The present release of CP/M-8000 you have just recieved is slightly 
restructured. the bios assembly modules have been setup for conditional
assembly through 2 modules their names are lbiosasm.8kn and biosasm.8kn
these have one equate which controls the differences between the loader
specific and normal bios assembler modules. By doing these modules this
way the system is reduced by 2k in size and removes the need for duplicate
files. 

The bios.c module has changed little; added are simple protocall on the 
serial port. I have also run in to a problem with the new ZCC compiler
the -D option no longer works so now the loader define must be set to 1 
at the beginning of bios.c in order to produce a LOADER BIOS.

COPY.Z8K is now provided with the system

A new and working DDT.Z8K that portable and supports floatin point instructions 
note that there is a new entry in the bios memory region table for ddt..

A new version of the C compiler which fixes numerous bugs in all programming 
areas. 

A much faster ld8k is provided

A asz8k that supports floating point 

Numerous bug fixes to the library 

At a later date their will be a Segmented library provided
a newer compiler, assembler,and linker.
