Hello Tom,

 TW> Commodore 128.  Very nice machine. But the C-64 side was wasted
 TW> as I far perfered teh CPM side of the machine. In those days there
 TW> was a very nice seplection of software that would run as it was
 TW> Osborne/Kaypro compatable.

While I'm a bit of a snob on the Commodore 8-bits, preferring an 80-col
color screen to the C-64's 40-col screen, there were indeed many business
friendly programs for the C-128! I like SuperScript/SuperBase in native 128
mode, and I have dBASE II V2.43* and WordStar 4 for CP/M mode. One of my
favorite programming languages (COMAL) was also available for both CP/M and
native 128 mode (as well as a very nice C-64 version! The programs could be
written generically to run on any of the three modes very nice!)

Cheers,
Phil Heberer
