Now comes the questions, I don't know the commands
for CPM does anyone know
of a good intro to ccp?
There are only a few internal commands. Since MS-DOS was based directly
on CP/M, the commands are similar.
There are plenty of folk here who will step forward and let you know if I
got any of them wrong.
All others are programs that you can find with DIR. Even copying a
file! (PIP NEWFILE = OLDFILE)
The internal commands: (what won't show in a DIR):
DIR
ERASE
REN (Rename a file: REN NEWNAME = OLDNAME)
TYPE
USER (Switch to different user number, which is a little similar to
partitioning a drive in MS-DOS)
I'm hoping to get a book on CP/M soon.
For
user level, there were some books by Rodney Zaks.
Dr. Dobbs once had an article "CP/M command Summary". I'll bring a xerox
of it to VCF.
For programming info, try "CP/M Systems Programming" by Larry Hughes.
