This release features a temporary regression, releases for Microsoft Windows will not work. This is because of the way that I changed the console input handling - and now we cheat by invoking stty to disable echoing of characters.

That said for the Mac, Linux, and Unix users this is a significant release, as we've improved our functionality a lot - cpmulator can now run many more applications which it couldn't in the past, including:

  • Borland's Turbo Pascal.
  • Wordstar.

The CCP no longer exits when child processes attempt a warm/cold boot either, making the interactive experience much nicer.

Finally the CLI executable has received a number of new command-line flags, which you can see via cpmulator -help.
