Bill, there is only one emulator out there which can do CPM on the PC. I think
it's the only one that does it at all for the Apple stuff. You have to get
Apple Oasis. This was originally know as A24Win and you might find it on the
net that way. This software is shareware but for all the features it has it's
definatley worth it. It is the only reliable emulator for printing from oldr
software, it has fully functional serial emulation supports up 1024k of extra
ram, clock card, 80 column and double hires. Apple ][, IIe support, comes with
a copy of the rom from the authors computer and/or works with the ApplePc IIe
rom. Lets see, mouse support, hard disk support. .DSK and .NIB support as well
as it's own format. comes with a disk utility based in windows which has helped
me convert many files from the 'net. Also has a program which works as a disk
(HD too) server for real or emulated Apples. Much more, the author actively
supports this set of applications.

I must sound like the author myself with all this ranting about it, actually
Teodor and I became friends after I started using the program and I helped him
with beta testing some new features. Currently the only drawback is no full
screen mode, but he's working on that too. we tried it with TTF fonts and it
sorta works but it's not real full screen and not in graphics mode.

It does require windows although it will run with Win 3.1 and up. I looks best
in true color at 640x480 resolution 'cause the screen doesn't scale with mode
changes.

Did I mention colorizable text? You can also adjust the screen colors to match
your system. I did this to increase the viewability of the hi-res system and
was able to play several of my favorite RPG's.

Well, I'll quit rambling. Here's the info from his help file to locate it.
