CP/M is a generic but there are distinct flavors so...
First off it's not a MS product and sources can be had. For the
8080/z80 crowd there is literally a mountain of free software out there.
For the 8088/6 and 80x86 family MS managed to snuff it out before much
was developed. CPM-86 uses a different directory than MSDOS.
Now... there are CPM for PC products like CCPM, DRdos7 and OpenDOS
and they are dos replacements based off the outgrowth of CP/M-86.
Caldara is one source. They offer things dos didn't do and most are
available as sources.
