H86 file extension - CP/M data

What is h86 file? How to open h86 files?

File type specification:

System file type icon System file type

The h86 file extension is associated with the CP/M operating system developed by Digital Research, Inc.

CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers) is an operating system originally created for Intel 8080/85 based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc.

Initially confined to single tasking on 8-bit processors and no more than 64 kilobytes of memory, later versions of CP/M added multi-user variations, and were migrated to 16-bit processors.

The h86 file stores some kind of data used by CP/M.

This h86 file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

An operating system for 8-bit computers. It looks rather like DOS to use this is hardly surprising because DOS was copied from CP/M in about 1980.

CP/M was developed by Dr. Gary Kildall from Digital Research. CP/M as a first system, which used standard 8.3 (8 characters for file name + 3 characters for file extension used to identify file type) naming of files. Killdall can be considered as father of file extensions.

Help how to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .h86 file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
