I'm having bit of fun with my various CP/M
systems but I ran into
what I see as an interesting problem. I got Turbo Pascal on two
systems. A TRS-80 model 4P running Montezuma Micro CP/M and a TRS-80
Model II running Pickles & Trout CP/M. I tried to compile the version
of Kermit written for CP/M using Turbo Pascal. On both systems it
runs out of memory and crashes in the same place. Surely the developers
would have noticed this. Anybody here have any experience with this?
Have you tried it with "CP/M PLUS"? (CP/M 3.0, which Radio Shack sold
for the model 4)
Does the Turbo Pascal run on those machines with trivial source file?
or subsets of the Kermit code?
Haven't tried any other programs yet as I really wanted Kermit but
none of the other CP/M Kermits work on these machines (at least not
so far) but the problem does appear to be that the program is just
to big.
I just can't believe none of he developers noticed or maybe that
was the point where they all gave up. :-)
