rconn@BRL (12/31/82)
From: Rick Conn <rconn@BRL>
The release of ZCPR2 is more-or-less on schedule. Two of
the four manuals are virtually finished, and some bugs have shown
up in some of the utilities, but I think they will be ready by
the 10 Jan release date.
As scheduled, today is the release of drafts to the ARPA
Net. I will try to upload the drafts of the Concepts Manual and
the Installation Manual to MIT-MC tonight. I will send out a
message when they are there. The only hitch I can see right now
revolves around TCP conversion.
The following is a summary of what will be uploaded. At
the time of the upload announcement, I will also send a summary
(rather long) to INFO-CPM.
ZCPR2 Concepts and Installation Manuals
First Draft Release
The Squeezed Forms will have been uploaded to MIT-MC.
They will be stored in the CPM directory, and their names are
Z2CON and Z2INS with types of WQ and WQH (i.e., Z2CON WQ is one
manual).
The Concepts Manual is over 60 pages long.
The Installation Manual is over 27 pages long.

I'm looking forward to getting this; is it still
available? Alas, the net is so flakey that I cannot download
anything just yet, but perhaps things will improve.

From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl.arpa> Thanks for your interest, Jerry. ZCPR2 Version 2.0, Mod 0.1 (sorry about the mod -- can't have everything) was released at 10PM Friday Eve, 4 Mar, right after my talk on ZCPR2 to the Amateur Computer Group of NJ. I'll drop a note to the ARPA Net (INFO-CPM) tonight with details. Rick

At the risk of being inundated with mail: What is ZCPR2? Is it a Z-80 Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation program, version 2? Please, when you announce the availability of something, let us know what it is. We aren't all psychic.
rconn@brl.arpa (02/16/83)
From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl.arpa> ZCPR2 stands for Z80 Command Processor Replacement, Version 2. It is a replacement for the CP/M 2.2 CCP which can run on Z80-based systems. There has been a large number of 1000+ character messages about it over the past few months, and it is now released and available in the public domain. Future announcements on availability and details will be posted to INFO-CPM, not INFO-MICRO, so you should send a request to INFO-CPM-REQUEST@BRL if you want to keep posted. Rick
