Support the CCP / command-line environment

Can someone please add a "How to" Wiki?

I've compiled a build in XCode, and moved it to my applications, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

Just double click on a .COM file and open it with the application.

THANK You! I finally figured that part out. Is it alright if I create a Wiki once I have this all sorted out?

Also, is there any way to load up the CP/M 2 OS? I have a few .COM's from the Kaypro II, but I get ERROR: DISK READ, LOAD ADDRESS 0100 for LOAD.COM. I guess I really want my old CP/M operating environment back. Is this only meant for running single applications?

I can't get the CCP.COM to do anything... and can't figure out how to run .COMs that need arguments (like ASM or DUMP). I must be missing something, but can't figure out what.

There's presently no CCP.COM; the vague plan has been to get to a level of compatibility where either the original or one of the public domain third-party replacements would just run, then include that. It's probably time for one of my periodic checks again.

Not being able to launch a CCP makes it impossible to use utilities such as TEX.COM which expect a source file name on the command line.

Other than that nit it is nice to have CP/M on our Mac!
