In isdos now everything rests on 85 segments, the rest does not seem to me
a necessary obstacle. When using 128 memory not for ramdisks, but
for its intended purpose, you can quite cope with both the editor and the echo processor.
The format of the message database also requires a special Spectrum one, maybe a squish
will do :-/ You can start by writing everything in C and distributing it to the people
who will gradually rewrite it in ASMA and bring it into a more decent form...
But I don’t like Dickie at all :-( Everything is good there, but
you need to completely redo the protocols and adapt them to iS-DOS chick.
C adaptation may be a problem.
