I've had a Commodore 128 for several years now and the CP/M disks that came with it have been sitting in a disk box on a shelf in my room nearly un- touched (except for those few times when, out of boredom, I booted them up, played around with them for a few minutes, then reset the machine & loaded up Bard's Tale or whatever game I was into that particular month). Anyway, I'd like to try to start learning a little about CP/M in between all the other projects I constantly find myself starting out on. Is there a decent (inexpensive) book that's not too hard to come by that can teach me the basics? What CP/M systems is c128 cp/m compatible with? How can I download files onto a cp/m formatted disk (do I need a special term prog, or do I have to down-load them and then convert them somehow?) Answers and introductions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Don
