From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  CP/M /C-P-M/ n. [Control Program/Monitor; later {retcon}ned 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}.
