Somebody here asked me if we had a ZMP overlay for the Osborne 1 some time ago, and I had a look into it. I gave up, mainly because there seemed to be a bewildering array of different RS232 interfaces for the things, and also because I didn't actually have one of the beasties to work on (which makes it much harder!). I would appreciate a copy of your ZMP overlay if possible. While I'm at it, I'm taking suggestions for the next version(s) of ZMP and RZMP. Anyone got anything they'd like to see included? ....

Right now, you HAVE to wait until the library displays on the screen, then hit either '+' or '-', then your # selection. And if you forget, well.... Then again, I'd also like to see that delay after ESC-I go away.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marc Wilson ARPA: ...!crash!mwilson@nosc.mil ...!crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mwilson@nosc.mil UUCP: [ cbosgd | hp-sdd!hplabs | sdcsvax | nosc ]!crash!mwilson INET: mwilson@crash.CTS.COM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marc Wilson ARPA: ...!crash!mwilson@nosc.mil ...!crash!pnet01!pro-sol!mwilson@nosc.mil UUCP: [ cbosgd | hp-sdd!hplabs | sdcsvax | nosc ]!crash!mwilson INET: mwilson@crash.CTS.COM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It runs real fast. 1: You need to be able to have it find the overlays on a drive/user area different than where you keep the .com or your current directory. The drive and user area could be specified in the overlay? 2: When sending ASCII files from the PC to CP/M, they ended up padded with up to 127 bytes of junk. I can't say if this is a bug in ZCOMM or ZMP. Perhaps ZMP forgets to add the ctrl-Z? Sorry, I can't remember more. I also don't know the versions of the software. Mail me if you need more info.
