This package allows to access CP/M file systems similar to the well-knownmtools package, which accesses MSDOS file systems. It can be used for fileexchange with a Z80-PC simulator, but it works on floppy devices as well.

Currently it contains:

• cpmls - list sorted directory with output similar to ls, DIR, P2DOS DIRand CP/M3 DIR
• cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M file systems
• cpmrm - erase files from CP/M file systems
• cpmchmod - change file permissions
• cpmchattr - change file attributes
• mkfs.cpm - make a CP/M file system
• fsck.cpm - check and repair a CP/M file system
• fsed.cpm - view CP/M file system
• manual pages for everything including the CP/M file system format

All features of CP/M file systems are supported.

You will need an ANSI standard C compiler, prefered is the GNU CC.Optional you can build against the disk image librarylibdsk.You should by able to compile and work out of the box on each POSIXcompliant system (Linux, BSD and MacOS). It can be additionallycompiled for Win32 or Cygwin systems.

sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

Only when you want to compile against the disk image library libdsk:

sudo apt-get install libdsk4-dev### OR: libdsk5-dev

git clone https://github.com/lipro-cpm4l/cpmtools.gitcd cpmtools

./configuremake allsudo make install
