 CP/M - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CP/M is an operating system created for Intel 8080/85 and Zilog Z80 based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc.
CP/M was originally distributed on 8 inch floppy disks, and ran on the Intel 8080 CPU (as well as the compatible and very popular Zilog Z80).
The combination of CP/M and S-100 bus computers patterned on the MITS Altair was an early "industry standard" for microcomputers, and was widely used through the late 1970s and into the mid-80s.

 QDOS: Definition and Much More From Answers.com
CP/M was by far the most popular operating system in use at the time, and IBM felt it needed CP/M in order to compete.
As a result, IBM turned to Microsoft, since Microsoft was a CP/M subcontractor, sold a plug-in Z80 board that made the Apple II capable of running CP/M and, having ported their BASIC to SCP's bare 8086 hardware already had experience with writing OS-level code for this processor and in general.
QDOS was created because sales of SCP's 8086 computer kit, demonstrated in June 1979 and shipping in November, were languishing due to the absence of an operating system.

 Operating System Concepts
The capabilities of the operating system are largely dependent on the environment we are operating under.
An operating system is responsible for managing the resources of the computer.
System calls and philosophy are very similar between UNIX and C. And most books on programming (C, RatFor,...) by Bell Labs staff used UNIX utility programs as examples.

CP/M Operating System

CP/M was originally written for use on machines built around the Intel 8080 microprocessor, but due to its great popularity four major incarnations came into being.
This meant that the constraints on the systems were the actual ones built into the specific hardware, rather than those of the original hardware i.e.
CP/M (higest revision 2.2, for simple systems built around the Intel 8080, Intel 8085, National Semiconductors NSC800, or Zilog Z80 microprocessors)

The routines you modify may be the very ones that are used to enter data or display the results and with bad luck it's possible to 'crash' the system in some really spectacular ways!
