+MP/M-86 is created in four different stages:
+
+1) Kernal and A86 files:
+
+    A)	The A86 assembly modules that make up the operating system
+	are assembled on an 8080, Z-80, or 8086 based micro using ASM86.
+	GENCMD is run on each file and then they are renamed to type
+	MPM.  These modules are:
+
+	SUP.MPM, RTM.MPM, MEM.MPM, CIO.MPM, BDOS.MPM, XIOS.MPM
+
+    B)	RSP files are like the MPM files above, they are renamed
+	CMD files.  The H86 files are the output of ASM86.
+
+	TMP.RSP, ECHO.RSP, CLOCK.RSP, SUBMIT.CMD, LDBDOS.H86, LDMPM.H86,
+	LDBIOS.H86
+
+    C)	Files on the distribution diskettes created by combining
+	the above files.  The end user can also create these files.
+
+	MPM.SYS, MPMLDR.CMD 
+ 
+
+2) Utilities compiled on the VAX
+
+	There are several directories on the VAX of utility source.
+	Submit jobs, using files of type COM, are run on the vax
+	to compile, link, located and 'H86' the utilities.
+	These submit jobs can be initiated from a micro via
+	submit jobs run under MP/M II - see the files
+	with names such as COMALL.SUB or COMMIX.SUB.
+	Once the utilities are compiled on the VAX,
+	submits are run under MP/M II to upload and gencmd
+	the H86 files - see the files with names such as GENALL.SUB,
+	GENMIX.SUB.
+
+	The utilities created in this manner are:
+
+	ABORT.CMD, ATTACH.CMD, ASM86.CMD, CONSOLE.CMD, DIR.CMD
+	DSKRESET.CMD, ED.CMD, ERA.CMD, ERAQ.CMD, GENSYS.CMD,
+	MPMSTAT.CMD, MPMSTAT.RSP, PIP.CMD, REN.CMD, SDIR.CMD,
+	SET.CMD, SHOW.CMD, SPOOL.CMD, STAT.CMD, STOPSPLR.CMD,
+	TOD.CMD, TYPE.CMD
+	
+
+3) Utilities compiled on a micro
+
+	These PL/M programs are compiled under CP/M running the ISIS
+	interface.  They are:
+
+	DDT86.CMD, GENCMD.CMD, GENDEF.CMD 
+
+
+4) Text and source files included on the distribution diskettes:
+
+	DEBLOCK.LIB, ROM.A86, SINGLES.DEF, SINGLES.LIB, SYSDAT.LIB,
+	SYSTEM.LIB, TMP.A86, XIOS.A86, ROM.A86

+Source and compiled and assembled list files are on the VAX in
+sub-directories of DRB0:[FRANK.MPM86].
