	CP/M is ~~in three parts~~. ~~The console command processor~~ (CCP~~) which~~ handles your input from the "A>" prompt~~. The basic disk operating system (BDOS) and the basic input/output system (BIOS)~~.		CP/M is divided into 3 components:
			* BIOS (Basic Input/Output System): It consists of input/output routines. It manages data transfer between the CPU and various peripherals.
			* BDOS (Basic Disk Operating System): It directs the activities of the disk controller and manages the file allocation on the disk. It allocates memory space under a file name.
			* CCP (Console Command Processor: It handles your input from the "A>" prompt.
