Summary
A book titled "The Byte Guide to CP/M-86", by Mark Dahmke, published by McGraw-Hill 1980.
From Preface: "CP/M has become the de facto standard operating system for the 8080, 8085, Z80, and 8086/8088 microprocessors. "De facto" does not necessarily imply best. CP/M on the 8080 or Z80 has its particular problems. CP/M-86 (the subject of this book) carries forward some of those problems. FOr the most part, CP/M has been a positive influence in the world of microcomputers because it helped to standardize software. It is now possible to buy any of hundreds of "CP/M compatible programs," load them, and realistically expect them to work."
