	CP/M - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CP/M is an operating system created for Intel 8080/85 and Zilog Z80 based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc.
		CP/M's command line interface, implemented in the CCP (Command Control Processor), was patterned after the operating systems from Digital Equipment, such as RSTS/E for the PDP-11.
		The best selling CP/M capable system of all time was probably the Commodore 128, although few people actually used its CP/M abilities.

		Developing and debugging an operating system is a tough job, and it always takes longer than you thought it would (probably because if you were realistic about estimating the true time and effort it will take, you wouldn't have the heart to begin).
		The entire operating system took only 8K of the computer's memory, and would run in a mere 16K of total memory with room left over for any of its system development utilities to run.
		And it was the applications that moved this operating system out of the realm of the computer enthusiasts and into the hands of "real users" (people who don't care if their computers are powered by hamsters, so long as they run their necessary applications reliably).

	GEM
		GEM is known primarily as the GUI for the Atari ST series of computers, and somewhat less well known as the operating system for a series of PC-like computers from Amstrad.
		GSX consisted of two parts: a selection of routines for common drawing operations, and the device drivers that are responsible for handling the actual output (the later was known as GDOS, a play on the earlier driver-layer in in CP/M known as BDOS).
		The resulting OS was called TOS by Atari, and was the operating system for the Atari ST.

		LNW-CP/M Disk system permits both single and double density, 5 and/or 8 inch disks, however, it is a double density environment and system disks have to be double density.
		When the system reboots (at the termination of the submit), this command file is read by the CCP as a source of input rather than the console.
		It will generate the system tracks configured for the target diskette, from the system diskette presumed to be in drive A. If the target diskette is drive A, then the user will be prompted for the correct disk to be inserted.

	Gary Kildall's Later Work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The success of Gary Kildall’s CP/M operating system for many years during the 1970s established his reputation as a key player in the development of computers.
		According to David Raymond, he became an alcoholic after his losses in the operating system market, dressed up as a biker, and met a group of real bikers in a biker bar.
		Kildall will always be credited as the inspiration for the modern operating system, the creator of BIOS, and the one who could have been great.

		An operating system can be defined as a set of instructions (program) to control fundamental internal computer activity, such as accessing memory, controlling peripherals, etc.
		CP/M is the most popular operating system and has reached the status of a de facto standard in the microcomputer industry.
		We must understand that the work an operating system does is very necessary but often very invisible.

	From backyard to big time; the history of CP-M.
		Because these firms manufactured "add-on" components that could be used on virtually any system, owners of Altairs, Vectors, Polys, and others did not have to wait for the manufacturers of their computers to get around to producing drives.
		CP/M-80 was one of the few operating systems that could run on just about any 8080- or Z80-based microcomputer, and was not restricted to one type of disk drive.
		From the modest beginnings of CP/M, it has become the most widely used operating system for microcomputers (and possibly for all computers if number of installations are counted instead of number of users).

		Before the advent of the hard drive for PCs, floppy disks were often used to store a computer's operating system (OS), application software, and other data.
		One unsuccessful attempt in the late 1990s to continue the floppy was the SuperDisk (LS120) with a capacity of 120 MB while the drive was backward compatible with standard 3½-inch floppies.
		The new system used a different recording format that stored up to 256 KB on the same disks, and was read-write.

		When you add ZCPR3, you get an operating system that is compatible with CP/M programs (with a very few exceptions) but is more powerful and more flexible than CP/M ever was.
		The CP/M operating system is divided into three parts: the CCP (console command processor), BDOS (basic disk operating system) and BIOS (basic input/output system).
		A standard CP/M operating system uses about 9K out of your total 64K of RAM (random access memory), leaving about 55K for programs to run in.

	Digital Research - SPA Award to Gary Kildall
		Years ahead of its competitors, DRI introduced operating systems with windowing capability, pre-emptive multi-tasking, and menu-driven user interfaces.
		Kildall also created the first microprocessor operating system, CP/M, which eventually sold a quarter-million copies, becoming one of the highest-selling operating systems in its time.
		Kildall isolated the system-specific hardware interfaces of his operating system within a set of "basic I/O system" routines, so applications code would be fully machine independent.

		Prior to the invention of the computer, most people who felt that humans should abandon the decimal system for something else favored the duodecimal (base twelve) system, primarily because twelve is divisible by two, three, four, and six.
