Title: PCW Software on CPC
Post by: zhulien on 19:05, 23 September 22

Hi,

I know that PCW and CPC both use CP/M+, but... are there any software that were marketed only for PCW that also work on CPC?

eg, does Masterfile 8000 work on both?

I can't comment on other CPM software but I think it likely that Masterfile 8000 would use the RAM drive (M) on the PCW, so that, and the different screen configurations, would rule it out.

AFAIK SuperCalc² works on both CPC and PCW via CPM

Just the screen... would be an easy patch then. RAM drive C (or M) for CPC CP/M Plus is provided by Dobbertin expansions anyway.
