 Is the user interface different?  Yes.  Is it CP/M, still?  Yes. 
Nifty, Allison!

Now you understand where I get the idea that CP/M can do anything or
at a minimum will not get in the way!  When you consider the bdos is
3.5k and the bios can be smaller than 512bytes it's a pretty powerful
package in 4k.  The rest is user programming.
