Availability will be announced here. Z3ON3, the workname for this version of ZCPR33, is implemented as a CP/M 3 RSX; it requires no changes whatever to the bios or system tracks, and can be rapidly loaded and unloaded. I expect it will run on most/all z80-based cp/m 3 systems, with no system configuration required. Most Z-tools run without change, and we are cataloging those requiring attention. Programs that use these functions will need upgrading: direct bios file i/o disk size calculation from the allocation vector references to zcpr3 internal addresses (show, h, ...) (Conversion of zcpr3 to an RSX has been a major system-programming task; I would advise against attempting it yourself without a very complete understanding of the internals of the cp/m 3 bdos and ccp). --bridger mitchell
