A0>TYPE WELCOME.TXT Welcome to the *HUMONGOUS* CP/M Software Archives, a humongous collection of all the great CP/M software repositories of the past. We aim to be your one-stop shop for CP/M software. If you can't find it here, it probably can't be found. And if you do find something we don't have, let us know. We just hate it when someone has something we don't.
