CP/M on HP-87

RE: CP/M on HP-87
I got an HP 86B and a CP/M module for it, but until now I didn't use CP/M.
But I would like to understand what the tools you are talking about can do.
I guess it is a software that enables DOS computers to read HP86/87 prerecorded CP/M disks?

Is there a converter tool that translates CP/M files ( coming from a x86 PC environment ) to the format that can be read by HP 86/87 with CP/M?
That would hugely increase the amount of CP/M software for the HP 86/87.

I know that the CP/M files on a HP 86/87 CP/M disk are incorporated in a single LIF-file ( since even under CP/M the HP 86/87 uses its regular LIF file handling drivers for disk access, like it does from BASIC ), but I don't know the details of the structure of the CP/M LIF container files.

By the way: Is there a source for HP 86/87 CP/M programs ?
