I have installed XMODEM and BYE and RBBS and am just about ready to bring the whole thing up. I am having one last annoying problem though. I usually install ZCPR on the systems I use as RCP/Ms, to allow searching back to A0> mostly. This makes use of the system much more straightforward. I don't like DUPUSR and this allows me to keep just one copy of the system software online in A0: and have it accessed from any drive or user#. We have succesfully installed ZCPR in several other systems and have never had a problem like this. If anyone out there knows anything that might help, please send me mail. Here's the problem: We install ZCPR and SYSGEN a disk with it. We cold boot and everything works fine. All the ZCPR commands work and the prompt has changed from A: to A0: as it should. The system searches back to A0: as advertised. BUT, on the first cold boot (after a ^C or program exit) the system tries to reload the CCP and crashes with a message that looks like this: -SYSTEM ERROR As an alternative we got a patch that just implements the search back to A0: instead of the full ZCPR and tried to install it. We got the exact same behavior from this patch. Any Ideas? What is so magic about the Vector CCP? I have called Vector several dozen times and they have proved to be much less than useful. I am stumped and turn to you, the DARPA CP/M wizards to give me a helping hand. Seymour -------
