CP/M - THE PROGRAM WHICH OPERATES THE KAYPRO
Your KAYPRO computer uses the CP/M (Control Program for Microprocessors)
operating system. Most CP/M functions operate without your being aware of
them, but a few utility files can be used under your control.
Three important "automatic" components of CP/M are:
BDOS, the Basic Disk Operating System, which handles files on diskettes;
BIOS, the Basic
.
Input/Output System, which communicates with printers and
other peripheral devices; and
CCP, the Console Command Program, which communicates between you, the
user at the keyboard, and the internal processing of the computer.
