Dear CP/M users, gurus, and gods:
  
   I have just purchased a Commodore 128 microcomputer that has a Z-80
chip in it.  It comes with a version of CP/M, and some basic programs
such as DIR, and ERASE, etc...
   However, all the files I see are in the ASM form, or in BAS or PAS

I like to develop software, but do not have any money to buy a whole
bunch of compilers...I have gotten a copy of KERMIT to download
software with, and I need public domain interpreters/compilers for
C, Basic, Pascal, FORTRAN, FORTH, even COBOL if it's free....
   Can someone point me toward the nearest ASM-->EXE converter for 
my machine????
                        THANKS, ETERNALLY,
