      EV>TW>As I said my attraction was the CPM Software aviliable becasue of it's       EV>TW>compatability with the Onsorne/Kaypro suitcase computers. There was an       EV>TW>Income tax program that I used for several years before going to hte XT       EV>TW>clone. Plus Genealogy program was another CPM program that I liked.       EV>TW>I did use the 128 side of the computer and there was a nice selection       EV>TW>there alos. NONE of which were 64 compatable becaue they needed a 80       EV>TW>character screen as I recall.                     EV>I never had anything that used CPM, I just remember CPM was a Common       EV>Language that worked on many early computer boxes IIRC.              In theory YES. But each manfacturer tweeked their CPU so their pograms       did not work on onter CPM machiens.              The Osborne/Kaypro/Commodore CPM was the first semi widely used version.              I rembember at the VA Medical Center when they first started using       computers for wiodprocessing each depatement picked a different make and       the non compatability was somewhat of a probelem.       Then when they started using the XT machiens it was quite a bit better       Except thaere waqs no facility wide wordprocessor and compatability       again became a probelm.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ 0         * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 And Still Here.
