Terminal Software: Could anyone recommend the best terminal/comunications/transfer package to use with a Kaypro 4/84 cp/m machine? I'm looking for: 1. vt100 emulation 2. some standard transfer protocols (ie. kermit, Xmodem) 3. some good ones (ie. Zmodem) 4. macros would be good. 5. auto login capabilities, perhaps. If anyone knows of such a wonder package for the Kaypro or cp/m in general, could you please mail me info on how/where to get it. If there is none, how about some info on how I would go about writing my own; such as some good books. Is vt100 even possible for the Kaypro 4? Hard Drives: I am also looking to put a hard drive inside that sherman tank of a case. How do I go about doing this? Are there any good books I could read? Where do I start? (I have a 20meg from an ibm compatible...any good?) Compilers: I would like to hear about the compilers available and how they fair. I want a C compiler for my machine...what should I get? And most importantly, how and where? And how much$$! $-) It looks like I'm going to have to be using modula-2 for some courses, so I'm also interested in hearing about them as well. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Please reply by mail to: mjarvis@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU and I will summerize.

I have a couple of term programs which will do all the above quite well. ZMP has the Zmodem protocol and is VERY easy to configure, plus easy to configure and use macros. Plus I have another program called "Qterm" which has a very good script language, an VT100 emulation. I have had a great deal of luck with Qterm in transferring stuff from our local UNIX system because it deals with the CR/LF dilemma so easily. Plus it has a few other neat things, plus the whole shmear is memory resident. I will configure both programs for use with Kaypro. May take a while, but I promise, I will do it. In the meantime, have fun!

I want >a C compiler for my machine...what should I get? I've used probably most of the C compilers out (at least at one rev each :-), and my preferred one is Aztec C. Ecosoft C isn't bad, but the compiler has an irritating habit of crashing on syntax errors! I used BDS C 1.5 a fair amount, it worked well but wasn't very "standard" - I'm told this is fixed with their new v1.6. If so, it might be your best bet... -- Bill Swan entropy.ms.washington.edu!sigma!bill Send postal address for info: Innocent but in prison in Washington State for 13.5 years: Ms. Debbie Runyan: incarcerated 01/1989, scheduled release 07/2002.
