The Programmer's CP/M Handbook Source Code Examples
Version 1.0  August 18, 1983
(c) 1983 Johnson-Laird Inc.

We have tried to include as many of the examples from the CP/M 
Programmer's Handbook as was possible to fit onto 2 single-sided
single-density diskettes (or alternately, 1 single-density 
double-sided "flippy" diskette).  Our original intention was to 
include the source code for every figure in the book as well as all 
the example listings in Chapter 5.  Since this proved to be impossible 
to fit onto two diskettes, we have chosen those figures and examples 
which we felt would be the most useful.  The only major omission is 
Figure 9-4 which deals with bad sector management. 

We have fixed one bug and added one line to Figure 8-10.  This is 
noted in the source code.  The lines which were left out in the book 
after page 261 are also included. You may notice some minor 
differences in capitalization, indentation, etc. in the comments where 
we have not included changes made in copyediting.

We would appreciate hearing from you, especially about any bugs, 
typos, other horrible goofs, suggestions for improvements.
