Several short questions:
A) Is ZCPR a public domain (or shareware) program?
B) Is ZCPR worth bothering with on a non-hardisk system (i.e. Osborne exec)
C) Is Turbo Pascal still available for CPM?
D) What is the bye program?
Thanks.

Version 3.4 is commercial, but version 3.3 is definitely public domain. I use it all the time, but then again, I use it on a hard disk-based system, which brings me to: > B) Is ZCPR worth bothering with on a non-hardisk system (i.e. Osborne exec) Not the PD versions of ZCPR because they're meant for CP/M 2.2, and the Ozzy Exec, if I remember properly, uses CP/M Plus. The package you want is Z3PLUS which is commercial, and you can get it from Sage Microsystems East. Jay, you will have to help me on SME's address because I don't have it in front of me. > C) Is Turbo Pascal still available for CPM? Not to my immediate knowledge. I know that you can no longer buy it from Borland, but I do hear that you can get a ZCPR3 version of it somewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong). > D) What is the bye program? It is a program that, when executed, will allow you (or someone else) to use your computer as if the operator was actually seated at it. However, its primary use is for BBS programs. Almost all RCPMs (if not, all) use it. > Thanks.

Recent posting asks if Turbo Pascal is still available
for CP/M, the answer is YES. A few months ago I finally took
the plunge. The source is

They have a huge amount of stuff for CP/M, ask for their catalog.
The price for Turbo Pascal was $60.00 and it was version 3.1.
