How do you explain that all the cybercafes in my area use Windows? This is
the comp.os.cpm Newsgroup. I arrived here after all the various small
magazines (like "The Computer Journal") died one after another. As far as I
know, this is the last place on Earth where CP/M stuff is discussed.

Regarding Win 98SE, for me it is just a way to access the Internet. Find me
the equivalent under CP/M (or even DR-DOS (by the way, why I am the only one
to talk about DR-DOS? Isn't it a Digital Research OS? And where can one find
DR-SBK and DR-WebSpyder?)), and I will drop without any problem Win 98SE.

If I was using Linux, I would be the only one in the area. I am already the
only one still using CP/M. By using Win 98SE, I can talk with the cybercafe
managers, and can use any "IBM Clown" available right now. Like it or not,
Windows is the universal OS, not Unix. Ten years ago, there was still a
computer shop selling Macs. It is gone. Now, all that remains are "IBM
Clowns" running Windows.

By the way, I seem to remember that someone wrote:

so, where is a simple email program for CP/M?

As I have already explained over and over, the Internet is based on the
client/server idea, so I thought of using CP/NET Version 1.2 (since it is
compatible with 16-bit DR Net) as a first step, so that a CP/M computer
could run a Web browser running on a Linux box.

As far as I know, my proposal of severals years ago as never been
implemented.

(I have been unable to connect to your telnet MP/M-II server ever since my
first try.)

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Emmanuel Roche, France
