY BBS:(503)683-1385 publishes a great CP/M disk drive emulator that would allow file transfers between CP/M and DOS. I "bought" a copy ($15 hardly qualifies as a purchase) and it works like a charm. Hundreds of drives are supported 8"/5.25"/3.5" and the author will build a disk descriptor file for you if it's not already written. Great product -great company. Good Luck Cheers, Philip Halverson P.B.Halverson@massey.ac.nz

Good little utility.
