I just recently bought a TRS-80 Model 4P. That confession doesn't come easy; this perverse act has really estranged me from many folks around here who aren't keen on older technology:-). Does anybody have a teeny weenie editor that feels sorta like an EMACS for this critter (or more generally for CP/M in general)? What C compiler(s) are recommended for this beastie? If I can't get a tiny emacs-style editor from someone else my next attempt is going to be to port ELLE. Does anybody have something like unto a PD useable subset of libc.a for CP/M? One of those would bring the goal closer into reach, given the availability of Small-C (which I would be willing to try and hack ELLE into) or the possibility of back-ending gcc for the Z80 (as a cross-compiler only, obviously). I should remark that this is running Montezuma CP/M 2.2. (P.S. Thanks to the folks who responded to my plea for help getting CP/M; it turns out I found someone who lives rather near me who had what I needed). Also, does anybody have favorite books to recommend for (1) CP/M architecture and systems programming, and (2) Z80 machine/assembler? Thanks! -Bennett bet@orion.mc.duke.edu

Miller, published by SYBEX. I've got two "regular" Model 4's, and I run Mont. Micro CP/M exclusively. None of this TRASHDOS stuff. I also run a BBS on it, with the overlays on the RAMDISK for fast loading. Does the 4P have the RAMDISK? I use BDS C as my C compiler. It compiles and runs fast, but doesn't support every "standard C" function. It is very inexpensive. -- Jim "Lips" Earl UUCP: ucbvax!ucdavis!csusac!mmsac!jim KB6KCP INTERNET: mmsac!jim@csusac.csus.edu ======================================================================= The opinions stated herein are all mine.
