Subject: CP/M (PD?) Software

I recently obtained Atari's CP/M emulator for the Atari ST.  It seems to work
reasonably well.  But I do need some software including a Z80 assembler, a
C compiler, and a good text editor.  I'm willing to pay (but how would I get it
on Atari's ST CP/M format disks?) but public domain stuff would be fine.  Are
there any BBS's in the US (preferably in Calif/SF Bay Area) that have such
software?  If I have to pay, what would be a good fast assembler, not to
fancy, but fast turn around time?  How about a fast WS compatible editor?  Any
help that you can provide would be great.

Thanks,

I  have  my  Concurrent  CP/M-86  up  and  running on a Commodore
256-80.

Unfortunately, I did not receive a HEXCOM pgm  with  the  utility
disk  and  because  of  the  BIOS,  none  of  the terms currently
available will run.

I do have a term called Move-It which will allow  me  to  capture
files  to  buffer then save to disk.  Gaagin unfortunately, I can
only download ascii files.

Now to the real problem.  Can anyone tell me how to  convert  HEX
files  to  binary files without HEXCOM?  I think DDT should work,
but I didn't get any literature with  the  disk.   (The  joys  of
owning  an  unsupported  machine)  I  have tried the standard DDT
commands and to no avail.  I have an asm utility that  runs  fine
so  I  have  been  downloading ASM and HEX files.  I would really
like to try some of the very good utilities that are available.

Thanks in advance,

John

Ref my ealier msg.  I now have found that most utilities will run
on this machine.  Only  problem  is  getting  a  CMD  file  over.
Hexify  seems  to  work  until  I use my form of Hexcom (gencmd).
When I try to convert to cmd file, then run machine locks up.

Anyone have any ideas??

I need some way of getting cmd (com) files to my machine,I cannot
download binary files yet.
