I need to contact Michael Rubenstein, author of many CP/M programs
including SETDRU, OTERM, HSH15, and Z80MR.

I looked through all the DOC and source code files for the above
programs and could find no information on his address or phone number.

Does anyone know how to contact him?

Hello,

I have 350-point adventure source code with executable. Also,
I have 500-point Adventure with no source code. Where is 500-point
adventure DDL source code???

I disassembled 500-point adventure and found that it is interpreter
for Adventure, not native code! It was written in FORTRAN-80. It must
be DDL language! DDL stands for Dungeon Definition Language.

Where is CP/M ADL Language?? I am waiting for it over a year!

Subject: CP/M-68K entry points

Timothy, I can probably help you if you can supply me a little more
information. What machine are you running on? What version of CP/M-68K?
And what entry points are you looking for?

The BDOS/BIOS calls are pretty much the same as CP/M-2.2 (which a few
minor differences), but the access is through TRAP instructions rather
than specific addresses. If interested, I can put you in touch with
a company that has manuals for CP/M-68K, also FORTRAN-77 for it.

Send me info and I will try to help. Also, you might want to move this
discussion over to [email protected] if you can.

Rick, and other Televedio users,

I talked with Televideo tech. support a couple of days ago (their
number is 408-745-7760), and found out that they have a bulletin board
for the support of their products. It has a bunch of software for the
TS-802 and other stuff. Heres the details:

Phone: 408-734-8561
Baud: 300/1200/2400
Format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Procedure: When you're connectted enter a couple CR's, and
it will come back with the startup prompts. Note
that if you're using 2400 baud, you should type a
couple of Control-A's instead of CR's.

Subject: INFO-CPM Digest V88 #196

Harris,
I hope You didn't mean that all the systems You mentioned were 68K
based. Although some microized VAXen do use 68000's as i/o controllers,
there is no way to use them as system processors. The VAX chip set itself
is strictly proprietary to DEC, so running CP/M could only be done on the
2000 (vs410) through an emulator.

(I always hate reading this type of posting...)

I seem to recall having at some point, perhaps two years ago,
a calendar-printing program which was VERY small - 2k bytes,
I think. Now, of course, when I could use it, it's lost.
This was (is!) one of those programs which took commands like
"CAL 3 88" and printed:

March 1988
S M Tu W Th F S
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31

Surely this will spark you all into action! "Here," you'll
say, "let me send you a uuencoded copy! I know just what you
want, and this is it!" To all of you who do this, my thanks.

Subject: CP/M->MSDOS problems

Dear CP/M User:

Last summer before our school started, I ported a file to MS-DOS diskette
with my commodore 128 w/rfc512 disk drive using Trans-128 software. I
formatted MS-DOS diskette on my commodore 128 and put a file into it.

I returned back to school, I tried to dir my MSDOS disk on school's
IBM PC. It worked fine. I tried to copy a file from commodore 128 to
hard disk but it said me that sector not ready error. I tried another
file to my MSDOS disk but copy slowed down much. What happened?

I believed that trans-128 misplaced sector#/track# on all tracks that
made MS-DOS system slowed down. Why?

Subject: ZCPR3.3 installation
Status: RO

Rather belatedly I have started to use ZCPR3.3 after several years of
using ZCPR2. I am, however, having some trouble with the particular
installation that I would like to use, and I am looking for some
assistance.

The system that I use is an Apple //+ with a PCPI Applicard CP/M card.
I have a 512K RAM disk on the Applicard. I would like to arrange the
ZCPR3.3 system so that the RAM disk is drive A: two 5.25" floppies are
B: and C: and two 8" floppies are D: and E: The standard Applicard
INSTALL process allows an AUTOST.COM file on either A: or B: (only).
After setting up various buffer areas and the PATH, AUTOST finishes by
invoking STARTUP. I have successfully installed ZCPR3.3 by making the
first (boot) 5.25" drive A: the second 5.25" B: and the RAM disk C: etc.
However, if I try to make my desired configuration (RAM disk A: etc),
LDR.COM cannot find the SYS.* files, unless I put them on the A: drive
first. This is obviously not practical in the case of a cold boot from
power off, as A: is the RAM disk.

I think that I am using a fairly standard STARTUP alias (LDR
SYS.FCP,SYS.NDR,SYS etc...) and I have set the path as A0,A15,B0,B15.
With this path the SYS.* files cannot be found on the B:, which I don't
understand. I have made up an alternative STARTUP alias which is
LDR B:SYS.FCP,B:NDR etc, but the SYS.* files are still not found. It
appears that they must be on the A: drive for the boot to be completed.
Is it possible to change this ? I have moved the SYS.* files onto the
RAM disk after an incomplete boot and then run STARTUP again and the
boot will complete properly. Also if I leave them on the RAM disk and
do a cold boot without turning the power off (which I can do with the
Applicard), the boot goes through to completion.

I am obviously doing something wrong, as I cannot imagine that the SYS.*
files must be on the A: drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Gordon Marwood

P.S. also related to the above, I have found that if I am using DU (yes, the
original version), and I try to write some of the Y)anked sectors to the
A: drive, (e.g. KA0:filename.ext), an attempt is made to write to the B:
drive. The resulting file seems to be known to the system, but I then cannot
find it with SWEEP. Maybe I should not be using DU with ZCPR3.3. I have not
checked this yet.
