Thanks, Steve! I didn't truly appreciate CP/M until I decided to start
mucking about in Assembler. I just got my first assembly program working
in CP/M, yay and it's easy enough to just do the editing on my PC using
sublime (after figuring out how to get 8 charater tabs and not spaces),
dos2unix, and with import export it's swell. VEDIT works too, but it's
faster to do the editing on the pc.
Later,
Will

These programs access a "TPDD". Filenames are 8.3 format,

I broke down and started reading the manuals (REXCPM, CP/M 2.2,

answers I figured out for posterity or the next clueless newb who
comes along.

2. CP/M works from RexCPM, which is great, cuz CP/M recognizes
more memory:
64K CP/M 2.2 M100 CP/M + REXCPM 2MB 1.0
Yes, it does recognize more memory and it serves up an A: drive
that's a big chunk of that 2MBs. Solid. Talked about here:
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=M100_CP/M
My questions are as follows:
4. In CP/M, how do I get back to MENU?
Duh, F8 :).
5. When I start CP/M, is it just running CP/M against the M100's
memory or am I in some special whizbang virtual environment where
I have additional disks available somehow?
It's a whizbang environment for sure - 64K ram and a nearly 2MB A:
drive.
As for my broken ASM, another duh, thanks John for the tip - I
need to write a CP/M friendly program that call it's routines and
not the ROM calls.
CP/M seems the way to go, though. It kinda reminds me of RT11, but
with ASM instead of MACRO11. ed... well, after you figure out
that you need to retrieve the file contents into the buffer, it
kinda makes sense - nice video - I love ED:

Still need to figure out how to get files into and out of cp/m
though...
Off to read some more.
