<My wish is not a kludge of CP/M. I used CP/M as an example but, if you <were going to use CP/M, I'd wish for a total new re-write with all the <features I wanted built in. Well write them in. The cources are on the net as free for hobby use, there are at least 5 different CPm clones and you can run MYz80 as a development platfform on you PC. <Nope! Linux is still to hard for the average user. There are too many <different flavor of libraries (GLIBC2 vs. LIBC5 as an example). Windows <has the advantage of having (for the most part) only one version of <necessary DLLs. Linux will never match the ease of Windows because if it <did, half of Linux's attractiveness (the user configurability) will be lost The installation is the horror. I have Red Hat and it doesn't like my CDU-33, Slakware does... go figure. Allison
