Unfortunately CP/M format is not yet supported by CiderPress, so you'll
have to use a bunch of command line tools. The "cpmtools" are fairly good.

Note that this is a source code package, on Linux or MacOS X that should
be no problem, if you're stuck with a MS Windows system you'll have to
get a compiler and compile them yourself. Mingw, VC++ and Borland should
work according to the docs, but I haven't tested any of them as Linux
does the job for me.
With these tools it's fairly easy to manipulate Apple CP/M disk images
(and lots of others), including moving files from or to them. Just read
the documentation.
