We have begun testing beta version of assembler and linker which was ported for Sprinter computer from CP/M.

ok... I hope to see soon a version of CP/M and UZIX ;-)

Why are you interested CP/M?

Because CP/M is a beautiful operating system. It have many programs written for its and (with UZI) there is the possibility to connect to internet a pc.

And what you will say about Hitech C? Its realization for CP/M really good, isn't it?
So, if Hitech C will be ported for Sprinter, it will done possible to use a lot of sources of the programs. Probably CP/M will not be necessary. CP/M-80 not so power OS, by the way. What programs would you like to use with CP/M-80?

yes.. I know... A C compiler for Sprinter is a good thing...
I hope that an "internet connection" for Sprinter in a near future will allow Sprinter's user to download easyer programs and games and Sprinter could be compared to a normal pc (only cheaper than PC!). Now if someone want to use Sprinter must have another pc (for download newest bios, programs...)
To the world today there is competition between calculator... I hope that an operating system (such as cp/m or better Uzi) can reduce the gap with pc and become more popular the Sprinter (so many software will be develope)

I definitely concur... Even DOS is a x86 "port" of CP/M (and it was pretty good until M$ took care of it).

I know I am not a "programmer" in the strict sense, but... What about a nice BASIC version for Sprinter?
No flaming, please, you "real" C programmers! ;)

BASIC is the almost only language I know, (along with a bit of Z-80 assembly... I've born with a Speccy after all), and I had FIG-FORTH for the ZX, but did not much programming with it. I really think a BASIC compiler will be more "natural" for ZX freaks.

Whadda U think?

Here you go ! The idea to have a flexible Computer, supporting lots of things seems nice! (Especially cheap internet alternative!) That would be a "yummy" gadget, man!!!
Just imagine how many people in Russia would be able to get i-net connection with a computer of $100 value! Hooh:)

I think not in Russia only.
I see, some of our forum members assumes an opportunity of creation the connection to Internet from Sprinter after porting CP/M to the Sprinter only...
There are other opinions?

I suppose not fully Internet compatible (because applet java, shockwave etc uses 32 bit istrutions) but a "light" internet (such as the pocket internet explorer of palm) or text based email client...
