You can convert any binary file to intel hex and use pip to save the file, 
LOAD.COM will then convert the hex file back to binary.

CP/M documentation is available from (including pip docs):

http://www.cpm.z80.de/

Gaby's site is also useful to make sure you have clean copies of all the 
utilities.  MOVCPM.COM usually has the manufacturers CBIOS built in and 
should not be changed unless you are familiar with installing your own. 
Lately I have seen two requests for CP/M help on comp.os.cpm that ended up 
being corrupted copies of STAT.COM.  One was CP/M 2.2 the other was CP/M-68K 
both found what they needed from Gaby's site.

The first thing you should copy is a file transfer program (modem software).

There are lots of programs for that (modem7, move-it, etc).

Move-it is available on my site.

If you are interested in CP/M you may want to try out comp.os.cpm.
