CP/M /C-P-M/ n. [Control Program/Monitor; later retconned to Control
Program for Microcomputers] An early microcomputer OS written by
hacker Gary Kildall for 8080- and Z80-based machines, very popular in
the late 1970s but virtually wiped out by MS-DOS after the release of
the IBM PC in 1981. Legend has it that Kildall's company blew its chance
to write the OS for the IBM PC because Kildall decided to spend a day
IBM's reps wanted to meet with him enjoying the perfect flying weather
in his private plane. Many of CP/M's features and conventions strongly
resemble those of early DEC operating systems such as {TOPS-10,
OS/8, RSTS, and RSX-11. See {MS-DOS, operating system.
