Can anyone point me to some ftp sites containing PD software for CP/M systems? I am interested in FS editors, comm., utilities, etc. I have an Apple][+ with an ALS Z-Engine (don't laugh- it works!), but very little CP/M stuff. Also, if anyone in this newsgroup has any experience with Apple CP/M, I would appreciate hearing from them...

Sites for CP/M PD software: of course, there is the classic: WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL, 26.2.0.74, which has mountains of CP/M stuff. Closer to the original inquirer, whom I noticed was from MCNC, is site 128.109.153.4, ccvax.cc.ncsu.edu, which also has quite a bit of PD CP/M stuff. To use the ncsu system, it's best to telnet to it, when it asks for a userid tell it PUBLIC--this gets you into a bbs. it is also possible to use anonymous ftp to retrieve files from it, but it has some sort of VAX/VMS? directory structure that makes it difficult to decide what directory to ask for.
