Do you own a Commodore 128, Heathkit, Kaypro, Micromint, Osborne,
Royal, Televideo, Xerox, YASBEC or other CP/M computer?
Then you need to talk to us . . .
The Connecticut CP/M Users' Group -- CCP/M
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Who we are . . .
CCP/M is a not-for-profit computer users group, a friendly society of people
interested in increasing the utility and enjoyment of computing with "CP/M
type" computer systems.
Why we still believe in CP/M . . .
While the world of micro computing, especially business micro computing, moved
more and more to the IBM/MS-DOS standard, CP/M systems have remained a more
practical solution for many computer users.
Contrary to popular opinion, CP/M is alive and well. Independent programmers
are developing low cost (and *FREE*) software and a small dedicated group of
computer manufacturers are still producing CP/M based computers. Many of these
new systems are better than those produced in CP/M's most prolific years.
One important example of this is an exciting new operating system, the Z-
SYSTEM, that is now available for nearly every CP/M type computer system. This
new system is much more efficient, flexible and powerful than standard CP/M
allowing many Z-SYSTEM based computer systems enjoy a performance advantage
over IBM PC MS-DOS systems! Converting from CP/M to Z-SYSTEM, and even
reversing the process, is quick and painless and at a cost of well under a
hundred dollars, the new dynamic Z-SYSTEM is a practical way to improve
dramatically the usefulness and fun of your CP/M system.
CCP/M is *YOUR* connection to these companies and people.
What we offer . . .
* many members who are experienced CP/M and Z-SYSTEM users. We have a wealth of
expertise for you to draw upon.
* regular monthly meetings where topics of interest to CP/M computer users are
presented and discussed.
* a monthly newsletter.
* an online bulletin board system where you can exchange messages, catch up on
CCP/M news and receive programs and other files over your telephone line.
* substantial discounts for Z-SYSTEM products.
* a large library of public domain and shareware programs and information
files.
Public Domain programs are programs released to the general public and may be
used and copied without charge. Shareware programs are released in a slightly
different way. There is no charge to try the programs but the authors do ask
that a fee be sent to them if, and only if, you find the program of use to you.
Often, by sending in this reasonable fee, the author will supply extra features
or information that make the program even more valuable.
Aside from all these benefits we offer the opportunity for our members to
participate in the planning and function of our group. If you have ideas or
suggestions, this group is willing to listen.
Where and when we meet . . .
CCP/M meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Farmington Public
library, Farmington, CT, from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. Interested persons are
encouraged to attend. Directions: Exit 39 (Route 4) off I-84, West 4 miles, the
library is in a civic buildings complex on your right.
