   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.
