NAME
       cdm - CP/M disk manager

SYNOPSIS
       cdm file...

DESCRIPTION
       cdm gives access	to the CP/M disk images	used by	yaze(1).  With cdm you
       can  create  disks,  copy  files	to and from the	Unix file system, list
       files and erase files from the CP/M disk.

OPTIONS
       Any files listed	on the cdm command line	are taken to be	existing  CP/M
       disk files and they are mounted successively to drive A,	B, C, ... etc.

       The format of CP/M disk files (<CPM_Disk>) is described in yaze.doc and
       yaze-ag.doc.

INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
       The  interactive	 interface  to cdm mimics an extended CP/M clone.  The
       current disk and	user number appear in the prompt and can be changed by
       entering	DU: as a command, where	D is any mounted disk letter (a	..  p)
       and  U  is  a  user number (cdm allows 0	.. 31, although	you should re-
       strict yourself to numbers under	16 to remain compatible	with CP/M).

       DU: can also be prefixed	to any filename, to indicate that it is	not on
       the current disk/user.  Two pseudo disks	can be referenced in the  copy
       command:	 u  and	 t.   These  refer  to	files in the Unix file-system.
       `u:file'	refers to a binary Unix	file and `t:file'  refers  to  a  text
       Unix file.  The difference is that u: files are copied verbatim whereas
       t: files	undergo	CRLF and ^Z processing appropriate for the copy	direc-
       tion (to	or from	CP/M).

       Command	names  can  be shortened to a unique abbreviation.  If cdm was
       compiled	with GNU Readline, command-line	editing,  filename  completion
       and history recall are available	- see the readline documentation.
