I have an unmodified all-in-one Z-12O, with a floppy drive, a 1O
meg winchester, running DOS 3.1. I want to buy a couple of programs
for it, and need some info.
Is there a version of TURBO-C which will run on a Z-12O? If so,
I'd like some ordering information.
Next, I'd like the same info for something like SIDEKICK. I
looked at Right Hand Man, but got turned off by the notepad screen
only being about 1/4 of a screen. I'd prefer a full screed editor,
if I have one at all. What about PERKS? Or, are there other, better
programs? All opinions appreciated.

I beleive you have to give it a parameter to tell it to not show the line numbers as it compiles though. If you have full memory in your Z-100 I would highly recommend you getting ZPC from HUG. It is only about $45 or so and will let you run a fair bit of PC software. I beleive the integrated environment will run under ZPC. I know version 1.0 of Turbo-C will run fine under ZPC. (I got a PC compatible before I upgraded to ver 2.) As for pop up utilities I only know of 2. Perks which you named and Genie. I am not sure if the Z-100 version of Genie is still available. Both Perks & Genie have most of the utilities found in Sidekick. If you are going to get ZPC if you load Perks before ZPC it will pop up in either Z100 or PC mode. John Wolf CSE0421@desire.wright.edu
