They are running a Vector Graphics 5005 under CP/M 2.5. CP/M 2.5 was described as a vendor modified CP/M superset allowing several users in the MP/M style. The system has a 5 megabyte winchester. They have found that to allow separate users working on distinct applications, they must have each user login to a different user area. Unfortunately, the 5 megabyte disk is marginal and there is not enough room for separate copies of certain applications programs. I am told that CP/M will search User 0 for .com files after failing to find a match in another user area, but this will not work for programs that use overlays. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to patch CP/M to allow the sharing of programs with overlays? Ken Mandelberg Emory University Dept of Math and CS Atlanta, Ga 30322 {akgua,sb1,gatech}!emory!km
