+GENERIC LOADER AND BIOS FOR CP/M PLUS
+FOR CP/M-80 V2.2 SYSTEMS  UNBANKED  NO HASHING
+BIOS PERFORMS BLOCKING/DEBLOCKING
+
+	ORGANIZATIONAL COMMENTARY
+	This BIOS is designed to be the user's first step
+in making an upgrade from CP/M-80 v2.2 to CP/M Plus v3.0.
+This BIOS will function properly in most CP/M-2 systems,
+even those with the BIOS in PROM.
+
+FUNCTION:
+	This PROGRAM implements an UNBANKED, NON-HASHED,
+UNBUFFERED BIOS for CP/M Plus version 3.0.
+
+METHOD:
+	CP/M Plus allows many levels of sophistocation in
+the implementation of the BIOS.  At the highest levels,
+the BIOS allows CP/M Plus to manage a potentially large
+memory pool which acts like an instant access disk drive,
+a substantial performence enhancement.  At the lowest level,
+the performance of CP/M Plus is the same as that of CP/M-80
+version 2.2.  This interface program is a simple implementation
+of a CP/M Plus BIOS which operates as a parasite to the user's
+existing BIOS for CP/M-80 version 2.2.
+
+PURPOSE:
+	This BIOS allows the CP/M-80 v2.2 user to easily
+upgrade to CP/M Plus v3.0 and enjoy its logical enhancements
+at the same level of performance he has enjoyed with v2.2.
+This BIOS can be an end-point since system performance
+will be satisfactory.  For users who own the hardware
+required to implement hashing and buffering, this BIOS
+will serve as a welcome starting point for further enhancement.
