Since I don't think this got a usable reply on list it came from and
it sounds like some people on this list had a Kaypro, I decided to see
if we are geeky enough that someone has an answer. The closest I got
to finding a solution at the time was someone who said it sounded
familiar - didn't have a Kaypro and my CP/M machine is long gone. Most
of the people on the list it came from probably would not consider
themselves geeks and I'm sure have wondered what I'm good for when I
displayed such tendencies.
