news -i 'Re: sri-arpa.13824: New Opsystem for the pdp-11!' -n net.unix-wizards Strange as it may seem I can see a market for CP/M on an 11. There are a large number of programs one can get for CP/M at low cost. Often these have lower performance than UNIX equivelants but for a small company the limited performance may be better than high price. What I don't understand is how CP/M could be implimented on an 11. Packages for use under CP/M are normally distributed as absolute binary how could these run on an 11 unless there is a co-processor. As a matter of fact I would like a device which runs under UNIX and implements CP/M as a sub process. Jose Torre-Bueno decvax!duke!phs!jtb
