sors: CP/M-86 software will not run on your C128's 8-bit Z80 proces
sor, although the 1571 drive will let you read CP/M-86 data files.
If you only have a 1541 disk drive you will have to get any software
you buy transferred from MFM format to GCR format. Some soft
ware retailers may be willing to do this for you, but there will probably
be a copying charge. Alternatively, you may find that your local
ICPUG group provides facilities to do this at its meetings.

How to Install it on Your C128
Because there are so many different computers using the CP/M
operating system, many CP/M programs have to be configured for
the particular hardware on which they are to be used. The process of
installing a program on your C128 involves setting parameters within
the software. The program manual will describe how to install the
program if this is required. Most programs provide a list of common
terminals which they support. If ADM31 appears in this list, select it.
If not, you will have to do a custom installation.
Listed below are the entries that should be made when running
WINSTALL.COM (the installation program that is part of the Wordstar
package). These also provide the information that will be needed for
installing other programs, although not all packages ask the same
questions.
