      I've had a Commodore 128 for several years now and the CP/M disks that    came with it have been sitting in a disk box on a shelf in my room nearly un-
touched (except for those few times when, out of boredom, I booted them up,     played around with them for a few minutes, then reset the machine & loaded up   Bard's Tale or whatever game I was into that particular month).
      Anyway, I'd like to try to start learning a little about CP/M in between  all the other projects I constantly find myself starting out on.  Is there a    decent (inexpensive) book that's not too hard to come by that can teach me
the basics?
      What CP/M systems is c128 cp/m compatible with?  How can I download files onto a cp/m formatted disk (do I need a special term prog, or do I have to down-load them and then convert them somehow?)

      Answers and introductions will be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks, 
      Don
