  • Link to CP/M 3.0 distribution with patches?

    From Michael Narigon@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 11 09:52:03 2023
    Can someone point me to a CP/M 3.0 distribution with all the DR patches? I am configuring a new system with CP/M 3.0 and would like to have a baseline starting with what one would have received from DR.
    Thanks, Michael

    While not official there's this:

    http://www.cpm.z80.de/download/cpm3bin.zip

    from http://www.cpm.z80.de/binary.html


    README.1ST:


    CP/M 3
    ======

    This archive contains an almost complete build of CP/M 3.

    If you have the source distribution, the file MAKING.DOC explains how to
    set up the build environment on your computer.

    Differences from Digital Research CP/M 3 ========================================

    All the CP/M 3 patches described in the document CPM3FIX.PAT have been applied to the source code, except those to INITDIR. Patches 1-18 (except
    nos. 5 and 9) were applied.

    CP/M 3 is now fully Year 2000 compliant. This affects the programs
    DATE.COM, DIR.COM and SHOW.COM.

    Dates can be displayed in US, UK or Year-Month-Day format. This is set by SETDEF:

    SETDEF [US]
    SETDEF [UK]
    SETDEF [YMD] respectively.

    The CCP has a further bug fix: A command sequence such as:

    C1
    :C2
    :C3

    will now not execute the command C3 if the command C1 failed.

    What's missing?
    ===============
    INITDIR.COM - because it is written in PL/I and I can't make the
    PL/I compiler at <http://cdl.uta.edu/cpm> compile it.
    Apparently a more recent version of the compiler is
    required.

    On z80pack I have build everything including initdir, dokumentation: https://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/z80pack/doc_cpm3_src.html

    Thank you both. That is what I was looking for.

    Udo, we have to thank you but one question - is the (original) command processor (not ZCPR or similar) included?

    Yes of course, these are DRI only sources with the known patches applied, no third party software included.
