A magazine I stumbled upon which I just subscribed to is Micro Cornucopia. It's eclectic, technically oriented, and doesn't assume you're some sort of guru (though it does assume you're technically oriented and want to know/do more). Good style, too. (Refreshing.) I mention it here because I'd never heard of it before, and I think it's worth checking out. -- Bitnet: lib.cb@uchicago.bitnet Internet: lib.cb@chip.uchicago.edu uucp: ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!cjdb

/* Written 10:43 pm Feb 16, 1988 by wtm@neoucom.UUCP in inmet:comp.misc */ Yes, I do remember. CP/M-86 would run on 8088s. In Wordstar, one only need change one byte in the PSP to get the CP/M-86 version of ws3.2 to run under MS-DOS 1.0. It's been about four years, so I forget exactly what it was that one changed. I suppose if you get a copy of the book "Underground Wordstar" it has the patch listed. We did this on a DEC Rainbow. --Bill /* End of text from inmet:comp.misc */ Excuse me, we seem to have serious confusion here. As I recall, the original poster said that one only need change one byte from the *CP/M* version to get the MS-DOS version. If he meant CP/M-*86*, then he should have said so. That was, I assume, what the comment about different opcodes was referring to. (Some of us remember when plain old CP/M was the only real operating system for micros, and don't automatically assume that it refers to CP/M-86). -- Justin du Coeur
