@PROVIDING
A CARTRIDGE-PORT EXPANDER (IE: aPROSPAND) IS USED TO ACCOMODATE

THE pASSPORT INTERFACE.
@ GEOczeditor
WORKS FINE WITH reu-LESS, SINGLE DRIVE SET-UPS WITH AN INTERFACE. oTHER PERIPHERALS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED. tHIS PROGRAM IS 40 COLUMN MODE ONLY.
3) iF YOU AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH EDITING cz PATCHES, THERE ARE MANY GOOD "TIP" BOOKS AVAILABLE. tHE "sOUND sYNTHESIS hANDBOOK" WHICH WAS PACKED WITH THE cz OFFERS SOME HELP. aLSO, SOME BACK-ISSUES OF
kEYBOARD mAGAZINE
, CIRCA '86-'88, HAVE PRIMERS ON cz PROGRAMMING.
5) i'VE TRIED TO INCLUDE AS MANY FEATURES AS POSSIBLE THAT MIGHT BE FOUND ON COMMERCIAL cz EDITORS. fEATURES SUCH AS GRAPHIC EDITING, PRINTING, AND eNVELOPE COPYING HAD TO BE LEFT OUT DUE, PRIMARILY, TO SIZE CONSTRAINTS. tHE cz DATA HANDLING/INTERPRETTING ROUTINES ARE ENORMOUS.
