hi, i am the proud new owner of a Morrow CP/M machine!!

i have been enjoyably loading some software from simtel to
my mainframe account. i have a few questions about CP/M:

1) what is the archive program for .ARK's, .LIB's, etc

2) are there any pascal or c compilers out there that i could run
   and if so, how much would it cost for me to purchase them.

what do people recommend for a 2 drive system for shareware software
(remember its a Morrow, not a kaypro, etc) the cpu is a 4mhz Z80

point of interest: are there any benchmark programs out there (preferably in
z80 assembly to give it its best showing) i am curious.


thanx a lot.

p.s. i have found, so far, that the cp/m community is by far the nicest
     group of pc owners yet. i have recieved much help in setting things
     up on my computer. many thanx to all.
