The [[CP/M]] operating system had an associated file system format.

A CP/M file system would typically reside on a [[floppy disk]], or more rarely a [[hard disk]]. As such, such filesystems are also likely to reside in [[Disk Image Formats|disk images]] these days.

Some salient features of the CP/M filesystem (see also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M#File_system Wikipedia]):
* 8.3 filenames, like (original) DOS
* No directory hierarchy (unlike DOS filesystems) -- all files are in a single flat
* However, files are divided into a set of numbered "user areas" (conventionally 0-15)

== Tools ==

* Michael Haardt's [http://www.moria.de/~michael/cpmtools/ cpmtools] (source code for Unix and Win32 executables)
** This has long been packaged for Debian and Ubuntu Linux, so installing it there is as simple as <tt>apt-get install cpmtools</tt>
