The Commodore C128 CP/M disk was distributed that way for people with
single-sided drives.  It is expected that the user will copy those
files onto a double-sided disk if his drive supports that.  If he has
only one drive, there are several single-drive copy programs available
that will do the job.  One is MFT48, available from many RCP/M
systems, local user groups, or the CP/M RoundTable on General Electric
Information Service's GEnie.
