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 cur-
     rent disk and user number appear in the prompt and can be changed by enter-
     ing 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 restrict 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 direction (to or from CP/M).

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