Once you've installed CP/M you're left with an empty disk. You'll need some applications before you can do anything very useful.

Luckily there are a bunch of sites on the Internet providing archives of old CP/M utilities and applications.

DOWNLOAD.COM

This is a simple utility originally written by Grant Searle to stream a sequence of Hex bytes into a file on a CP/M disk. I've modified is slightly. This will be the first thing you want

I've written a command utility that will take any file and emit a hex stream in the correct format for download.com. This is a simple Javascript Node.JS application. The hex is sent to stdout so you can capture this into an archive file.
