- What you may be able to do (if you're so inclined) would be to write a series
- of macros or a translator program to handle the 8088 code -- *grins* If you do,
- I'd sure appreciate it - Note that you'd have to re-write the I/O etc.
- sections....
-
- For the C=128 it would probably be better to write the translator for the Z-80
- under CP/M....
-
- If anybody does either of these ideas - lemme know!!!!
