The Kaypro II package includes the Select word processor from Select Systems, the Profit Plan spreadsheet from Chang Labs, an SBASIC compiler from Topaz programming and version 2.2 of the CP/M operating system. The operating system includes the standard utilities supplied by Digital Research plus special utilities to set the baud rate of the serial port and configure the I/0 ports. It also comes with a simple dumb-terminal program.

On November 1, Nonlinear Systems will reportedly begin offering a different software package with the Kaypro II. A company source told InfoWorld that the Select word processor will be dropped; the company will be supplying PerfectWriter, PerfectCalc, PerfectSpeller and PerfectMailer, along with SBASIC, CP/M and Profit Plan.
