DDTZ v2.7 |
|||
by C.B. Falconer |
|||
edited by George A. Havach |
|||
|
|||
Introduction: |
|||
============ |
|||
DDTZ v2.7 is a complete replacement for DDT, Digital Research's |
|||
famous Dynamic Debugging Tool, with improved functionality, bug |
|||
extermination, and full Z80 support. In general, DDTZ is fully |
|||
compatible with the original utility, but it has extra and |
|||
extended commands and many fewer quirks. All Z80-specific |
|||
instructions can be (dis)assembled, though in Intel rather then |
|||
Zilog format. Furthermore, DDTZ will correctly trace ('T' and 'U' |
|||
commands) both 8080 and Z80 instructions, depending on which CPU |
|||
is operating. On startup, the program announces which CPU it is |
|||
running on. |
|||
|
|||
DDTZ v2.7 now handles the 64180 added opcodes. It does NOT test |
|||
for a 64180 CPU, since this cannot be done without executing |
|||
illegal Z80 instructions, which in turn will crash some |
|||
simulators. However v2.7 does not execute any 64180 instructions |
|||
internally, only in the subject program. |
|||
|
|||
This issue supplies the "M" version assembled, to avoid errors |
|||
when switching between MSDOS and CPM systems. The command table |
|||
is updated accordingly. Most CPM users are also MSDOS users, but |
|||
not vice-versa. |
|||
|
|||
The program is invoked by typing |
|||
|
|||
ddtz<ret> |
|||
or |
|||
ddtz [d:]filespec<ret> |
|||
|
|||
In the second form, DDTZ will load the specified file into |
|||
memory starting at 0100H, unless it's a .HEX file that sets its |
|||
own load address. Besides reporting the NEXT free address and |
|||
the PC (program counter) after a successful load, DDTZ also shows |
|||
the number of memory pages needed for a SAVE. Instead of having |
|||
to write all this down, just use the 'X' command at any time to |
|||
redisplay these three values for the current application. |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: loading more code above the NEXT pointer revises these |
|||
values. |
|||
|
|||
As in DDT, when a program is loaded above the area holding the |
|||
'A' and 'U' (and now 'W') command code, these commands are |
|||
disabled, and the extra memory is released to the user. Thus, |
|||
DDTZ can occupy as little as 3K total memory space. Unlike DDT, |
|||
however, DDTZ will not overwrite itself or the system on program |
|||
loads (except .HEX files). |
|||
|
|||
At initialization, the stack pointer (SP) points to a return to |
|||
DDTZ, just like for the CCP. Thus, programs that normally return |
|||
to the CCP will be returned to DDTZ. The 'B' command |
|||
reinitializes this condition. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
The intercept vector copies the BDOS version number, etc., so |
|||
an object program does not know that DDTZ is running (except |
|||
for BIOS-BDOS vector size). Thus, programs that check the version |
|||
number should execute correctly under DDTZ. |
|||
|
|||
All input parameters can now be entered in any of three formats: |
|||
|
|||
(1) hexadecimal (as in DDT), |
|||
(2) decimal, by adding a leading '#' character, |
|||
(3) ASCII, by enclosing between either single or double |
|||
quotes; either one or two characters are allowed. |
|||
|
|||
Leading blanks in command lines and parameters are absorbed. |
|||
Either a comma or a (single) space is a valid delimiter. |
|||
Either uppercase or lowercase input is accepted. |
|||
|
|||
The default command (for anything not otherwise recognizable) |
|||
is 'H'. This allows convenient calculation, along with the other |
|||
features described below. So, to convert a number, just enter |
|||
it! |
|||
|
|||
As in DDT, the prompt character is '-', and the only error |
|||
message is the query ('?'), which generally kicks you back to |
|||
command mode. |
|||
|
|||
New Commands (Over DDT): |
|||
======================= |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: letters in parenthesis, e.g. "(U)", show the equivalent |
|||
command for DDTZM version (compatible with MSDOS debug). |
|||
|
|||
@ Sets or shows (with no parameter) the internally stored |
|||
"base" value. Also used with the 'S' and 'D' commands as |
|||
an optional parameter (though without the '@') to display |
|||
memory from an arbitrary base marker (offset). When set to |
|||
zero (the default), it does not affect any screen displays. |
|||
|
|||
B B)egin: resets the USER stack pointer to its initial value, |
|||
such that any program that exits by an RET will return to |
|||
DDTZ. DDTZ provides a default stack space of |
|||
approximately 24 bytes for user programs. |
|||
|
|||
C C)ompare first_address,last_address,against_address: shows |
|||
all the byte differences between two memory areas, in the |
|||
format |
|||
|
|||
XXXX aa YYYY bb |
|||
|
|||
where XXXX and YYYY are the comparative memory addresses, |
|||
and aa and bb are the corresponding byte values. Can be |
|||
used to verify the identity of two files by first |
|||
loading them into different memory areas with the 'R' |
|||
command (see below). |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
W Write: stores the modified memory area to disk under the |
|||
(K) filename specified by the 'I' command, overwriting the |
|||
original file from which it was loaded (the user is queried |
|||
before doing so). By default, the image of memory from |
|||
0100H through the "NEXT" value -1 is saved. "K first_addr, |
|||
last_address" overrides this and allows writing ANY memory |
|||
area to a file. Almost a necessity for CPM 3.0 (no SAVE!). |
|||
K)eep on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
X eXamine: redisplays the "NEXT PC SAVE" report at any time. |
|||
(Q) Q)uery size on DDTZ. |
|||
|
|||
S S)earch first_address, last_addr, value: searches the |
|||
(W) specified memory area for the value (a 16-bit word, not a |
|||
byte) and shows the locations of all such. Very useful for |
|||
finding CALL's or JMP's to a particular address, etc. |
|||
W)here on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
Y Y)our_option parm1,parm2,address: executes an arbitrary |
|||
routine at the specified address, with the BC and DE |
|||
registers set to parm1 and parm2, respectively. |
|||
|
|||
Z Displays (but does not alter) the Z80's alternate register |
|||
set, including the index registers (disabled if running on |
|||
an 8080). On Z80's, automatically included as the last |
|||
part of the display by the 'X' command. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
Based (Offset) Displays: |
|||
======================= |
|||
|
|||
The 'D' and 'E' commands can use a stored base value (offset), |
|||
as set by the '@' command. The current @ value may be |
|||
overridden for a single execution of these commands by adding the |
|||
base as an extra parameter in the command line. The effect is |
|||
to add this value to the first/last address and display |
|||
accordingly. The address listing on the left becomes XXXX:YYYY, |
|||
where XXXX is the offset address and YYYY is the actual memory |
|||
address being displayed. For example, if you have a data area |
|||
located at 42B7H and wish to preserve easy access, just enter |
|||
"@42b7". Now, "d0,3f" will dump memory starting at 4237H. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
Further Changes from DDT: |
|||
======================== |
|||
|
|||
A A)ssemble now accepts the full Z80 as well as 8080 |
|||
instruction set, although it expects them in Intel rather |
|||
than Zilog format (see notes below under the 'L' |
|||
command). When in doubt, see the mnemnonic list below. |
|||
|
|||
D D)isplay or D)ump will accept an optional third parameter |
|||
to set the base value for a single execution only. Format |
|||
has been cleaned up. |
|||
|
|||
H H)ex_arithmetic on two values also shows their |
|||
difference in decimal. With only one value, converts to |
|||
hexadecimal, decimal, and ASCII (low-order byte only). |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
N N)ame now allows drive specification (d:...) and sets up |
|||
(I) the complete command line, including both FCB's (at |
|||
addresses 005CH and 006CH). The tail (stored at 0081H up) |
|||
is NOT upshifted. |
|||
I)nput on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
U U)nassemble now displays the raw hexcode, especially handy |
|||
(L) when examining non-code areas. Intel (8080 style) mnemonics |
|||
are used, so some disassembled instructions may look |
|||
strange. E.g., the Z80's 'IN B,(C)' and 'OUT (C),B' become |
|||
'INP B' and 'OUTP B', respectively; 'LD (nnnn),BC' becomes |
|||
'SBCD nnnn', 'ADD IX, BC' becomes 'DADX B', and 'JP (IX)' |
|||
becomes 'PCIX'. |
|||
L)ist on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
L L)oad now permits loading a file into memory with an |
|||
(R) offset, which is added to the default load address of |
|||
0100H. When reading in a .HEX file with a preset bias, |
|||
the 'R' command will not transfer control to an invalid |
|||
execution point. Another execution of the 'R' command will |
|||
reread the input file, e.g.: |
|||
|
|||
n blah<ret> |
|||
l<ret> |
|||
...modify the code and generally mess about... |
|||
l<ret> |
|||
|
|||
The original file is reloaded, and the modifications are |
|||
removed. |
|||
R)ead on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
E E)nter, like D)isplay, now accepts an optional second |
|||
(S) parameter to set the base value for a single execution |
|||
only. |
|||
S)ubstitute or S)et on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
T T)rap/trace on termination now shows the complete CPU |
|||
state. Traps and traces no longer lock up when a user RST |
|||
7 instruction is executed. Tracing of BDOS/BIOS calls is |
|||
heavily trun cated, avoiding clutter and preventing system |
|||
crashes. |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: Most of the UNDOCUMENTED Z80 op-codes are handled. Others |
|||
can crash the system. |
|||
|
|||
R R)egisters also shows what two-byte values the HL and SP |
|||
(X) registers are actually pointing to. On Z80's, displays the |
|||
alternate register set. |
|||
eX)amine on DDTZ |
|||
|
|||
NOTE: Any use of the 'W' or 'L' command resets the system DMA |
|||
transfer address to the standard default value of 0080H. |
|||
|

--THE README FILE-- |
|||
------------------------ |
|||
|
|||
README contains late-breaking news and tips about WordStar, |
|||
and information about printers. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
THE DISKS THAT CAME IN YOUR PACKAGE |
|||
----------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
The file HOMONYMS.TXT is included on the Speller disk |
|||
contrary to what is listed in Appendix D. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
INSTALLATION |
|||
------------ |
|||
|
|||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE |
|||
|
|||
WordStar has two installation programs: |
|||
|
|||
o WINSTALL contains the basic choices to install WordStar. |
|||
It is recommended for all users. |
|||
|
|||
Be sure and install your valid disk drives since WordStar |
|||
running under CP/M cannot recover from attempts to access non- |
|||
existent disk drives. |
|||
|
|||
o WSCHANGE contains every installation and customization |
|||
choice. It is designed for advanced users and users who |
|||
want to customize WordStar after they're familiar with it. |
|||
Use the menu listing below for a directory of the menus |
|||
in WSCHANGE. |
|||

|||
MEMORY USAGE |
|||
------------ |
|||
|
|||
WordStar requires a minimum TPA size of 50 kbytes to run |
|||
using the factory defaults. The TPA is the amount of memory |
|||
available in your computer for use by programs that have a |
|||
file type of COM. To see how big the TPA is in your computer, |
|||
press the question mark key (?) at the Opening Menu. |
|||
|
|||
The amount of memory required by WordStar can be reduced by |
|||
approximately 3 kbytes if necessary. Use the WSCHANGE program |
|||
to select the minimum memory configuration option. The menu |
|||
will show you what capabilities are being reduced. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar uses a general-purpose buffer for a variety of |
|||
tasks. WordStar allocates memory to this buffer for editing, |
|||
for merge printing, and at the Opening Menu (see BFSIZE in |
|||
PATCH.LST). The buffer used for editing is usually the most |
|||
sensitive to a reduced TPA size. (You may be able to use the |
|||
Opening Menu and print, but there may be insufficient memory |
|||
for editing.) |
|||
|
|||
The merge print buffer is used only to hold merge print |
|||
variable names and data. Increase it if you run out of memory |
|||
while merge printing. |
|||
|
|||
The Opening Menu buffer is used primarily to hold the file |
|||
directory, and for miscellaneous tasks. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
LOW-MEMORY INDICATOR IN STATUS LINE |
|||
----------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
If the Low-Memory indicator appears in the status line, it |
|||
means that WordStar was unable to complete some function. |
|||
The most common symptoms are: the line number in the |
|||
status line is wrong, or a paragraph alignment could not be |
|||
completed. You may correct the line counter by saving your |
|||
file, exiting WordStar, and re-loading your file. To correct |
|||
the paragraph alignment, move your cursor to the point where |
|||
paragraph alignment stopped, and then press ^B again. |
|||
|
|||
The reason this comes up is that WordStar was not able to fit |
|||
a big enough chunk of text into memory at one time. |
|||
|
|||
When you first begin editing, WordStar uses the value from |
|||
EDSIZE in the user area to determine the minimum amount |
|||
of memory required for a page of text. The default |
|||
is set for approximately a 55 line by 66 column page. If |
|||
your page size is routinely larger than this, you may want |
|||
to increase EDSIZE. Multiply the number of lines by the |
|||
number of columns, and divide by 128. |
|||
|
|||
If the Low-Memory indicator comes on while printing, it is due |
|||
to either the same reasons as for editing, or there is |
|||
insufficient memory to print the text proportionally spaced. |
|||
The amount of memory required depends on which printer |
|||
driver you are using. If you aren't using the .PS ON dot |
|||
command to turn proportional spacing on in your document, |
|||
low memory won't be a problem. Also, WordStar uses more |
|||
memory for merge printing than it does for regular printing |
|||
(around 2.5 kbytes more). |
|||
|
|||
The Low-Memory indicator will also appear when a full disk error |
|||
is encountered during editing. Treat the disk-full error as you |
|||
would normally. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
RAM-RESIDENT PROGRAMS |
|||
--------------------- |
|||
|
|||
RAM-resident programs, such as SmartKey, reduce the amount of |
|||
working memory (TPA) that WordStar can use. The new features in |
|||
WordStar, such as shorthand, may reduce the need for these |
|||
RAM-resident programs, thus freeing memory for WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
ZCPR3 SUPPORT |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
In order to enable the ZCPR facilities within WordStar, the user |
|||
must use the Z3INS utility provided with ZCPR to install the |
|||
address of the ZCPR "environment" into WordStar. The environment |
|||
contains information that WordStar uses to support ZCPR-specific |
|||
functions. |
|||
|
|||
Generally, the user should log onto the drive containing the file |
|||
WS.COM, and issue the command: |
|||
|
|||
Z3INS SYS.ENV WS.COM |
|||
|
|||
The user should also run either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to further |
|||
install WordStar for ZCPR. However, this is not mandatory because |
|||
the only thing that happens is that the WordStar sign-on says |
|||
"ZCPR3," and the LGLUSR location in the user area is changed for a |
|||
maximum user number of 31. (The normal default for LGLUSR is 15.) |
|||
|
|||
Once the user has installed WordStar for use with ZCPR, the user |
|||
will be able to use the following ZCPR features: |
|||
|
|||
- A named directory may be used when logging onto a new drive/user. |
|||
|
|||
- A named directory may be used instead of a drive/user as part |
|||
of any file name. |
|||
|
|||
- The drive/user always appears above file directories. (For CP/M |
|||
only the drive letter is shown if the user number is zero.) |
|||
|
|||
- The directory name also appears above the directory if one has |
|||
been defined for the currently logged drive/user. |
|||
|
|||
- If WordStar does not find its OVR files on the current drive and |
|||
user, it will search the drives and user numbers in the ZCPR |
|||
search path rather than using its standard search pattern. |
|||
|
|||
- WordStar installs itself as a ZCPR "shell" process which lets the |
|||
user enter any legal ZCPR command when running a program. (CP/M |
|||
can only run programs that are COM files.) |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
OSBORNE USERS |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
The command to change a hard carriage return to a soft carriage |
|||
return (document mode) or to turn Auto-indent ON (nondocument |
|||
mode) does not function on the Osborne because of a limitation |
|||
in its BIOS. The following patch can be applied to change the |
|||
command from ^^ to ^- (Ctrl-Hyphen): |
|||
|
|||
Using DDT or SID in the file WSMSGS.OVR: |
|||
|
|||
At 02DA replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 02EF replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 0359 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 06B2 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 06C9 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
|
|||
At the system prompt type SAVE 53 WSMSGS.OVR |
|||
|
|||
For more information on how to use SID or DDT, see your CP/M |
|||
reference guide. As always, be sure and apply the patch to a |
|||
COPY of the file. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWO FLOPPY DISK COMPUTERS |
|||
------------------------------------------ |
|||
|
|||
Do not remove the Program disk while you are using WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
The Printer Driver Library file (WSPRINT.OVR) on the WordStar |
|||
program disk is much smaller than the Printer Driver Library |
|||
file contained on the disk labeled PRINTER. Be sure to read the |
|||
section in "Starting" that discusses the printer library file. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
RUN A PROGRAM |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
Once you press R you can type the drive and user number for the |
|||
program you want to run. You may run only .COM files. CCP commands, |
|||
such as DIR cannot be used. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
INDEXING |
|||
-------- |
|||
|
|||
Using StarIndex |
|||
|
|||
StarIndex 1.01 works with files created with this release of |
|||
WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
"Can't Use That Printer" Message |
|||
|
|||
When WordStar creates an index or table of contents, it uses |
|||
the printer drivers $INDEX and $TOC. If you created a smaller |
|||
WSPRINT.OVR file, you may have left these drivers out. To |
|||
return them to the file, copy the original WSPRINT.OVR file |
|||
onto your disk. When you create a smaller file again, be sure |
|||
to save these drivers. See Appendix C in the WordStar manual |
|||
for a list of other drivers to save. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
SPELL CHECKING |
|||
-------------- |
|||
|
|||
Dual floppy disk users: |
|||
|
|||
Unless you have sufficient room on your working WordStar program |
|||
disk for the files TW.COM, SPELL.COM, MARKFIX.COM, REVIEW.COM and |
|||
MAINDICT.CMP you will not be able to run a spell check from the |
|||
Opening Menu. You will need to exit WordStar and replace the |
|||
working WordStar program disk with the dictionary disk you created |
|||
during installation. This disk should contain the files listed |
|||
above. Make sure the disk in drive B has the file you want to |
|||
spell-check. |
|||
|
|||
Follow the directions for running a spell check in The WORD Plus |
|||
manual. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE |
|||
--------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
This release of WordStar contains many new features and commands. |
|||
See the "What's New" booklet for a complete list. The following |
|||
changes came in too late to be included in the documentation. |
|||
|
|||
Printer Patches |
|||
|
|||
Previous versions of WordStar treat most dot matrix printers |
|||
and other non-daisy wheel printers as a DRAFT printer with a |
|||
few patchable items. Because of this, many users have used |
|||
these patches to be able to use certain features of their |
|||
printers. Sometimes the patches have been quite extensive, and |
|||
some users have many files that count on them. |
|||
|
|||
The printer drivers of WordStar Release 4, on the other hand, |
|||
are very powerful. Almost every driver recognizes all the print |
|||
controls and all the dot commands. In fact, if a document is |
|||
written to be printed on one kind of printer, it is likely that |
|||
it will also print fine on some other printer. |
|||
|
|||
However, if you want to use your existing files with WordStar |
|||
4, and those files rely on the user area being patched in a |
|||
special way, you can probably do so by moving the patches into |
|||
WordStar 4, and using the CUSTOM or SIMPLE printer driver. |
|||
|
|||
On the INSTALL disk is a program called MOVEPRN.COM that |
|||
copies the printer driver portion of the previous release's |
|||
user area into files that can be installed into Release 4 with |
|||
the "auto patcher" feature. |
|||
|
|||
Copy the program MOVEPRN.COM onto the disk containing the |
|||
WS.COM file for the previous version. Type |
|||
|
|||
MOVEPRN WS.COM FILE1.PAT FILE2.PAT |
|||
|
|||
MOVEPRN extracts the proper portions of the user area and |
|||
writes them into two files that may then be used with the "auto |
|||
patcher" feature of WSCHANGE. |
|||
|
|||
FILE1.PAT is to be used with the general patching menu |
|||
(Choose E "Patching" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then A "Auto |
|||
Patcher"). FILE2.PAT should be used to install strings first |
|||
into the SIMPLE driver, and then into the CUSTOM driver (choose |
|||
B "Printer" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then B "Printer driver |
|||
library", D "Change printer driver data" and D "Driver auto |
|||
patcher"). |
|||
|
|||
Test print your document first with the SIMPLE driver, and then |
|||
with the CUSTOM driver to see which one produces the most |
|||
satisfactory results. |
|||
|
|||
Also read Appendix C for more information on using the Auto |
|||
Patcher. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
Hanging Indents |
|||
|
|||
For WordStar Professional Release 4, MailMerge reformats indented |
|||
text created with ^OG to the current margins. If you want the text |
|||
to remain indented, use embedded ruler lines or the .RM, .LM, |
|||
and .PM commands. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. |
|||
|
|||
Pressing ^OG to wrap back to the first tab on the ruler line after |
|||
having reached the last tab works the same way it did in previous |
|||
versions of WordStar, contrary to what is stated in the manual. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
TERMINALS |
|||
--------- |
|||
|
|||
WordStar comes installed for an "idealized" special terminal. |
|||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE allow you to install many terminals by |
|||
name, thus allowing WordStar to take advantage of the special |
|||
features that the terminal might support, such as underlining |
|||
or the function keys. |
|||
|
|||
Use either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to pick your specific terminal |
|||
or computer screen from the Monitor menu. If your terminal |
|||
isn't on the menu, it probably emulates one of those that is |
|||
there. Look in your terminal documentation to find out. |
|||
|
|||
After you install WordStar for the proper terminal, run |
|||
WordStar and open the file PRINT.TST to see which attributes |
|||
(such as bold and underline) work on your screen. |
|||
WordStar will highlight the following in some way... |
|||
|
|||
Bold (^PB) |
|||
Underline (^PS) |
|||
Strike-out (^PX) |
|||
Subscript (^PV) |
|||
Superscript (^PT) |
|||
Doublestrike (^PD) |
|||
Italics (^PY) |
|||
Blocks (^KB, ^KK) |
|||
Error messages |
|||
|
|||
Most of the time, normal text will be shown in dim intensity, |
|||
and highlighted text will be shown in bright intensity. You |
|||
may have to use a brightness and/or contrast knob to adjust |
|||
your screen the first time you use WordStar this way. |
|||
|
|||
If your dim intensity is too dim to see well, and you can't |
|||
adjust it, you can change the BRITE flag to ON using WSCHANGE. |
|||
This will invert bright and dim in your text, so that regular |
|||
text is displayed bright, and highlighted text will be |
|||
displayed as dim. However, text in the menus is not affected. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
DISPLAY PROBLEMS WITH TERMINALS |
|||
------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
Once you have installed WordStar for the proper terminal, you |
|||
may still experience display problems. |
|||
|
|||
If text from the previous screen remains after WordStar |
|||
displays a new screenful of text, the most likely cause is |
|||
cursor wrap. Basically, WordStar must know what happens to the |
|||
cursor when a character is displayed at the rightmost position |
|||
of the screen. It can either remain at the right edge, or it |
|||
can wrap to the beginning of the next line. The WRAP flag in |
|||
WordStar must be set either on or off to correspond to the |
|||
way the terminal works. (It is generally set for the |
|||
terminal's factory default, but the default can usually be |
|||
changed using the terminal's setup mode.) |
|||
|
|||
Another possible cause for display problems is your terminal's |
|||
incomplete emulation of some other terminal. The most |
|||
common differences are... |
|||
|
|||
Line insert (LININS), line delete (LINDEL), |
|||
Erase to end of screen (ERAEOS), |
|||
Erase to end of line (ERAEOL), |
|||
And, erase screen (ERASCR). |
|||
|
|||
Look in the manual for your terminal and use WSCHANGE to see |
|||
if the control sequences match. |
|||
|

|

|
|||
CHOOSING A PRINTER |
|||
|
|||
WordStar is ready to work with over 100 printers. The printer you |
|||
choose during installation becomes your default printer. However, |
|||
when you print a document, you can choose any other printer. To |
|||
choose a default printer, follow these steps: |
|||
|
|||
1. Look at the Printer Information brochure that came in your |
|||
package. The first chart shows the printers listed on the |
|||
Printer Selection Menus. If your printer is on the menu, |
|||
simply choose it during installation. |
|||
|
|||
2. If your printer isn't listed on the menu, it may work like a |
|||
printer that is. Refer to the second chart in the Printer |
|||
Information brochure for a list of printers that work like |
|||
printers on the menu. When WordStar asks you to choose a |
|||
printer, choose the printer that works like yours. |
|||
|
|||
3. If neither chart lists your printer, choose Typewriter Printer |
|||
(if your printer can backspace) or Draft Printer (if it can't). |
|||
These choices may not take advantage of all your printer's |
|||
features, but they will work with almost any printer. |
|||
|
|||
Note: If you choose Draft or Typewriter, you can modify custom |
|||
print controls and printer initialization. |
|||
|
|||
If you want to make more modifications to take advantage of your |
|||
printer's feature, choose the Custom or Simple drivers, then use |
|||
the WS Printer Patches section of WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the |
|||
codes for your printer. Refer to your printer manual for these |
|||
codes. Some printers work better with the Custom driver and some |
|||
with the Simple driver. Try using both and see which works better |
|||
with your printer. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. |
|||
|
|||
SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER |
|||
|
|||
Choosing a Printer Port |
|||
|
|||
Each printer is connected to a printer port at the back of |
|||
the computer. WordStar looks for printers on the LST: port. |
|||
If your printer is connected to a different port, use |
|||
WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the correct port. |
|||
|
|||
Testing Your Printer Connection |
|||
|
|||
At the operating system prompt, type "PIP LST:=READ.ME." This |
|||
file should be printed by your printer. If it is not, your printer |
|||
may be connected to a different port. See your computer reference |
|||
manual, and the section on the STAT command in your CP/M |
|||
reference manual for more information. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
PRINTER DRIVERS |
|||
|
|||
The WSPRINT.OVR file on the Printers disk contains a printer |
|||
driver for each printer on the Printer Selection Menu. The printer |
|||
driver for a printer contains all the codes WordStar needs to work |
|||
with that printer. |
|||
|
|||
Each printer driver has a short name. If you choose a printer when |
|||
you print a document, you see the names of the printer drivers, not |
|||
the names of the printers. |
|||
|
|||
PROPORTIONAL PRINTING |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports proportional printing on a number of printers. |
|||
To turn on proportional printing, either install WordStar to |
|||
default to proportional printing, or place a ".PS on" command |
|||
in your document. At print time, WordStar selects the |
|||
appropriate proportional font based on the character width |
|||
(.CW) currently in effect. |
|||
|
|||
The specific printer descriptions later in this section show |
|||
recommended character widths for proportional typefaces. |
|||
These widths are for a normal mix of upper- and lowercase |
|||
letters. If you have many words or phrases all in uppercase |
|||
or if you want your text less densely printed, choose a larger |
|||
character width. |
|||
|
|||
While WordStar mostly sets character widths based on the |
|||
proportional-width table in the driver, on the more advanced |
|||
daisy wheel printers, WordStar uses the printer's proportional- |
|||
spacing mode. WordStar determines how much white space is needed |
|||
to right-justify the line based on its own proportional width |
|||
tables. If the table values don't match the wheel installed, |
|||
WordStar won't be able to justify the line correctly. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar sends standard ASCII characters; if a proportional wheel |
|||
uses a different spoke mapping, set up the printer to handle this. |
|||
|
|||
LASER PRINTERS |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports laser printer features such as font changes |
|||
and proportional spacing. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports several laser printers: the Canon LPB-8 A1 & A2; |
|||
the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, LaserJet+, and LaserJet 500+; |
|||
and the Ricoh LP4080. Refer to the "Specific Printer |
|||
Information" section of this file for information on these |
|||
printers. General notes about using laser printers are given below. |
|||
|
|||
Paper Size and Margins |
|||
|
|||
Laser printers come with preset page margins. You need to |
|||
compensate for these margins by changing page length in your |
|||
WordStar documents. The chart below shows the recommended |
|||
settings for 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper for both portrait and landscape |
|||
orientations. These settings allow 55 lines of text for portrait |
|||
orientation and 40 lines of text for landscape orientation (at 6 |
|||
lines per inch). They also allow for a footer of up to 3 lines |
|||
and a one-line header. If you use multiple-line headers, adjust |
|||
the top margin accordingly. |
|||
|
|||
Dot Default Portrait Landscape |
|||
Setting Command Value Orientation Orientation |
|||
------- ------- ------- ----------- ----------- |
|||
page length .PL 66 62 47 |
|||
top margin .MT 3 2 2 |
|||
bottom margin .MB 8 5 5 |
|||
header margin .HM 2 1 1 |
|||
footer margin .FM 2 2 2 |
|||
|
|||
If the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE |
|||
to make these settings the defaults. |
|||
|
|||
Because laser printers leave small margins at the left and right |
|||
sides of the page, you may want to use a smaller page offset |
|||
setting (the default is .PO 8). |
|||
|
|||
Form Feeds |
|||
|
|||
When you print with a laser printer, answer Y for yes to the "Use |
|||
form feeds (Y/N)?" prompt at print time. (The default is NO.) If |
|||
the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE to |
|||
change the default to yes. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar Commands for Font Selection |
|||
|
|||
The WordStar dot commands and print control commands listed below |
|||
determine the fonts used for printing a document. |
|||
|
|||
.PR .PR OR=L selects landscape orientation; .PR OR=P (or just |
|||
.PR OR) selects portrait orientation (the default). If |
|||
either of these commands appears after the first printing |
|||
line on a page, the orientation will not change until the |
|||
following page. |
|||
|
|||
.PS .PS ON selects proportionally spaced characters; .PS OFF |
|||
(the default) selects fixed-spaced characters. |
|||
|
|||
.CW The character-width setting (.CW followed by the width in |
|||
120ths of an inch) determines the character pitch and font |
|||
selected for fixed-width printing. For proportional fonts, it |
|||
determines the point size and proportional-width table |
|||
selected. |
|||
|
|||
.LQ .LQ ON selects near letter quality print (if supported by |
|||
your printer). LQ OFF selects draft quality print. Default |
|||
is ON. |
|||
|
|||
^PY The italic print control toggles between normal and italic |
|||
characters when the appropriate italic font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PB The boldface print control toggles between normal and bold |
|||
characters when the appropriate bold font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PD The double strike print control used with the laser printers |
|||
toggles overprinting with a horizontal offset of 1/120" |
|||
between the two character images. This allows a bold effect |
|||
where no bold font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PA ^PA turns alternate pitch on. Use .CW to assign different |
|||
character widths to normal pitch (see ^PN below) and alternate |
|||
pitch so that each pitch accesses a different font. You can |
|||
then change fonts by switching between the two pitches. This |
|||
is the only way to use two fonts on the same line. |
|||
(See "Character width" and "Pitch" in the "Reference Guide.") |
|||
|
|||
^PN ^PN turns normal pitch on. You can use it with ^PA as |
|||
described above. |
|||
|
|||
^P@ When working with columns, if you use alternate and normal |
|||
pitch for two fonts, or if you use proportional spacing, you |
|||
may need to use ^P@ to make sure the columns line up. |
|||
Remember that the column position set with ^P@ is determined |
|||
by the normal pitch character width. (See "Columns" and |
|||
"Proportional spacing" in the "Reference Guide." |
|||
|
|||
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC PRINTERS |
|||
|
|||
This section describes the capabilities of each printer listed on |
|||
the Printer Selection Menu. The printers are listed in alphabetical |
|||

SAMPKEY.DOC: |
|||
Sample Macros for ZDE, 01 June 90 by Carson Wilson. |
|||
|
|||
This file describes the sample macros contained in SAMPKEY.ZDK |
|||
and SAMPKEY.ZDT. As distributed, ZDE contains no Macro Key |
|||
definitions. I have included the SAMPKEY.* files both to give |
|||
you an idea of the versatility available through ZDE's macro |
|||
capability and to provide you with some useful choresaving |
|||
routines. Many of the sample Macros come directly from the ZDE |
|||
Manual, and illustrate the use of conditional testing, jumps, and |
|||
control key entry from within Macros. In addition to being |
|||
educational, most of these "sample" Macros do useful work. While |
|||
you may (and should) define ZDE's Macros to do anything you wish |
|||
(or nothing, if you wish), I think you may find one or more of |
|||
these samples useful just as they are. |
|||
|
|||
To install the macros in SAMPKEY.ZDK (or any .ZDK file) into your |
|||
copy of ZDE, just type "ZDENSTAL ZDE SAMPKEY.ZDK." Then exit |
|||
ZDENSTAL with the <S>ave option. This produces a working copy of |
|||
ZDE.COM with Macro Keys 0 to 9 as defined in the .ZDK file. |
|||
|
|||
To alter or replace the Macros in SAMPKEY.ZDK, first edit the |
|||
text file SAMPKEY.ZDT with ZDE. Then translate SAMPKEY.ZDT into |
|||
a new macro file with the command "ZDKCOM SAMPKEY.ZDT." You can |
|||
also translate .ZDK files back into .ZDT files if you wish; see |
|||
ZDKCOM.DOC for more information. |
|||
|
|||

|

1. Functional Enhancments. |
|||
|
|||
1.1. File Datestamp Capability. |
|||
|
|||
Under ZSDOS, the Create date and time of files edited with |
|||
ZDE are maintained across editions. If .BAK files are being |
|||
created, the create dates of new files will be the same as their |
|||
.BAK files. Note that if a file with the name of a block being |
|||
saved with ^KW or ESC-W already exists, the saved block will have |
|||
the same Create stamp as the (previously) existing file. I hope |
|||
to address this side-effect in future versions by prompting before |
|||
erasing existing files during ^KW commands. |
|||
|
|||
1.2. Named Directory Capability. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE will now accept ZCPR named directories when loading, |
|||
renaming, and erasing files, and when requesting a directory |
|||
listing with the ^KF command. The named directory (if available) |
|||
is also displayed as part of the current file name in the status |
|||
line. |
|||
Since ZCPR directory names can occupy up to eight columns on |
|||
the status line, it was necessary to move the rest of the status |
|||
line over by eight columns. I was able to gain an extra column by |
|||
putting only one space between the filetype and the "[x" |
|||
specifier, but the result is that if your terminal displays less |
|||
than 55 columns the current column number will not be visible in |
|||
your status line. |
|||
This is unfortunate, but the status line is already about as |
|||
compressed as possible. To include all of the information I would |
|||
have to add a second status line for narrow terminals, which would |
|||
add a good deal of code and complexity to what is already a |
|||
complicated program. Since most CP/M terminals (including my own) |
|||
have 80 columns, I have decided in favor of the majority in this |
|||
instance. |
|||
You may also notice that the ^QA prompt "Chg? (Y/N/*)" has |
|||
been shortened to "Chg?" and the "Wait..." message is now "Wait". |
|||
These changes were also necessary because of the decrease in |
|||
available space on the status line. |
|||
|
|||
1.3. Line Queue Capability. |
|||
|
|||
A third functional enhancment is the new ^QQ command, which |
|||
causes ZDE to skip to line numbers stored in ZCPR's user-defined |
|||
message bytes. Under ZCPR3, up to eight line or page numbers may |
|||
be passed to ZDE. The original idea was to use the interface to |
|||
produce a Turbo Pascal-like integrated environment for program |
|||
development, but the interface is certainly not limited to |
|||
programmers. |
|||
The numbers are stored in ZCPR's 16 user-defined message |
|||
bytes, and ZDE treats these bytes as a packed array of up to eight |
|||
elements. ^QQ causes ZDE to cycle through the array, going to the |
|||
stored locations sequentially until the end of the array or a zero |
|||
element is reached, at which point ZDE returns to the first stored |
|||
location. |
|||
The numbers are stored as inverted 2-byte hex words (LSB |
|||
first), so for example to store the lines 12, 44, and 108 a |
|||
program would set the 16 user-defined bytes as follows: |
|||
|
|||
0C 00 2C 00 6C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |
|||
|
|||
In this example, when ZDE reaches the fourth word (00 00) it |
|||
returns to the start of the array and goes to line 12 (0C 00). |
|||
Any ZCPR program, or even an alias (using Jay Sage's powerful |
|||
ARUNZ parameters) can now give ZDE the locations of up to eight |
|||
line numbers of interest. With a little imagination we could |
|||
probably create an integrated text search/edit environment which |
|||
searches multiple files for a string and points ZDE to the exact |
|||
location of each match for editing. Thanks to Cameron Cotrill and |
|||
Al Grabauskas for suggesting this feature. |
|||
|
|||
1.4. Other Enhancements. |
|||
|
|||
In response to a suggestion by Phil Newman, ZDE now properly |
|||
accepts and displays user areas between 16 and 31. While I do not |
|||
normally suggest storing files in these areas because many CP/M |
|||
programs do not handle them properly, they are useful occasionally |
|||
on very large disks or for security purposes, and are supported by |
|||
ZCPR and ZSDOS, so I have included them in ZDE. |
|||
For NewWord compatibility, I have changed the "To Mark" |
|||
command from ^QP to ^QZ. This is also better mnemonically, since |
|||
the "place mark" command is ^PZ. |
|||
The search and replace functions now match upper or lower |
|||
case by default. To search for an exact match by case, you must |
|||
enter "/c/" or "/C/" (for Case) before the search string. The |
|||
"/i/" option is no longer active. I have changed default |
|||
find/replace wildcard character to ^Z so that ZDE can find strings |
|||
with literal '_' characters. Use the ^QZ command to find a |
|||
literal ^Z. |
|||
^KB, ^KK, ^KU and ^QY no longer cause unnecessary redisplays. |
|||
For faster operation, ZDE no longer resets drives under ZSDOS |
|||
(same as CP/M Plus). |
|||
Under ZSDOS and CP/M Plus, ZDE sets the error mode to 0FEh. |
|||
All BDOS errors are displayed on the screen, but ZDE retains |
|||
control. |
|||
For your protection, ZSDOS Path and Public files are Read |
|||
Only under ZDE. That is, you can access files via Path or Public |
|||
but you cannot erase Path or Public files. If you get a ZSDOS |
|||
"File W/P" error when saving data with the ^KS, ^KD, ^KX, or ^KW |
|||
commands or when erasing a file with ^KE, you may have given the |
|||
name of a ZSDOS Path or Public file. Try again with a new name. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
2. Bugs Fixed. |
|||
|
|||
If just a drive letter in given during the ^KF (display |
|||
files) command, files in the current user area are displayed |
|||
rather than files in user area 0 (thanks to Ben Cohen). |
|||
ZDE no longer crashes if no name is given in response to the |
|||
^KW prompt (thanks to Eric Meyer for finding this one). |
|||
^KB and ^KK now behave properly when entered at the rightmost |
|||
column of the screen. |
|||
The "Chg?" prompt is now properly erased in all circumstances. |
|||
Full disk errors caused CP/M Plus and ZSDOS systems to report |
|||
the wrong amount of free space. This has been corrected by |
|||
closing the output file after full disk errors (thanks to Howard |
|||
Goldstein for this idea). |
|||
File read-only errors no longer set the drive byte to "^@" |
|||
under CP/M 2.2 (thanks again to Phil Newman for finding this one). |
|||
Backwards replace now finds the first occurrence of the |
|||
string before the cursor even if the cursor is only one character |
|||
to the right of the string. If the string is replaced, the cursor |
|||
now returns to the START of the new string instead of one after it |
|||
as before (this may change the effects of some ZDE key macros). |
|||
Ben Cohen noticed that VDE's left margin (Lnn) print option |
|||
sometimes failed to indent the first line. This has been fixed. |
|||
ZDE also prints the header text at the same location no matter |
|||
what left margin is used, rather than indenting the header and |
|||
causing it to wrap to the next line. Print option verification is |
|||
also much more rigorous now than in previous versions. |
|||
^KS, ^KD, and ^KX file name requests now abort with a |
|||
carriage return as well as ^U, and ^U now returns you to ZDE in |
|||
response to the ^KX filename request. |
|||
The bug fix published in VDE266.FIX has been incorporated. |
|||
Several ZDE bugs affecting use with DosDisk have been |
|||
eliminated (see below for bugs IN DosDisk 1.00, however). |
|||
Tabs displayed in the last column of the last row no longer |
|||
cause the screen to scroll. |
|||
Virtual screen displays no longer show garbage at the end of |
|||
the line if the cursor is at the left side of the screen, and |
|||
moving to the left edge of the screen with ^A no longer causes |
|||
redisplay. |
|||
^A now moves to the first character on line 2 before jumping |
|||
to line 1 when line 1 is empty. |
|||
^PZ now causes a horizontal scroll if it moves the cursor |
|||
beyond the right edge of the screen. |
|||
Block and place markers no longer set file status to |
|||
"Changed." |
|||
The cursor no longer jumps around when moving left from |
|||
columns after 254. The cursor now stops at column 254 instead of |
|||
255, and the status line says "Col 255" for any column past 254. |
|||
Text past column 254 CAN actually be edited, but it will not be |
|||
displayed by ZDE. |
|||
Strings can now be found with ^QA even if they are the very |
|||
last item in the file (credit goes to Cameron W. Cotrill for |
|||
finding this one). |
|||
"^OI@" now removes all soft tab stops "as advertised" in |
|||
VDE266.DOC instead of setting them all to 1, making it possible to |
|||
set new tabs after entering "^OI@". "^OI#" has the same effect. |
|||
^^ now sets file status to "Changed" when converting from |
|||
lower-to-upper case as well as upper-to-lower. |
|||
"Wait..." message now disappears after disk operations with |
|||
ruler on and status line off. VDE266 forgot to erase the message |
|||
in this situation. |
|||
Backwards find and replace operations now work properly |
|||
instead of repeating the prompt indefinitely when the replace |
|||
string is shorter than the find string (thanks to Ben Cohen for |
|||
pointing this out). |
|||
VDE restored INSert to its entry status just BEFORE the final |
|||
byte of the macro, resulting in irregular behavior and sometimes |
|||
causing macro elements to appear after the "INS" indicator in the |
|||
status line. ZDE waits until the entire macro has executed before |
|||
restoring entry status. Due to ZDE's code structure, the INS |
|||
status line indicator does not change during macro execution. |
|||
ZDE restores INSert to entry status when macros abort due to |
|||
errors (e.g., "[[[ Not Found ]]]"). |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
3. ZDENSTAL. |
|||
|
|||
Included in this library is ZDENSTAL.COM, the new install |
|||
program for ZDE. ZDENSTAL it is very similar to VINST in |
|||
operation, but adds the feature of displaying the actual print |
|||
toggles and switches at all prompts, rather than the default ones. |
|||
So if you change the first default print toggle character to ^K |
|||
for example, all other prompts referring to that toggle now |
|||
reflect the change. |
|||
Files for use with ZDENSTAL must have the type ".ZDE" (option |
|||
installation), ".ZDP" (printer installation), or ".ZDK" (macro |
|||
keys), but are otherwise compatible with files used to install VDE |
|||
2.66. With Fred Haines' permission, I have adapted his wonderful |
|||
VDKCOM.COM utility for use with ZDE, and renamed it (what else?) |
|||
ZDKCOM.COM (see ZDKCOM.DOC). |
|||
ZDENSTAL also corrects the bug which prevented VINST from |
|||
loading installation files whose archive bits were set. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
4. Notes to DosDisk Users. |
|||
|
|||
DosDisk users are advised of a bug in DosDisk 1.00 which appeared |
|||
during the development of ZDE. Calling Reset 13 while DosDisk is |
|||
active can cause DosDisk to think other active drives are all |
|||
drive A:. Bridger Mitchell, author of DosDisk, is aware of this |
|||
bug and is working on a fix. In the meantime, users of CP/M 2.2 |
|||
and ZRDOS who wish to edit files on MS-DOS disks should NOT log |
|||
into the MS-DOS drive while editing with ZDE, as this causes ZDE |
|||
to do a Reset 13 when writing to the MS-DOS drive. To edit files |
|||
on the MS-DOS drive, run ZDE from drive A: or another non-MS-DOS |
|||
drive. |
|||
|
|||
Users of ZSDOS and CP/M Plus need not worry about this problem |
|||
with ZDE, as ZDE never resets disks under ZSDOS or CP/M Plus. By |
|||
the same token, however, ZSDOS and CP/M Plus users must not change |
|||
disks in the MS-DOS drive from within ZDE, because DosDisk (like |
|||
CP/M 2.2) requires a disk reset or warm boot when disks are |
|||
changed (see DosDisk manual, p. 7). |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
5. Planned Enhancements. |
|||
|
|||
If time permits, future versions of ZDE may contain the |
|||
following enhancements: |
|||
An improved ZDENSTAL which directly accepts ASCII files for |
|||
key definitions, along the lines of ZDKCOM. |
|||
Bridger Mitchell has suggested command "bindings" which would |
|||
allow any control key or meta key sequence to be linked to any ZDE |
|||
command. This idea will be familiar to users of Perfect Writer. |
|||
Key bindings would allow ZDE to simulate EMACS, for example. |
|||
Bruce Morgen and others have suggested automatic terminal |
|||
installation under ZCPR, allowing the same copy of ZDE to be used |
|||
with any terminal. |
|||
Allow more than two default filetypes available and fixed |
|||
disks. |
|||
It may be possible to preserve file create datestamps under |
|||
CP/M Plus and Z3PLUS. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
6. Development History. |
|||
|
|||
1984: VDE began as Eric Meyer's set of improvements on the tiny |
|||
(4k) "VDO" memory- mapped editor by Fritz Schneider (1982), |
|||
as adapted by George Peace (1984) for the Osborne Executive. |
|||
|
|||

|||
Ongoing improvements also in parallel Osborne versions |
|||
VDE-OS. |
|||
|
|||
1986: The unified VDE(M) version 2.00, with generic terminal |
|||
installation. Versions 2.1-2.3 added new features |
|||
including macros; global replace; tighter compression; many |
|||
Print options; file directory; undelete. |

keys; VINSTALL terminal menu. |
|||
|
|||
2.5 (3/87): User area support; variable tabs; double |
|||
spacing; search wildcards; more standard block |
|||
functions; improved format- ting; many |
|||
additions to VINSTALL. |
|||
|
|||
2.6 (7/87): Greater WordStar compatibility; many new |
|||
functions; more free RAM; faster scrolling; |
|||
search options; keyboard buffer. |
|||
|
|||
1988: Development through v2.64, with new functions; top margin; |
|||

Update to Z System Display Editor, a small, fast editor for assembly |
|||
language and light word processing. Z System required for optimal |
|||
performance; also works with CP/M 2.2 and CP/M Plus. This version |
|||
adds hardware video handling, auto-return to file position under |
|||
ZCPR, WordStar-like ruler line, cursor on/off, and generally |
|||
F-A-S-T-E-R performance. Ten little bugs also fixed. See ZDE10.LBR |

ZDENSTAL's Terminal Installation). If hardware insert line is |
|||
available, hardware scrolling is also implemented in the insert |
|||
line (^N) command when used at the beginning of a line. For most |
|||
terminals these are considerably faster than repainting all or |
|||
part of the screen, especially if more than one line is being |
|||
inserted or deleted. |
|||
|
|||
On many ASCII terminals a pause is needed after giving a hardware |
|||
scroll string so that the screen can catch up with the keyboard. |
|||
As distributed the same value of 38 hex is used for both |
|||
horizontal and vertical scrolls. To determine the optimal setting |
|||
for your terminal, load a large text file and execute "scroll up" |
|||
or "scroll down" (^W or ^Z) continuously. If your terminal beeps |
|||
at you or if garbage characters appear you probably need to |
|||
install a larger "Horizontal & vertical scroll delay" value with |
|||
ZDENSTAL. |
|||
|
|||
1.2. ZCPR Auto-Return to Previous Position. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE now loads ZCPR's user-defined message bytes 0 and 1 (if |
|||
available) with the absolute line number of your position in a |
|||
file on exit. This allows you to exit to ZCPR, perform some other |
|||
commands, then return to the same line in your file using the ^QQ |
|||
command. You can also use this feature to jump to the equivalent |
|||
line in another file. Since the line number is absolute, it does |
|||
not vary with page length or file mode settings. |
|||
|
|||
1.3. WordStar-like Ruler line. |
|||
|
|||
New in this version is the appearance of ZDE's ASCII/WordStar mode |
|||
ruler line. As with WordStar and NewWord, the left margin is now |
|||
marked with "L", the right margin with "R", and soft tabs with |
|||
"!". The appearance of ZDE's Non-Document mode ruler line remains |
|||
unchanged. |
|||
|
|||
1.4. ZCPR-like Option Lead-in Character. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE now accepts ZCPR's familiar "/" slash character instead of |
|||
CP/M Plus's "[" character as an option signifier. For example, to |
|||
change to non-document mode the command is now "^KN/N" instead of |
|||
"^KN[N". To load a file in ASCII mode (for example) the command |
|||
is now "ZDE filename /A". This is more consistent with Z-System |
|||
programs as well as the MS-DOS version of VDE. It's also a lot |
|||
easier to find the slash character (at least on my keyboard)! |
|||
|
|||
ZDE allows you to "quote" the slash character in filenames in the |
|||
same way you quote it in ZDE find/replace strings, by doubling the |
|||
slash to give a literal slash. So for example the command "^KN |
|||
12//12//89.FIL" will change the current filename to |
|||
"12/12/89.FIL," and "ZDE ////MYFILE" loads //MYFILE for editing. |
|||
|
|||
1.5. Cursor Dance Eliminated. |
|||
|
|||
Several users mentioned that ZDE's cursor often seemed to "dance" |
|||
for no apparent reason. Actually, this was due to the fact that |
|||
ZDE repaints the screen somewhat more often than larger word |
|||
processing programs, but in looking through NewWord's User Area |
|||
Listing for version 2.17, I found something I had never noticed |
|||
before. It is possible to install NewWord to turn your cursor off |
|||
and on by putting short routines in the MORPAT area and installing |
|||
jumps to your routines at 77D and 77A hex, respectively. This |
|||
reduces eyestrain by telling NW to turn off your cursor while it |
|||
repaints your screen. |
|||
|
|||
It turns out that it was fairly simple to add a similar routine to |
|||
ZDE, so this version has cursor on/off routines similar to |
|||
NewWord's. To make use of these routines, you must install ZDE |
|||
with the cursor on/off codes for your terminal. ZDENSTAL 1.3 |
|||
allows up to six bytes each for cursor on and cursor off. I have |
|||
only been able to find codes for a few of the terminals in |
|||
ZDENSTAL's library. If the codes for your terminal are not |
|||
included in ZDENSTAL, perhaps you could leave a short message to |
|||
me describing them (see below for address), and I will include |
|||
them in the next release. |
|||
|
|||
1.6. Other Minor Enhancments. |
|||
|
|||
The cursor now turns off with the ^OZ command, giving a completely |
|||
blank screen if cursor on/off is installed (see 1.5, above). |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.0 repainted the whole screen after copying a block. Now |
|||
ZDE repaints only from the block to the bottom of the screen for |
|||
faster operation in most circumstances. I have also optimized |
|||
ZDE's general screen output routines somewhat for speed, though |
|||
this isn't noticable on terminals operating at less than 38.4 |
|||
kbaud. |
|||
|
|||
File input/output code has also been optimized for slightly |
|||
greater speed. |
|||
|
|||
And, last but not least, "quiet" operations now work up to 300 |
|||
percent faster! Both "quiet" macros and the "*" option of |
|||
find/replace boast greatly increased speed due to improved program |
|||
logic. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
2. BUGS FIXED. |
|||
|
|||
If you did a backwards find/replace with ZDE 1.0 and responded to |
|||
the "Y/N" prompt with "*", the screen stayed off until you gave an |
|||
illegal command. The screen now comes back when replacement is |
|||
complete. |
|||
|
|||
ZCPR's GO restart now works after exitting when ZDE's window (^OW) |
|||
is active. Previously restarting with GO caused ZDE to limited |
|||
the number of lines of display available by 1/2. |
|||
|
|||
I fixed a bug with block markers failing to scroll the entire |
|||
display if entered in the last screen column. This was apparently |
|||
introduced when I made block marker displays more efficient in ZDE |
|||
1.0. |
|||
|
|||
If the cursor is to the left of the left margin, block markers now |
|||
move the cursor to the left margin instead of marking the blank |
|||
space between cursor and left margin as part of the block. |
|||
|
|||
For greater safety, ZDE now checks for free memory space before |
|||
adding a block marker with ^KK or ^KB. |
|||
|
|||
Place markers no longer cause words to "wrap" to the next line |
|||
when wordwrap is active. |
|||
|
|||
I fixed a minor bug ZDE 1.0 introduced to the ^OR command. Typing |
|||
^OR in non-document mode no longer produces the strange result of |
|||
setting the right margin to column seven. |
|||
|
|||
A display bug which occurred when the cursor was in column one of |
|||
a virtual screen with a tab to its left has been fixed. |
|||
|
|||
Previously, if only a drive letter was given in response to the |
|||
^KF command's "Dir:" prompt, ZDE searched user zero of the |
|||
specified drive, no matter what the current user number was. ZDE |
|||
now searches for files at the current user number of the specified |
|||
drive in these circumstances. |
|||
|
|||
The installed "output filter limit" was allowing one character |
|||
higher than the limit to be sent to the screen. Now only |
|||
characters equal to or less than the limit are sent. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
3. INSTALLATION. |
|||
|
|||
You MUST use ZDENSTAL 1.3 to install this version of ZDE. Older |
|||
.ZDK and .ZDP files will still work; due to extra installation |
|||
codes, older .ZDE files will not work with this version. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.0 of ZDENSTAL skipped the last few bytes of .ZDK key |
|||
overlay files, preventing a full 512-byte .ZDK key file overlay |
|||
from being installed. ZDENSTAL now installs the full 512 bytes. |
|||
|
|||
ZDENSTAL now allows four instead of just two default file types. |
|||
|
|||
Several new terminal definitions have been added to ZDENSTAL, as |
|||
well as some additional terminal codes (see 1.5, above). |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
4. FOR MORE INFORMATION. |
|||
|
|||
Finally, let me take this opportunity to thank the community of |
|||
users without whose efforts this version of ZDE would be far less |
|||
than what it is. Most of the above improvements and many of the |
|||
bugs fixed in this version result from comments and insights by |
|||
ZDE enthusiasts from around the country. Please let me know your |
|||
thoughts on this most recent version. |
|||
|
|||
Besides writing computer programs and working on a degree in |
|||
political science, I operate the Antelope Freeway Remote Access |
|||

As I mentioned above, I don't plan to reissue the ZDE manuals with |
|||
the library while ZDE is still in development. For those who wish |
|||
an updated manual and/or wish to support ZDE, I offer instead a |

|
|||
1. FUNCTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS. |
|||
|
|||
1.1. Proportional Formatting. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE can now format your text for use with proportional printer |
|||
fonts! See the files ZDEPROP.DOC and ZDEPROP.Z80 (included in |
|||
ZDE16.LBR) for full details. |
|||
|
|||
1.2. Last Entry Recall. |
|||
|
|||
The following commands (among others) cause ZDE to prompt |
|||
you for information: |
|||
|
|||
COMMAND PROMPT |
|||
^KD "Load:" |
|||
^KE "Erase:" |
|||
^KN "Name:" |
|||
^KL "Load:" |
|||
^KR "Read:" |
|||
^QF "Find:" |
|||
^QA "Find:" and "Change to:" |
|||
ESC-M "Macro:" |
|||
|
|||
You can often save typing time and prevent errors by using |
|||
control-R or your right arrow key [as installed] to Recall your |
|||
last response to any of the above prompts. For example, to read |
|||
in a file and then erase it, you could enter "^KR, <filename>, |
|||
RETURN" followed by "^KE, ^R, RETURN". The ^R command will |
|||
automatically recalls the filename you entered in response to the |
|||
"Read:" prompt. The Find, Replace, and Macro prompts work in a |
|||
similar manner. ^R Recalls your entire response; right arrow |
|||
recalls your last response one character at a time to allow |
|||
further editing. |
|||
|
|||
The Recall keys can also be used to recall the last used macro, |
|||
even if it wasn't entered manually. |
|||
|
|||
1.3. Enhanced Operation Under CP/M Plus and Z3PLUS. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE takes advantage of advanced BDOS error handling to provide |
|||
slightly faster file output under CP/M Plus and Z3PLUS. In |
|||
addition, file Create stamps are now preserved under CP/M Plus |
|||
based systems as well as ZSDOS and ZDDOS systems. |
|||
|
|||
1.4. Control-U now Aborts "Delete To" Function. |
|||
|
|||
Control-U can now be used to abort a "Delete To" (^QT) operation. |
|||
Previously, ZDE would attempt to delete up to the next literal ^U |
|||
character in the file, often causing frustration. |
|||
|
|||
1.5. Fully Operational Auto-Indent (^OA). |
|||
|
|||
Auto-Indent is useful for typing outlines, structured program |
|||
source code, and other text where the "left margin" varies. When |
|||
the Insert (^V) toggle is on, Auto-Indent aligns the left margin |
|||
with that of the previous line. When Insert is off, it causes |
|||
the RETURN key to act differently: RETURN advances the cursor |
|||
past any indentation when moving through a file. |
|||
|
|||
When a new line is begun either by wordwrap or reformat (see |
|||
below) or by hitting RETURN with Insert on, Auto-Indent indents |
|||
the following line or lines to equal the previous one. It does |
|||
this by counting the number of spaces or Hard TABs (whichever |
|||
came first) before the text of the previous line, and indenting, |
|||
wrapping, or reformatting using this number of spaces or Hard |
|||
TABs. This entails certain possible conflicts, most of which ZDE |
|||
itself automatically prevents: |
|||
|
|||
First, if you mix Hard TABs and spaces when indenting a line, AI |
|||
may give strange results, as it will count and use the first |
|||
character only. For example, if your line is indented as |
|||
<TAB><TAB><SPACE>, AI will indent the next line with <TAB><TAB> |
|||
only. |
|||
|
|||
To avoid conflicts, enabling AI sets the left margin to 1, and |
|||
setting the left margin greater than 1 disables AI. Also, Double |
|||
Spacing (^O S) is disabled by Auto-Indent, and Auto-Indent |
|||
disables Double Spacing. |
|||
|
|||
Auto-indent status also now defaults to ON in Nondocument mode, |
|||
and OFF otherwise. |
|||
|
|||
1.6. Chain to ZCPR Error Handler. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE 1.6 will chain to the installed Error Handler under ZCPR 3.4 |
|||
with error #12 (TPA overflow) if there was not enough memory for |
|||
ZDE to edit the file you specified on the command line. ZDE does |
|||
this because the flow of logic in a multiple command line |
|||
sometimes dictates that the editor complete its task before |
|||
succeeding commands are carried out. For example, I use the |
|||
a multiple command alias similar to the following |
|||
|
|||
ZDE file;echo erase;if in;era file;else;mv file newdir:;fi |
|||
|
|||
to process modem capture files. After processing each file with |
|||
ZDE I generally want either to erase it (if it contained nothing |
|||
worth saving) or move it to another directory. But on occasion |
|||
the capture file is too large to process with ZDE. If the script |
|||
were allowed to proceed, it would force me either to erase the |
|||
capture file or move it elsewhere, neither of which would be |
|||
appropriate if I hadn't even looked at its contents yet. |
|||
|
|||
This is where Z System's error handler comes it handy: it |
|||
provides a means of dealing with an offending command line before |
|||
unwanted commands cause harm. When ZDE chains to the error |
|||
handler, I can _edit_ commands beginning with ZDE's invocation, |
|||
either removing unwanted commands or inserting further commands |
|||
as the situation may dictate (it is also possible to abort the |
|||
command or multiple command script altogether). In the above |
|||
case, I would revise my command line to the following: |
|||
|
|||
NW file;echo erase;if in;era file;else;mv file newdir:;fi |
|||
|
|||
By substituting the ZDE command with NW I have invoked NewWord |
|||
for this instance only of the command, which in turn will edit |
|||
the larger file. |
|||
|
|||
Without question the finest ZCPR error handler now available is |
|||
Rob Friefeld's ZERR. There are even provisions within ZERR for |
|||
automatically editing LSH scripts and for automatically chaining |
|||
to transient versions when resident (RCP, CCP) commands fail; all |
|||
of this is described in ZERR13.LBR. |
|||
|
|||
1.7. Return to Previous Position Command (^QP). |
|||
|
|||
This function is basically the same as the WordStar command: |
|||
hitting ^Q-P takes you to the position the cursor was at before |
|||
the previous command (including the ^QP command itself - try |
|||
it!). For instance, the sequence "^B, ^Q-P" reformats beginning |
|||
with the current line then restores the cursor to its original |
|||
position within the paragraph. ^Q-P is also useful for moving |
|||
long distances within a file without losing one's place: for |
|||
example you can move to the top of the file with ^Q-R, then come |
|||
back with ^Q-P. |
|||
|
|||
Within Macros, the previous cursor location is preserved: ^Q-P |
|||
will always return you to your place in the text BEFORE you |
|||
invoked the Macro. This not only allows you to resume editing at |
|||
the same location after using Macros; you can also build one or |
|||
more ^Q-P commands into the Macro itself. See SAMPKEY.* files |
|||
for one example; I'm sure there are lots of other ways to use |
|||
^Q-P within a Macro. Thanks to Howard Schwartz for keeping on my |
|||
case about this feature until I finally discovered an easy way to |
|||
implement it. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
1.8. Global Find/Replace Option. |
|||
|
|||
Besides "B" (backwards search) and "C" (case-sensitive search), |
|||
ZDE now sports a THIRD find/replace option: "G" for Global |
|||
search. ZDE normally begins your (backward or forward) search at |
|||
the current cursor location. Specifying "G" causes ZDE to start |
|||
at the BEGINNING of the file when searching forward for strings, |
|||
or at the END when searching backwards. Otherwise, the search or |
|||
replace command proceeds exactly as it does normally. The "G" |
|||
option is used in the same way as the other options, by enclosing |
|||
it in slashes as a prefix to the string being searched for (e.g., |
|||
to find "Carson" globally, enter "/gc/Carson" in response to |
|||
^Q-F's "Find: " prompt). |
|||
|
|||
1.9. Semicolons are now Characters in Nondocuments. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE now counts the ";" (semicolon) character as a normal |
|||
character in "N" mode, whereas it counts the semicolon as a |
|||
punctuation mark in the "W" and "A" modes. This is mainly of |
|||
interest to assembly language programmers, as the semicolon is |
|||
often used alone to mark the beginnings of comments in source |
|||
code. Treating the semicolon as a normal character in "N" files |
|||
simply makes it easier to manipulate assembly language comments. |
|||
Thanks to Rob Friefeld for his thoughts on this. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
2. BUGS FIXED. |
|||
|
|||
2.1. More Robust Space Calculation. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE's calculation of memory space remaining is now more robust. |
|||
In past versions of ZDE (and VDE), certain editing commands could |
|||
cause a crash when only a few bytes of free memory were |
|||
available (thanks to Rob Friefeld). |
|||
|
|||
2.2. ZCPR Line Queue Bug Fixed. |
|||
|
|||
The ^QQ (go to next line in ZCPR queue) command of previous |
|||
versions of ZDE failed if ZCPR's 16-byte user-defined buffer was |
|||
filled. Version 1.6 fixes this problem, properly returning to |
|||
the first line in the queue after the last value in has been |
|||
reached. This allows Turbo Pascal-like interactive programming |
|||
of Z80 assembly language when used under Z System with Al |
|||
Hawley's ZMAC Z80 Macro Compiler ($50 including ZML and ZMLIB; |
|||
contact Al Hawley at Ladera Z-Node, 213/670-9465 (modem), Ladera |
|||
Heights, CA). |
|||
|
|||
2.3. Other Minor Nuisances Corrected. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE now turns alternate video off when placing the cursor at the |
|||
string to change during ^QA prompts. |
|||
|
|||
A bug which allowed an extra character or hyphen on the last line |
|||
of a paragraph if the line's length was one character beyond the |
|||
right margin has been fixed (thanks to Larry Schnitger for |
|||
spotting these). |
|||
|
|||
A bug which occurred if you set the block end marker to the last |
|||
byte in the file then did a block delete has been fixed (thanks |
|||
to Ben Cohen for finding this). |
|||
|
|||
One or more bug(s) which occurred while printing have been |
|||
cleared up. ZDE should now always give a correct left margin |
|||
with or without a page header or top margin. The printout is |
|||
also slightly faster when left and top margins are used together. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE now always finds strings located exactly at the end of a |
|||
file. |
|||
|
|||
When searching with the /c/ option, erroneous results occurred if |
|||
a non-matching string of the same length as the search string |
|||
beginning with the same first character as the search string was |
|||
located at the very end of a file. This has been fixed. |
|||
|
|||
Fixed minor bug in proportional formatting that caused repeated |
|||
^B commands to give inconsistent results under some |
|||
circumstances. |
|||
|
|||
Fixed bug which set margins spuriously if an illegal number was |
|||
entered. ZDE also now disallows setting margins to zero, which |
|||
caused formatting problems. |
|||
|
|||
^B (reformat) no longer absorbs following commands, allowing ^B |
|||
to be embedded in key redefinitions with SmartKey, etc. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
3. INSTALLATION. |
|||
|
|||
You MUST use ZDENSTAL 1.6 to install this version of ZDE. Older |
|||
ZDK and .ZDP files will still work. Due to extra installation |
|||
codes, .ZDE files created with version 1.0 of ZDE will not work |
|||
with this version of ZDENSTAL. |
|||
|
|||
3.1. New in ZDENSTAL Version 1.6. |
|||
|
|||
The proportional formatting (^OJ) toggle can be disabled with |
|||
ZDENSTAL to allow use of ZDE's proportional spacing table as a |
|||
patch area. When proportional spacing is disabled, an additional |
|||
96 bytes of space is released for custom user patching. ZDENSTAL |
|||
also allows you to set the proportional formatting toggle to ON |
|||
or OFF at startup [this can also be toggled while operating ZDE]. |
|||
|
|||
ZDENSTAL's "R" option now restores ZDE's proportional spacing |
|||
table to its default (as distributed) values. |
|||
|
|||
ZDENSTAL's "F" option now gives the locations of all FIVE key |
|||
definition tables (former versions left out the ESC- table). The |
|||
"F" option also gives the location of ZDE's proportional spacing |
|||
table for use when patching ZDE. |
|||
|
|||
The Osborne 1 and Vixen terminal definitions are now separate due |
|||
to different screen width requirements (thanks to Ben Cohen for |
|||
sorting this out). |
|||
|
|||
ZDENSTAL previously would overwrite .ZDK and .ZDP files with the |
|||
wrong information if the .ZDK or .ZDP file had been archived (bit |
|||
7 of filetype character 3 set). This problem has been corrected |
|||
in version 1.6. |
|||
|
|||
Some ZDENSTAL messages have been improved. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
4. USAGE HINTS. |
|||
|
|||
The following are just some miscellania that I have picked up |
|||
from using and working on ZDE. |
|||
|
|||
4.1. Saving Macros to Disk. |
|||
|
|||
Under Z System version 3.4, it is possible to "save your work" |
|||
after creating a working Macro. First, be sure to save your new |
|||
Macros as Macro Keys using ZDE's ESC-# command (see ZDE Manual). |
|||
Then exit ZDE and type |
|||
|
|||
POKE 310 02 50;ZSAVE 310-490 filename.ZDK |
|||
|
|||
You have just used Z System's type-4 SAVE program to create a new |
|||
.ZDK file, which can now be examined and installed permanently |
|||
into ZDE with ZDENSTAL, or further revised using ZDKCOM. [NOTE: |
|||
the addresses and values given above will work for ZDE version |
|||
1.6, but may change with future versions of ZDE.] |
|||
|
|||
4.2. Creating a Smaller ZDE. |
|||
|
|||
If you are SURE you will never want to enable the Help Menus, you |
|||
can create a slightly smaller copy of ZDE. First use ZDENSTAL to |
|||
disable ZDE's Help Menus. Then issue the Z System command, |
|||
|
|||
GET 100 ZDE.COM;ZSAVE 100-3E7F filename.COM |
|||
|
|||
This creates a copy of ZDE that is about 1 kilobyte smaller than |
|||
the distributed package, and loads somewhat faster on slower |
|||
systems. This procedure is specific to ZDE 1.6; do NOT assume |
|||
that it will work on future versions. |
|||
|
|||
4.3. Using GET and GO with ZDE. |
|||
|
|||
Some users have discovered that the Z System GET and GO commands |
|||
can be used to extend ZDE's versatility or save disk space. |
|||
Since the .ZDE, .ZDP, and .ZDK files used by ZDENSTAL are simply |
|||
binary images of various portions of ZDE, you can achieve the |
|||
versatility of having several copies of ZDE without the added |
|||
disk overhead by using Z System commands that "install" one or |
|||
more of ZDENSTAL's files on the fly. |
|||
|
|||
For example, if you used ZDE with a particular terminal most of |
|||
the time, but occasionally switched to another terminal that was |
|||
incompatible with the first one, you might want to create a Z |
|||
System Alias which would overlay the default copy of ZDE with |
|||
your second terminal's characteristics at startup. You could |
|||
achieve this by first using ZDENSTAL to configure ZDE for your |
|||
second terminal, saving the terminal's characteristics into a |
|||
.ZDE file (see the ZDE Manual for details on this). You would |
|||
then ZDE for your normal terminal, and write an Alias to |
|||
auto-install this copy of ZDE for your occasional terminal on the |
|||
fly: |
|||
|
|||
GET 100 ZDE.COM;GET 180 term2.ZDE;GO $* |
|||
|
|||
This command loads the file term2.ZDE over ZDE before proceeding, |
|||
providing a temporary copy of ZDE that works with your second |
|||
terminal. |
|||
|
|||
This approach can also be used to generate "virtual" copies of |
|||
ZDE with different printer codes and Macro Key definitions. The |
|||
addresses of the various overlays for ZDE version 1.6 are: |
|||
|
|||
180 hex - Terminal codes (.ZDE files) |
|||
1F0 hex - Printer codes (.ZDP files) |
|||
310 hex - Macro Keys (.ZDK files) |
|||
|
|||
[These addresses may well change in future versions of ZDE.] |
|||
|
|||
Obviously, this involves some "homework:" if you get the |
|||
addresses wrong or use an incompatible .ZDx file (from a previous |
|||
version of ZDE, for example), you will likely cause yourself |
|||
grief. For these reasons I generally recommend simply creating |
|||
multiple copies of ZDE. But under some circumstances (e.g., |
|||
laptop computer with limited disk or ROM space) this approach may |
|||
be quite rewarding. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
5. DEVELOPMENT HISTORY. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE is a descendant of Eric Meyer's famous VDE (Video Display |
|||
Editor) program for CP/M. In 1988, Eric produced his final |
|||
version of VDE for CP/M (2.66). Eric now maintains VDE for |
|||
MS-DOS only; ZDE continues VDE's evolution on Z80 systems. ZDE |
|||
removes many of the CP/M VDE's defects and adds such features as |
|||
support for ZCPR, ZSDOS, and CP/M Plus, improved terminal and |
|||
disk I/O performance, proportional formatting, file datestamp |
|||
support, and improved installation. Meanwhile, the MS-DOS |
|||
version of VDE has continued to evolve, now boasting multiple |
|||
file buffers, auto-save, auto-number, and much more. VDE for |
|||
MS-DOS is available on computer bulletin boards (including |
|||
Antelope Freeway; see below) as VDE152.ZIP. |

|
|||
6.1. About Z System. |
|||
|
|||
If you are using CP/M equipment, you have probably heard of Z |
|||
System. Basically this is a downward compatible replacement for |
|||
the system software distributed with Z80 CP/M equipment. By |
|||
utilizing Z80 opcodes and advanced design techniques, the authors |
|||
of Z System have expanded the versatility of the CP/M operating |
|||
system far beyond its original limitations. To learn more about |

generous contributions of time and/or money. Without those who |
|||
appreciate (and criticize) my work I doubt I could justify the |
|||
time and energy I've spent on ZDE. In addition, many of the |
|||
improvements and bug fixes in version 1.6 result directly from |
|||
specific comments and insights by users. Please continue to |

|

|
|||
1. INTRODUCTION. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE version 1.6 incorporates an elemental proportional formatting |
|||
feature. This option is useful only to those whose printers have |
|||
proportional spacing capabilities. Proportional formatting allows |
|||
you to format ragged right text properly for proportional output. |
|||
Centering and right justification of proportional text are not |
|||
available. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
2. USING ZDE'S PROPORTIONAL FORMATTING FEATURE |
|||
|
|||
Proportionally spaced printing gives a more professional look, |
|||
allowing more characters to be printed on a line without |
|||
crowding. This is because less space is allocated to narrow |
|||
characters like "i" and more to wide characters like "M." Most |
|||
computer printers do NOT allow proportional spacing; only laser |
|||
printers, some daisy-wheel equipment, and newer dot-matrix |
|||
printers have this ability. Typically, there is a special set of |
|||
instructions which when sent to the printer, cause it to use |
|||
proportional spacing rather than monospacing. On some models |
|||
(the Silver Reed SR550 for example), DIP switches also control |
|||
this feature. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE does not itself perform proportional spaced printing; it |
|||
simply allows you to format your text for use with a printer that |
|||
has this capability. You must instruct your printer to space |
|||
proportionally before sending text to it. If you have tried using |
|||
the proportional capability of your printer, you probably have |
|||
noticed that LINES WITH LOTS OF WIDE CHARACTERS IN THEM |
|||
print out much wider than lines comprised of narrow characters. |
|||
ZDE 1.6 allows you to compensate for this by counting the width |
|||
of each character when it formats a paragraph (^B command), and |
|||
wrapping each line when its width count reaches the equivalent |
|||
of the current right margin setting. |
|||
|
|||
The ^OJ command toggles this feature on and off [the default may |
|||
also be installed with ZDENSTAL]. When proportional spacing is |
|||
active, the legend "PS" appears in ZDE's status line (this is |
|||
overwritten by "MR" when the margins are released). |
|||
Proportional spacing occurs only during the ^B reformat command, |
|||
not during wordwrap, so to format a document proportionally, you |
|||
must use ^B at the beginning of each paragraph after you key it |
|||
in. Still, the results are well worth the extra trouble, especially |
|||
for material that will be reproduced. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
3. INSTALLATION AND CUSTOMIZATION. |
|||
|
|||
ZDE comes preconfigured to format text for proportional spacing |
|||
with Epson's new LQ510 dot matrix printer. Since most printers |
|||
allocate roughly the same ratios of space to the various |
|||
characters, there is a good chance you won't need to install ZDE |
|||
for your printer. This file has been formatted for proportional |
|||
output by ZDE; try printing it proportionally to see the results. |
|||
|
|||
If you should decide to change ZDE's proportional spacing to |
|||
match your printer, you can patch ZDE's offset values for |
|||
individual characters. The offsets are stored in a sequential |
|||
ASCII table whose location is given by ZDENSTAL's "F" option. |
|||
The table consists of positive and negative (2's compliment) byte |
|||
values, one for each character beginning with " " and going |
|||
through "~". As distributed, all of the values are either -12, -6, |
|||
0, +6, or +12. The negative numbers are expressed as (256+n), |
|||
where n is the negative number. So for example, -6 is expressed |
|||
as (256+(-6)) or 250 (FA hex). |
|||
|
|||
ZDE uses its ASCII table as follows. When reformatting a line, |
|||
ZDE counts each character as (30+table value)/30 of a column |
|||
wide. So if the offset is zero, the character is one column wide |
|||
(30/30 = 1) and ZDE increments the current column by one. If |
|||
the character's offset is -6, it counts as only (30+(-6)/30) or |
|||
24/30 columns wide, and ZDE increments the current column by |
|||
only 24/30. If the character's offset is +12, it counts as 42/30 |
|||
columns wide, and so on. When a full column is "lost" due to |
|||
characters with negative offsets, ZDE adds the next character to |
|||
the line without incrementing the column count. Similarly, when |
|||
enough "extra" columns are counted to equal a full character, ZDE |
|||
increments its column count without actually adding another |
|||
character to the line. |
|||
|
|||
To see the effects of this, try reformatting a paragraph or two, |
|||
first with PS on, then with it off. Lines of wide characters are |
|||
shortened on screen, while lines of narrow characters are allowed |
|||
to extend beyond the right margin. When the text is printed |
|||
proportionally, your printer reverses the process. Lines of wide |
|||
characters are lengthened and lines of narrow characters are |
|||
shortened, the net result being proportionally spaced text with an |
|||
even right margin. |
|||
|
|||
If your printer's proportional output is not properly compensated |
|||
for by ZDE, it is possible to install another offset table within |
|||
ZDE to suit your needs. The current table's address is given by |
|||
ZDENSTAL's "F" option. To find the location of a character's |
|||
offset, add its ASCII value to ZDE's table address and subtract |
|||
32. For example, the ASCII value for "A" is 65, so the location of |
|||
"A"'s offset is (table address+65-32) or (table address+33). |
|||
|
|||
You may adjust a character's offset to any value between -34 and |
|||
+35 decimal, but keep in mind that offsets if less than -29 may |
|||
result in lines that _never_ reformat since characters with |
|||
offsets of -30 or less take up no virtual space or less! To |
|||
calculate the proportional ratios used by your printer, it is best |
|||
to print out a line of thirty of each character in proportional |
|||
mode and compare the length of each line to the others. Most |
|||
characters should result in lines of roughly the same length; this |
|||
is your "base" length, and you should set the offsets of these |
|||
characters in ZDE to 00. Other lines will probably fall into four |
|||
or so other lengths; hopefully these lengths will correspond to an |
|||
even xx/30ths of the "base" length. To get the proper offset |
|||
value, just subtract the number of characters equal in length to |
|||
a line of "base" characters from 30. For example, if only 18 |
|||
capital "M"'s take up the same length as 30 base characters, the |
|||
offset for "M" is 30-18 or +12. If it takes 42 "i"'s to equal the |
|||
length of 30 base characters, the offset for "i" is 30-42 or -12. |
|||
|
|||
Once you have determined the offsets in 30ths of each |
|||
character's width from the base length, just plug these values |
|||
into ZDE's proportional table. You can use a patcher to alter a |
|||
few characters. For extensive modification, I have provided the |
|||
assembly language file ZDEPROP.Z80 which can be assembled to a |
|||
.HEX file overlay file for ZDE. Before assembling ZDEPROP.HEX, |
|||
you must edit the file and set the equate TABLE to the current |
|||
address of ZDE's proportional spacing table as given by |
|||
ZDENSTAL. Then overlay ZDE with ZDEPROP.HEX using MLOAD, |
|||
SID, or DDT. |

1. How to Use ZDKCOM. |
|||
|
|||
ZDKCOM compiles an ASCII text file into a *.ZDK file of key |
|||
macros which ZDENSTAL will install in ZDE. It alsos convert an |
|||
existing ZDK file into a text file with the extension ZDT. It |
|||
allows you to create, edit, and re-edit complicated key macros |
|||
with a full-featured word processor - ZDE itself - instead of the |
|||
backspace-only line editor in ZDENSTAL. The syntax is: |
|||
|
|||
ZDKCOM <ufn>.ZDT |
|||
converts text file to ZDK overlay |
|||
|
|||
ZDKCOM <ufn>.ZDK |
|||
converts overlay to ZDT text file |
|||
|
|||
Use ZDE in NONDOCUMENT mode to type a file that looks like |
|||
what you see when you use the K option of ZDENSTAL, substituting |
|||
lower case "n" or "q" for the No Repeat and Quiet option |
|||
indicators <N> and <Q>: |
|||
|
|||
qThis line would be for key 0 in Quiet mode.^M |
|||
nThis line would be for key 1 in No Repeat mode.^M |
|||
|
|||
This line would be key 3, with key 2 unassigned. |
|||
n<This line would appear in angle brackets.>^M^M^M |
|||
The line above, key 4, prints with two blank lines following it. |
|||
q"This is in quotes, but no carriage return at the end." |
|||
"This line is ^P^BMacro Key 7^P^B with embedded boldface codes."^M |
|||
q^VThis line turns insert on before printing the line.^A^A^A^A_^F^D_^M |
|||
n <Key 9 not installed>^A^A^A^A |
|||
|
|||
...and so on. Lines correspond to the number keys in 0 to 9 |
|||
order, with blank lines for unassigned keys. Do NOT embed control |
|||
codes. Type everything in ASCII. For instance, to underline, |
|||
type out '^P^Swords underlined^P^S'. It's a good idea to make |
|||
hard carriage returns visible by toggling them on with the ^OD |
|||
command. ZDKCOM accepts trailing spaces as part of the macro, |
|||
even though you can't see them, so, if you don't want them, make |
|||
sure each line is terminated by a hard carriage return. |
|||
Individual key macro strings may not exceed 127 bytes in the |
|||
ZDK file, though they may in the ZDT text file, since ASCII |
|||
representations of single-byte control codes require two bytes, |
|||
and option flags and slashes don't contribute to the length of the |
|||
string. |
|||
The total of all strings may not exceed 498 output bytes. |
|||
This is two bytes less than allowed by ZDE and ZDENSTAL, but, |
|||
under the program's present logic, it would require an inordinate |
|||
amount of code to make those last two bytes available. If you |
|||
really need them, add them to the ZDK file with ZPATCH or any |
|||
other patcher, locate the last string-length byte, and add 2 (in |
|||
hex) to it. |
|||
For a quick demo, remove the leading spaces from the lines |
|||
below, mark them as a block, and write them out to <ufn>.ZDT. Run |
|||
ZDKCOM <ufn>.ZDT. Then load the resulting ZDK file into ZDE with |
|||
the command ZDENSTAL ZDE <ufn>.ZDK. |
|||
|
|||
q^C^C^C^E^E^E^E^E^[^E |
|||
q^[b^[0^Qs^X^[=^M1^[= 1^S^V ^D^[!0^[1^Qb^B^Ku |
|||

|||

|||

|||

|||

|||
q<not installed>^A^A^S |
|||
q<not installed>^A^A^S |
|||
q^KrHEADER^M |
|||
|
|||
Key macro 0 measures off one full page if the top margin is 0 and |
|||
the page length is 58 lines. Adjust for different page lengths by |
|||
adding or subtracting ^E's. I use this macro to move from line 1 |
|||
of a page to line 1 of the next page. I then use key macro 9 to |
|||
read in a page header from a separate file that contains nothing |
|||
but the properly spaced header text with a # in place of the page |
|||
number. I search for # with a ^Qf and replace it with the |
|||
appropriate page numbers. |
|||
This happens so quickly on a 9 mhz SB180 with hard disk that |
|||
it is virtually unnoticeable, but there is a faster way to do it. |
|||
Just make up a header at the top of the first page, or, if you |
|||
want to start page headers only on page two, at the foot of the |
|||
file, and mark it as a block. Use key macro 0 to move from the |
|||
top line of a page to the top line of the next, and copy the |
|||
header into place with the ^KC command. Don't forget to erase the |
|||
original of the header at the foot of the file when you get there. |
|||
Key macro 1 softens and reforms a paragraph by removing the |
|||
hard carriage returns from the ends of each line. |
|||
Key macro 2 changes a document in flush left block format |
|||
(like this one) to indented paragraph form, and key macro 3 |
|||
changes it back again. |
|||
Key macro 4 embeds my DIABLO 1610-compatible printer's code |
|||
for setting a left margin in column 11 (^K=0Bh) in the document. |
|||
If I want another margin I add or subtract from 0Bh and overwrite |
|||
the ^K with the appropriate control character. You may well be |
|||
able to substitute your own printer's set left margin code for |
|||
this one. |
|||
Key macro 5 reads in a previously prepared letterhead stored |
|||
as LH.FMT on drive/user A0. |
|||
Key macro 6 removes four spaces or characters from the |
|||
beginning of each line, used to remove line numbers from the |
|||
beginnings of messages in modem capture files. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
2. Programmer's Note. |
|||
|
|||
A ZDK file is a data structure four records long. The first |
|||
two bytes are an ID number which ZDENSTAL checks to ensure that it |
|||
is working with the correct version. The current number, 0250h, |
|||
is valid for several recent versions of ZDE. |
|||
These two bytes are followed by up to ten strings, each |
|||
preceded by a string-length byte which ZDE uses to index the |
|||
string's location. Each string is limited by the size of a buffer |
|||
in ZDE to 127 bytes. |
|||
An empty string is indicated by a string-length byte of 00h. |
|||
After the last byte of the last string, the remainder of the 512 |
|||
bytes are filled with 00h. |
|||
It is a peculiarity of ZDKCOM that it needs to write two null |
|||
bytes at the end of the file, which means that it will accept only |
|||
498 bytes for the total length of all strings (512, less two ID |
|||
bytes, less 10 string-length bytes, less these two more) rather |
|||
than the 500 that ZDE and ZDENSTAL allow. |
|||
When you look at the key macro buffer of ZDE using the K |
|||
option of ZDENSTAL, you see something that looks like this: |
|||
|
|||
<0><Q>This line would be for key 0 in Quiet mode.^M |
|||
<1><N>This line would be for key 1 in No Repeat mode.^M |
|||
<2><> |
|||
<3>This line would be key 3, with key 2 unassigned. |
|||
<4><N><This line would appear in angle brackets.>^M^M^M |
|||
<5>The line above, key 4, prints with two blank lines following it. |
|||
<6><Q>"This is in quotes, but no carriage return at the end." |
|||
<7>"This line is ^P^BMacro Key 7^P^B with embedded boldface codes."^M |
|||
<8><> |
|||
<9><> |
|||
|
|||
The numbers down the side and the option indicators <N>, <Q>, and |
|||
<> (no option) are supplied by ZDENSTAL. The ZDT text file |
|||
version of the same macro keys would omit the string numbers and |
|||
no option indicators, and convert the <N> and <Q> to simple lower |
|||
case 'n' and 'q'. If you need lower case 'n' or 'q' as the first |
|||
character of a key macro, just precede it with a slash, which will |
|||
be ignored. |
|||
ZDKCOM recognizes blank lines as unassigned keys. These |
|||
produce an "error" message when invoked by ZDE. |
|||
ZDE recognizes a No Repeat option if the the high bit is set |
|||
on the first byte of the macro string after the length byte, and a |
|||
Quiet option if the high bit is set on both of the first two bytes |
|||
of the string. |
|||
The translation procedure from text to overlay requires: |
|||
|
|||
Enter two-byte ID string 02h 50h in output file. |
|||
|
|||
Enter 00h to save a place for a string length byte. |
|||
|
|||
Check for "n" or "q" as first three bytes of new string and add |
|||
80h to the next byte or next two bytes input as required. |
|||
|
|||
Read in the rest of the string byte by byte and output each byte |
|||
to the output file. If "^" appears in the string, drop it and |
|||
subtract 40h from next byte to make it into a real control |
|||
character. If "/" appears, ignore it and print the next |
|||
character literally. "/^" prints "^" rather than turn the |
|||
character following the carat into a control code, and "//" |
|||
prints a single slash. A single input slash is ignored. |
|||
|
|||
When the CRLF pair is encountered in the input text file, |
|||
convert it to a 00h place marker for the length of the next |
|||
string. Get the number of bytes output in the last string and |
|||
write it to the position of the string-length byte at the head |
|||
of the preceding string. |
|||
|
|||
When the text file's ^Z EOF is encountered, fill the remainder |
|||
of the total 512 bytes with 00h and close the files. |
|||
|
|||
When converting ZDK overlays to ZDT text files, the procedure is |
|||
more or less reversed. ZDKCOM converts the string length bytes to |
|||
CRLF pairs, the control code bytes to two-byte ASCII strings '^c', |
|||
and finishes off the file when all strings are accounted for by |
|||
inserting an EOF ^Z. |
|||
In addition, ZDKCOM has error checking for file opening and |
|||
closing and for individual and overall string length, and it |
|||
reports activity to keep the user from thinking the program has |
|||
hung, though the counters on the screen are otherwise meaningless. |
|||
The structure of the four-sector ZDK file in CP/M is so |
|||
similar to the eight-sector MS/DOS version that you can use |
|||
ZDKCOM, along with a patcher, to create a VDK file for |
|||
installation in VDE12, the MS/DOS version of ZDE. Make up the ZDT |
|||
file as you would for CP/M, then patch the second ID byte from 50h |
|||
to 60h and add four records of nulls. |

INSTALLATION |
|||
------------ |
|||
|
|||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE |
|||
|
|||
WordStar has two installation programs: |
|||
|
|||
o WINSTALL contains the basic choices to install WordStar. |
|||
It is recommended for all users. |
|||
|
|||
Be sure and install your valid disk drives since WordStar |
|||
running under CP/M cannot recover from attempts to access non- |
|||
existent disk drives. |
|||
|
|||
o WSCHANGE contains every installation and customization |
|||
choice. It is designed for advanced users and users who |
|||
want to customize WordStar after they're familiar with it. |
|||
Use the menu listing below for a directory of the menus |
|||
in WSCHANGE. |
|||

|||
MEMORY USAGE |
|||
------------ |
|||
|
|||
WordStar requires a minimum TPA size of 50 kbytes to run |
|||
using the factory defaults. The TPA is the amount of memory |
|||
available in your computer for use by programs that have a |
|||
file type of COM. To see how big the TPA is in your computer, |
|||
press the question mark key (?) at the Opening Menu. |
|||
|
|||
The amount of memory required by WordStar can be reduced by |
|||
approximately 3 kbytes if necessary. Use the WSCHANGE program |
|||
to select the minimum memory configuration option. The menu |
|||
will show you what capabilities are being reduced. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar uses a general-purpose buffer for a variety of |
|||
tasks. WordStar allocates memory to this buffer for editing, |
|||
for merge printing, and at the Opening Menu (see BFSIZE in |
|||
PATCH.LST). The buffer used for editing is usually the most |
|||
sensitive to a reduced TPA size. (You may be able to use the |
|||
Opening Menu and print, but there may be insufficient memory |
|||
for editing.) |
|||
|
|||
The merge print buffer is used only to hold merge print |
|||
variable names and data. Increase it if you run out of memory |
|||
while merge printing. |
|||
|
|||
The Opening Menu buffer is used primarily to hold the file |
|||
directory, and for miscellaneous tasks. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
LOW-MEMORY INDICATOR IN STATUS LINE |
|||
----------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
If the Low-Memory indicator appears in the status line, it |
|||
means that WordStar was unable to complete some function. |
|||
The most common symptoms are: the line number in the |
|||
status line is wrong, or a paragraph alignment could not be |
|||
completed. You may correct the line counter by saving your |
|||
file, exiting WordStar, and re-loading your file. To correct |
|||
the paragraph alignment, move your cursor to the point where |
|||
paragraph alignment stopped, and then press ^B again. |
|||
|
|||
The reason this comes up is that WordStar was not able to fit |
|||
a big enough chunk of text into memory at one time. |
|||
|
|||
When you first begin editing, WordStar uses the value from |
|||
EDSIZE in the user area to determine the minimum amount |
|||
of memory required for a page of text. The default |
|||
is set for approximately a 55 line by 66 column page. If |
|||
your page size is routinely larger than this, you may want |
|||
to increase EDSIZE. Multiply the number of lines by the |
|||
number of columns, and divide by 128. |
|||
|
|||
If the Low-Memory indicator comes on while printing, it is due |
|||
to either the same reasons as for editing, or there is |
|||
insufficient memory to print the text proportionally spaced. |
|||
The amount of memory required depends on which printer |
|||
driver you are using. If you aren't using the .PS ON dot |
|||
command to turn proportional spacing on in your document, |
|||
low memory won't be a problem. Also, WordStar uses more |
|||
memory for merge printing than it does for regular printing |
|||
(around 2.5 kbytes more). |
|||
|
|||
The Low-Memory indicator will also appear when a full disk error |
|||
is encountered during editing. Treat the disk-full error as you |
|||
would normally. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
RAM-RESIDENT PROGRAMS |
|||
--------------------- |
|||
|
|||
RAM-resident programs, such as SmartKey, reduce the amount of |
|||
working memory (TPA) that WordStar can use. The new features in |
|||
WordStar, such as shorthand, may reduce the need for these |
|||
RAM-resident programs, thus freeing memory for WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
ZCPR3 SUPPORT |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
In order to enable the ZCPR facilities within WordStar, the user |
|||
must use the Z3INS utility provided with ZCPR to install the |
|||
address of the ZCPR "environment" into WordStar. The environment |
|||
contains information that WordStar uses to support ZCPR-specific |
|||
functions. |
|||
|
|||
Generally, the user should log onto the drive containing the file |
|||
WS.COM, and issue the command: |
|||
|
|||
Z3INS SYS.ENV WS.COM |
|||
|
|||
The user should also run either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to further |
|||
install WordStar for ZCPR. However, this is not mandatory because |
|||
the only thing that happens is that the WordStar sign-on says |
|||
"ZCPR3," and the LGLUSR location in the user area is changed for a |
|||
maximum user number of 31. (The normal default for LGLUSR is 15.) |
|||
|
|||
Once the user has installed WordStar for use with ZCPR, the user |
|||
will be able to use the following ZCPR features: |
|||
|
|||
- A named directory may be used when logging onto a new drive/user. |
|||
|
|||
- A named directory may be used instead of a drive/user as part |
|||
of any file name. |
|||
|
|||
- The drive/user always appears above file directories. (For CP/M |
|||
only the drive letter is shown if the user number is zero.) |
|||
|
|||
- The directory name also appears above the directory if one has |
|||
been defined for the currently logged drive/user. |
|||
|
|||
- If WordStar does not find its OVR files on the current drive and |
|||
user, it will search the drives and user numbers in the ZCPR |
|||
search path rather than using its standard search pattern. |
|||
|
|||
- WordStar installs itself as a ZCPR "shell" process which lets the |
|||
user enter any legal ZCPR command when running a program. (CP/M |
|||
can only run programs that are COM files.) |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
OSBORNE USERS |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
The command to change a hard carriage return to a soft carriage |
|||
return (document mode) or to turn Auto-indent ON (nondocument |
|||
mode) does not function on the Osborne because of a limitation |
|||
in its BIOS. The following patch can be applied to change the |
|||
command from ^^ to ^- (Ctrl-Hyphen): |
|||
|
|||
Using DDT or SID in the file WSMSGS.OVR: |
|||
|
|||
At 02DA replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 02EF replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 0359 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 06B2 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
At 06C9 replace 1E with a 1D |
|||
|
|||
At the system prompt type SAVE 53 WSMSGS.OVR |
|||
|
|||
For more information on how to use SID or DDT, see your CP/M |
|||
reference guide. As always, be sure and apply the patch to a |
|||
COPY of the file. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWO FLOPPY DISK COMPUTERS |
|||
------------------------------------------ |
|||
|
|||
Do not remove the Program disk while you are using WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
The Printer Driver Library file (WSPRINT.OVR) on the WordStar |
|||
program disk is much smaller than the Printer Driver Library |
|||
file contained on the disk labeled PRINTER. Be sure to read the |
|||
section in "Starting" that discusses the printer library file. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
RUN A PROGRAM |
|||
------------- |
|||
|
|||
Once you press R you can type the drive and user number for the |
|||
program you want to run. You may run only .COM files. CCP commands, |
|||
such as DIR cannot be used. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
INDEXING |
|||
-------- |
|||
|
|||
Using StarIndex |
|||
|
|||
StarIndex 1.01 works with files created with this release of |
|||
WordStar. |
|||
|
|||
"Can't Use That Printer" Message |
|||
|
|||
When WordStar creates an index or table of contents, it uses |
|||
the printer drivers $INDEX and $TOC. If you created a smaller |
|||
WSPRINT.OVR file, you may have left these drivers out. To |
|||
return them to the file, copy the original WSPRINT.OVR file |
|||
onto your disk. When you create a smaller file again, be sure |
|||
to save these drivers. See Appendix C in the WordStar manual |
|||
for a list of other drivers to save. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
SPELL CHECKING |
|||
-------------- |
|||
|
|||
Dual floppy disk users: |
|||
|
|||
Unless you have sufficient room on your working WordStar program |
|||
disk for the files TW.COM, SPELL.COM, MARKFIX.COM, REVIEW.COM and |
|||
MAINDICT.CMP you will not be able to run a spell check from the |
|||
Opening Menu. You will need to exit WordStar and replace the |
|||
working WordStar program disk with the dictionary disk you created |
|||
during installation. This disk should contain the files listed |
|||
above. Make sure the disk in drive B has the file you want to |
|||
spell-check. |
|||
|
|||
Follow the directions for running a spell check in The WORD Plus |
|||
manual. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE |
|||
--------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
This release of WordStar contains many new features and commands. |
|||
See the "What's New" booklet for a complete list. The following |
|||
changes came in too late to be included in the documentation. |
|||
|
|||
Printer Patches |
|||
|
|||
Previous versions of WordStar treat most dot matrix printers |
|||
and other non-daisy wheel printers as a DRAFT printer with a |
|||
few patchable items. Because of this, many users have used |
|||
these patches to be able to use certain features of their |
|||
printers. Sometimes the patches have been quite extensive, and |
|||
some users have many files that count on them. |
|||
|
|||
The printer drivers of WordStar Release 4, on the other hand, |
|||
are very powerful. Almost every driver recognizes all the print |
|||
controls and all the dot commands. In fact, if a document is |
|||
written to be printed on one kind of printer, it is likely that |
|||
it will also print fine on some other printer. |
|||
|
|||
However, if you want to use your existing files with WordStar |
|||
4, and those files rely on the user area being patched in a |
|||
special way, you can probably do so by moving the patches into |
|||
WordStar 4, and using the CUSTOM or SIMPLE printer driver. |
|||
|
|||
On the INSTALL disk is a program called MOVEPRN.COM that |
|||
copies the printer driver portion of the previous release's |
|||
user area into files that can be installed into Release 4 with |
|||
the "auto patcher" feature. |
|||
|
|||
Copy the program MOVEPRN.COM onto the disk containing the |
|||
WS.COM file for the previous version. Type |
|||
|
|||
MOVEPRN WS.COM FILE1.PAT FILE2.PAT |
|||
|
|||
MOVEPRN extracts the proper portions of the user area and |
|||
writes them into two files that may then be used with the "auto |
|||
patcher" feature of WSCHANGE. |
|||
|
|||
FILE1.PAT is to be used with the general patching menu |
|||
(Choose E "Patching" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then A "Auto |
|||
Patcher"). FILE2.PAT should be used to install strings first |
|||
into the SIMPLE driver, and then into the CUSTOM driver (choose |
|||
B "Printer" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then B "Printer driver |
|||
library", D "Change printer driver data" and D "Driver auto |
|||
patcher"). |
|||
|
|||
Test print your document first with the SIMPLE driver, and then |
|||
with the CUSTOM driver to see which one produces the most |
|||
satisfactory results. |
|||
|
|||
Also read Appendix C for more information on using the Auto |
|||
Patcher. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
Hanging Indents |
|||
|
|||
For WordStar Professional Release 4, MailMerge reformats indented |
|||
text created with ^OG to the current margins. If you want the text |
|||
to remain indented, use embedded ruler lines or the .RM, .LM, |
|||
and .PM commands. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. |
|||
|
|||
Pressing ^OG to wrap back to the first tab on the ruler line after |
|||
having reached the last tab works the same way it did in previous |
|||
versions of WordStar, contrary to what is stated in the manual. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
TERMINALS |
|||
--------- |
|||
|
|||
WordStar comes installed for an "idealized" special terminal. |
|||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE allow you to install many terminals by |
|||
name, thus allowing WordStar to take advantage of the special |
|||
features that the terminal might support, such as underlining |
|||
or the function keys. |
|||
|
|||
Use either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to pick your specific terminal |
|||
or computer screen from the Monitor menu. If your terminal |
|||
isn't on the menu, it probably emulates one of those that is |
|||
there. Look in your terminal documentation to find out. |
|||
|
|||
After you install WordStar for the proper terminal, run |
|||
WordStar and open the file PRINT.TST to see which attributes |
|||
(such as bold and underline) work on your screen. |
|||
WordStar will highlight the following in some way... |
|||
|
|||
Bold (^PB) |
|||
Underline (^PS) |
|||
Strike-out (^PX) |
|||
Subscript (^PV) |
|||
Superscript (^PT) |
|||
Doublestrike (^PD) |
|||
Italics (^PY) |
|||
Blocks (^KB, ^KK) |
|||
Error messages |
|||
|
|||
Most of the time, normal text will be shown in dim intensity, |
|||
and highlighted text will be shown in bright intensity. You |
|||
may have to use a brightness and/or contrast knob to adjust |
|||
your screen the first time you use WordStar this way. |
|||
|
|||
If your dim intensity is too dim to see well, and you can't |
|||
adjust it, you can change the BRITE flag to ON using WSCHANGE. |
|||
This will invert bright and dim in your text, so that regular |
|||
text is displayed bright, and highlighted text will be |
|||
displayed as dim. However, text in the menus is not affected. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
DISPLAY PROBLEMS WITH TERMINALS |
|||
------------------------------- |
|||
|
|||
Once you have installed WordStar for the proper terminal, you |
|||
may still experience display problems. |
|||
|
|||
If text from the previous screen remains after WordStar |
|||
displays a new screenful of text, the most likely cause is |
|||
cursor wrap. Basically, WordStar must know what happens to the |
|||
cursor when a character is displayed at the rightmost position |
|||
of the screen. It can either remain at the right edge, or it |
|||
can wrap to the beginning of the next line. The WRAP flag in |
|||
WordStar must be set either on or off to correspond to the |
|||
way the terminal works. (It is generally set for the |
|||
terminal's factory default, but the default can usually be |
|||
changed using the terminal's setup mode.) |
|||
|
|||
Another possible cause for display problems is your terminal's |
|||
incomplete emulation of some other terminal. The most |
|||
common differences are... |
|||
|
|||
Line insert (LININS), line delete (LINDEL), |
|||
Erase to end of screen (ERAEOS), |
|||
Erase to end of line (ERAEOL), |
|||
And, erase screen (ERASCR). |
|||
|
|||
Look in the manual for your terminal and use WSCHANGE to see |
|||
if the control sequences match. |
|||

WHAT'S IN THIS SECTION |
|||
|
|||
This section contains the following information: |

Choosing a Printer |

Setting Up Your Printer |
|||
Printer Drivers |
|||
Proportional Printing |
|||
Laser Printers |

Information on Specific Printers |
|||
|
|||
CHOOSING A PRINTER |
|||
|
|||
WordStar is ready to work with over 100 printers. The printer you |
|||
choose during installation becomes your default printer. However, |
|||
when you print a document, you can choose any other printer. To |
|||
choose a default printer, follow these steps: |
|||
|
|||
1. Look at the Printer Information brochure that came in your |
|||
package. The first chart shows the printers listed on the |
|||
Printer Selection Menus. If your printer is on the menu, |
|||
simply choose it during installation. |
|||
|
|||
2. If your printer isn't listed on the menu, it may work like a |
|||
printer that is. Refer to the second chart in the Printer |
|||
Information brochure for a list of printers that work like |
|||
printers on the menu. When WordStar asks you to choose a |
|||
printer, choose the printer that works like yours. |
|||
|
|||
3. If neither chart lists your printer, choose Typewriter Printer |
|||
(if your printer can backspace) or Draft Printer (if it can't). |
|||
These choices may not take advantage of all your printer's |
|||
features, but they will work with almost any printer. |
|||
|
|||
Note: If you choose Draft or Typewriter, you can modify custom |
|||
print controls and printer initialization. |
|||
|
|||
If you want to make more modifications to take advantage of your |
|||
printer's feature, choose the Custom or Simple drivers, then use |
|||
the WS Printer Patches section of WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the |
|||
codes for your printer. Refer to your printer manual for these |
|||
codes. Some printers work better with the Custom driver and some |
|||
with the Simple driver. Try using both and see which works better |
|||
with your printer. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. |
|||
|
|||
SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER |
|||
|
|||
Choosing a Printer Port |
|||
|
|||
Each printer is connected to a printer port at the back of |
|||
the computer. WordStar looks for printers on the LST: port. |
|||
If your printer is connected to a different port, use |
|||
WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the correct port. |
|||
|
|||
Testing Your Printer Connection |
|||
|
|||
At the operating system prompt, type "PIP LST:=READ.ME." This |
|||
file should be printed by your printer. If it is not, your printer |
|||
may be connected to a different port. See your computer reference |
|||
manual, and the section on the STAT command in your CP/M |
|||
reference manual for more information. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
PRINTER DRIVERS |
|||
|
|||
The WSPRINT.OVR file on the Printers disk contains a printer |
|||
driver for each printer on the Printer Selection Menu. The printer |
|||
driver for a printer contains all the codes WordStar needs to work |
|||
with that printer. |
|||
|
|||
Each printer driver has a short name. If you choose a printer when |
|||
you print a document, you see the names of the printer drivers, not |
|||
the names of the printers. |
|||
|
|||
PROPORTIONAL PRINTING |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports proportional printing on a number of printers. |
|||
To turn on proportional printing, either install WordStar to |
|||
default to proportional printing, or place a ".PS on" command |
|||
in your document. At print time, WordStar selects the |
|||
appropriate proportional font based on the character width |
|||
(.CW) currently in effect. |
|||
|
|||
The specific printer descriptions later in this section show |
|||
recommended character widths for proportional typefaces. |
|||
These widths are for a normal mix of upper- and lowercase |
|||
letters. If you have many words or phrases all in uppercase |
|||
or if you want your text less densely printed, choose a larger |
|||
character width. |
|||
|
|||
While WordStar mostly sets character widths based on the |
|||
proportional-width table in the driver, on the more advanced |
|||
daisy wheel printers, WordStar uses the printer's proportional- |
|||
spacing mode. WordStar determines how much white space is needed |
|||
to right-justify the line based on its own proportional width |
|||
tables. If the table values don't match the wheel installed, |
|||
WordStar won't be able to justify the line correctly. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar sends standard ASCII characters; if a proportional wheel |
|||
uses a different spoke mapping, set up the printer to handle this. |
|||
|
|||
LASER PRINTERS |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports laser printer features such as font changes |
|||
and proportional spacing. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar supports several laser printers: the Canon LPB-8 A1 & A2; |
|||
the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, LaserJet+, and LaserJet 500+; |
|||
and the Ricoh LP4080. Refer to the "Specific Printer |
|||
Information" section of this file for information on these |
|||
printers. General notes about using laser printers are given below. |
|||
|
|||
Paper Size and Margins |
|||
|
|||
Laser printers come with preset page margins. You need to |
|||
compensate for these margins by changing page length in your |
|||
WordStar documents. The chart below shows the recommended |
|||
settings for 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper for both portrait and landscape |
|||
orientations. These settings allow 55 lines of text for portrait |
|||
orientation and 40 lines of text for landscape orientation (at 6 |
|||
lines per inch). They also allow for a footer of up to 3 lines |
|||
and a one-line header. If you use multiple-line headers, adjust |
|||
the top margin accordingly. |
|||
|
|||
Dot Default Portrait Landscape |
|||
Setting Command Value Orientation Orientation |
|||
------- ------- ------- ----------- ----------- |
|||
page length .PL 66 62 47 |
|||
top margin .MT 3 2 2 |
|||
bottom margin .MB 8 5 5 |
|||
header margin .HM 2 1 1 |
|||
footer margin .FM 2 2 2 |
|||
|
|||
If the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE |
|||
to make these settings the defaults. |
|||
|
|||
Because laser printers leave small margins at the left and right |
|||
sides of the page, you may want to use a smaller page offset |
|||
setting (the default is .PO 8). |
|||
|
|||
Form Feeds |
|||
|
|||
When you print with a laser printer, answer Y for yes to the "Use |
|||
form feeds (Y/N)?" prompt at print time. (The default is NO.) If |
|||
the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE to |
|||
change the default to yes. |
|||
|
|||
WordStar Commands for Font Selection |
|||
|
|||
The WordStar dot commands and print control commands listed below |
|||
determine the fonts used for printing a document. |
|||
|
|||
.PR .PR OR=L selects landscape orientation; .PR OR=P (or just |
|||
.PR OR) selects portrait orientation (the default). If |
|||
either of these commands appears after the first printing |
|||
line on a page, the orientation will not change until the |
|||
following page. |
|||
|
|||
.PS .PS ON selects proportionally spaced characters; .PS OFF |
|||
(the default) selects fixed-spaced characters. |
|||
|
|||
.CW The character-width setting (.CW followed by the width in |
|||
120ths of an inch) determines the character pitch and font |
|||
selected for fixed-width printing. For proportional fonts, it |
|||
determines the point size and proportional-width table |
|||
selected. |
|||
|
|||
.LQ .LQ ON selects near letter quality print (if supported by |
|||
your printer). LQ OFF selects draft quality print. Default |
|||
is ON. |
|||
|
|||
^PY The italic print control toggles between normal and italic |
|||
characters when the appropriate italic font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PB The boldface print control toggles between normal and bold |
|||
characters when the appropriate bold font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PD The double strike print control used with the laser printers |
|||
toggles overprinting with a horizontal offset of 1/120" |
|||
between the two character images. This allows a bold effect |
|||
where no bold font is available. |
|||
|
|||
^PA ^PA turns alternate pitch on. Use .CW to assign different |
|||
character widths to normal pitch (see ^PN below) and alternate |
|||
pitch so that each pitch accesses a different font. You can |
|||
then change fonts by switching between the two pitches. This |
|||
is the only way to use two fonts on the same line. |
|||
(See "Character width" and "Pitch" in the "Reference Guide.") |
|||
|
|||
^PN ^PN turns normal pitch on. You can use it with ^PA as |
|||
described above. |
|||
|
|||
^P@ When working with columns, if you use alternate and normal |
|||
pitch for two fonts, or if you use proportional spacing, you |
|||
may need to use ^P@ to make sure the columns line up. |
|||
Remember that the column position set with ^P@ is determined |
|||
by the normal pitch character width. (See "Columns" and |
|||
"Proportional spacing" in the "Reference Guide." |

11 Dec 88 |
|||
|
|||
Some changes have been made to COPY since the manual was written. |
|||
Comparison of dates with Existence testing ON has been changed to |
|||
use the Creation date when no Modified date exists, and print |
|||
"Undated" when neither exists, yet both source and destination |
|||
disks support file date stamping. Additionally, the /X option |
|||
has been re-defined, and a new /R option has been added to |
|||
Version 1.4. Please replace Paragraph 4.1.2.9 on page 55 of your |
|||
ZSDOS manual with the following two paragraphs describing the new |
|||
options. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
4.1.2.9.1 ERASE SOURCE FILE AFTER COPY. |
|||
|
|||
When you want to "move" a file from one area to another, the "X" |
|||
option may be used. This option causes a file or group of files |
|||
to be copied in the manner described by the default or specified |
|||
options, but after the copy and optional verify, the source file |
|||
or files are erased. You will be notified that the file has been |
|||
erased by the status "(X)" being printed on your console. To |
|||
minimize the possibility of deleting a good file when errors |
|||
exist in the copy, the Verify option should always be active, |
|||
either by default, or specified. When Verify is active, any |
|||
errors detected will disable the "X" option for that file so that |
|||
a good source file will not be deleted. The "X" option has no |
|||
configurable value, and is always assumed to be "Off" requiring |
|||
the option in the command line list to be effective. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
4.1.2.9.2 COPY ONLY FILES WHICH EXIST (REPLACE). |
|||
|
|||
Occasionally, you may wish to update selected files to a destina- |
|||
tion in a simpler manner than naming each file, or using the |
|||
Inspect option. The "R" (Replace) option, when active, tells |
|||
COPY to transfer only files which exist on the destination direc- |
|||
tory. If the Archive option (A) is added in conjunction with the |
|||
Replace option, only files which have not been archived, AND |
|||
already exist on the destination will be archived. It should be |
|||
noted that the No Replacement (N) option is incompatible with |
|||
both the Replace and Archive options, and is disabled when either |
|||
"R" or "A" are active. |

FILEATTR |
|||
Version 1.6 |
|||
|
|||
Gene Pizzetta |
|||
January 18, 1992 |
|||
A ZSDOS utility, copyright (c) 1988 by Carson Wilson. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
FILEATTR (FA) is a utility that allows rapid settin, resetting, |
|||
or displaying of file attributes under ZSDOS, ZRDOS, and CP/M |
|||
2.2. Several additional features are available under ZCPR3, |
|||
including error flag setting, error handler invocation, an |
|||
enhanced display, and better error detection. |
|||
|
|||
FA will not run under CP/M 3.0 or Z3PLUS. |
|||
|
|||
USAGE: |
|||
|
|||
FILEATTR {dir:}{afn} {{/}options} |
|||
|
|||
If a DIR or DU specification is not given, the current directory |
|||
is assumed (under vanilla CP/M only the drive is significant). |
|||
If no ambiguous or unambiguous filename is given, all files |
|||
("*.*") are matched. |
|||
|
|||
If no attribute options are given, FILEATTR merely displays the |
|||
current state of each file's attributes. Files are displayed in |
|||
the order that they appear in the directory. |
|||
|
|||
Once operation begins, FA cannot be aborted by the user. If a ^C |
|||
is entered at the keyboard, all screen output stops, but file |
|||
attribute operations continue to completion. If that was not the |
|||
case, attributes might be set on some entries for a file and not |
|||
on others. Nevertheless, suppressing screen output speeds things |
|||
up a bit. |
|||
|
|||
OPTIONS: A leading slash is required unless the option list is |
|||
the second parameter on the command line. Options may be |
|||
separated by spaces, commas, or nothing at all. |
|||
|
|||
ATTRIBUTE OPTIONS: These options set (turn on) corresponding |
|||
attributes on files matching the file specification. Attributes |
|||
not specified by an attribute option remain unchanged. |
|||
|
|||
If the option is preceded by a minus ("-") or by an "N", the |
|||
corresponding attribute is reset (turned off). |
|||
|
|||
1 F1. This is a user attribute which has no predefined |
|||
meaning. |
|||
|
|||
P Public (f2). Under ZSDOS, when this attribute is set, |
|||
a file is available from any user area of the disk on |
|||
which it resides. A file cannot be made public if |
|||
another file with the same name exists in any other |
|||
user area on that drive. In that case FA will issue an |
|||
error message and leave the attribute off. |
|||
|
|||
D Inhibit access datestamp (f3). Under ZSDOS, when this |
|||
attribute is set, the file's access datestamp will not |
|||
be updated, which may speed file access slightly. If |
|||
the attribute is turned off, normal access datestamping |
|||
resumes. |
|||
|
|||
4 F4. This is a user attribute which has no predefined |
|||
meaning. |
|||
|
|||
W Wheel protect (f8). Under ZSDOS, when this attribute |
|||
is set, the file becomes read-only when the wheel byte |
|||
is off and cannot be erased. If the wheel byte is on, |
|||
the file can be erased normally. |
|||
|
|||
R Read only (t1). When this attribute is set, the file |
|||
cannot be erased or modified by most programs. |
|||
|
|||
S System (t2). When this attribute is set, the file |
|||
becomes a "hidden" file that will not be found by most |
|||
directory programs or by most well-behaved utilities |
|||
that accept ambiguous filenames. (FA must find system |
|||
files, of course.) |
|||
|
|||
A Archive (t3). When this attribute is set, it signals |
|||
some archival programs that the file has not been |
|||
modified since it was last backed up. If a file is |
|||
modified, ZSDOS and ZRDOS turn this attribute off. |
|||
CP/M does not fully support this attribute, however. |
|||
|
|||
OTHER OPTIONS: These options affect only the screen display. |
|||
|
|||
Q Quiet mode. Console output is suppressed unless there |
|||
is an error. All other operations are performed |
|||
normally. |
|||
|
|||
X Screen paging off. With this option, screen paging is |
|||
turned off. The screen can still be paused by pressing |
|||
any key except ^C. |
|||
|
|||
ERRORS: Under ZCPR3, errors will cause FA to set the program |
|||
error flag and to invoke the error handler. The error flag will |
|||
be set to the following values: |
|||
2 invalid directory specification |
|||
4 miscellaneous (conflicting file, no files on disk) |
|||
10 no matching files found (no error handler) |
|||
18 Disk read-only |
|||
19 Invalid option |
|||
|
|||
For error code 10 (no matching files found), the error flag is |
|||
set, but the error handler is not called. |
|||
|
|||
In addition, under ZCPR 3.3 and above, an invalid directory |
|||
specification will abort FA to the error handler, but no message |
|||
is printed. |
|||
|
|||
The following error messages may be seen: |
|||
|
|||
Conflicting entry, can't set public attribute |
|||
If there are files with the same name in other user areas of |
|||
the disk, the public attribute cannot be set. |
|||
|
|||
No files on disk |
|||
The disk directory is empty. |
|||
|
|||
Bad Option: /o |
|||
The command line option shown is unknown to FILEATTR. |
|||
|
|||
Drive R/O |
|||
The drive is set to read-only by the operating system and |
|||
attributes cannot be changed. |
|||
|
|||
CP/M version 2.x required |
|||
FILEATTR will not run on this system. |
|||
|
|||
BIOS write error near directory sector n |
|||
An error occurred at or near the given directory sector, |
|||
which is expressed as a decimal offset from the beginning of |
|||
the directory. |
|||
|
|||
BIOS set track detected - FA aborting |
|||
A background program is attempting to modify the current |
|||
track setting. The background program must be removeed |
|||
before running FA again. |
|||
|
|||
Not Wheel |
|||
Under ZCPR3 the wheel byte must be set before FILEATTR can |
|||
be run. |
|||
|
|||
CONFIGURATION: While no installation is necessary, all options |
|||
can be set as defaults, if you prefer, using ZCNFG. The |
|||
configuration options are fully explained on the ZCNFG help |
|||
screens. |
|||
|
|||
It is best not to change the name of the configuration file. Its |
|||
special name assures that ZCNFG will always find the correct CFG |
|||
file, even if the name of FA has been changed or if more than one |
|||
version of FA is online. |
|||
|
|||
HISTORY: |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.6 -- April 14, 1991 -- Gene Pizzetta |
|||
Now displays target DU and directory name in summary. Fixed |
|||
bug that caused "GO" to be displayed as program name, if it |
|||
was re-invoked with the GO command. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.5 -- March 27, 1991 -- Gene Pizzetta |
|||
Now calls CP/M version checking routine (it was there, but |
|||
it wasn't called). Changed error codes: 10, no matching |
|||
files found. "No files on disk" error now gets |
|||
miscellaneous error code (4). Error 10 does not invoke |
|||
error handler. Not released. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.4 -- March 20, 1991 -- Gene Pizzetta, Howard Goldstein |
|||
Code to check module data byte (S2) was replaced by Howard |
|||
Goldstein's elegant solution which uses a "true" extent |
|||
number: ((data_mod * 32) + extent). Entering a ^C no |
|||
longer really aborts FILEATTR; instead FA immediately prints |
|||
"Wait..." on the screen, turns off paging, turns on quiet |
|||
mode, sets the results flag, and finishes what it was doing. |
|||
All this is to prevent unexpected results when only some of |
|||
a file's directory entries are changed. All errors |
|||
including a conflicting file found during a PUBLIC request, |
|||
now set the program error flag and invoke the error handler |
|||
so an active SUBMIT or ZEX script can be aborted. The error |
|||
flag will have the following values: 2, invalid directory; |
|||
10, no files on disk; 18, disk is read-only; 19, invalid |
|||
option; 4, all other errors. If no matching files are |
|||
found, the program error flag will be set to FFh, but the |
|||
error handler will not be invoked. A few other code changes |
|||
were made, including a check for CP/M-Plus, under which |
|||
FILEATTR will not work. Not released. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.3 -- February 22, 1991 -- Gene Pizzetta |
|||
Corrected bug that caused faulty operation on large files: |
|||
The module data byte (S2) byte was not being checked, so |
|||
such files appeared 2 or more times in the directory display |
|||
and the public routine was often not finding conflicting |
|||
files. Added configuration byte and command line option (X) |
|||
for screen paging (paging is suppressed in quiet mode). |
|||
Made quiet mode responsive to ZCPR quiet flag and changed Q |
|||
command line option to toggle. Usage screen reflects |
|||
current effect of X and Q toggles. Attribute configuration |
|||
area changed to be compatible with ZCNFG TOGL3 routine. |
|||
Actions of D and ND options reversed so they work the same |
|||
as the others. Added configuration byte for printing |
|||
summary line even in quiet mode, as suggested by Howard |
|||
Goldstein. Removed blank lines from screen display, |
|||
allowing three more filenames to be shown. Removed tabs |
|||
from usage screen so PRINT and PSTR are not needed. |
|||
Eliminated leading zero from user number display. Now |
|||
prints "file" instead of "files" in summary when only 1 |
|||
matching file is found. Ditto for attribute(s) altered. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.2 -- November 30, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Fixed bug of no program name display when FILEATTR's name |
|||
was 8 characters long. |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.1 -- October 30, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Now wildcards the command forms "FA d: /options" and "FA d: |
|||
options." |
|||
|
|||
Version 1.0 -- September 26, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
If a filespec is given, no leading slash is required before |
|||
the options. Link with version 4 libraries. Removed /X |
|||
option--ZSDOS 10T always closes the first extent when a file |
|||
is written to. Changed summary to read "files matched". |
|||
|
|||
Version 0.9 -- July 7, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Increased length of search FCB (AMBFIL) by one byte. Set up |
|||
AMBFIL as '?' + 35 binary 0's. ZRDOS and CP/M zero the |
|||
drive byte (FCB+0) during search next calls, so reinitialize |
|||
it to '?' before rescanning the directory. PROGID now |
|||
prints stored name on GO/JUMP. |
|||
|
|||
Version 0.8 -- June 26, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Use SYSLIB PRINT for help display. VPRINT does not expand |
|||

|||
Allows '-' as well as 'N' for "negate option." Auto- |
|||
wildcards FCB1 for attribute set as well as display. |

Version 0.7 -- May 24, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Cosmetic changes to help, display. Made public routines |
|||
faster by 1/2 directory scan average. Consolidated file |
|||
attribute setting/resetting routines for efficiency and |
|||
clarity. |
|||
|
|||
Version 0.6 -- May 14, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Changed "Publ" to "Publc" and "Priv" to "Privt". Added Q |
|||
and X options, made options installable. Added test for bad |
|||
ZCPR directory & chain to error handler. |
|||
|
|||
Version 0.5 -- May 4, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Fixed bug at CHKRO inherited from MAKE.ASM. Uses Bridger |
|||
Mitchell's FRESET to reset disks. Uses ZCPR invocation name |
|||
in signon, help, etc. Added F4 attribute. Now includes all |
|||
valid ZSDOS attributes. Help now fully "smart" under ZCPR. |
|||
Reworked VID3.Z80 and VID4.Z80 from VLIB11 and moved them |
|||
into FA.Z80 (see end of file). Put STNDOUT mode ON by |
|||
default at beginning of each attribute display sequence for |
|||
faster ZCPR displays. |
|||
|
|||
Version 0.4 -- April 27, 1988 -- Carson Wilson |
|||
Tests for matching files at other user areas before setting |
|||
the public attribit. |
|||

|||
An update and bug-fix of FILEATTR (FA), a ZSDOS utility that |
|||
allows rapid setting, resetting, or displaying of file attributes |
|||
under ZSDOS, ZRDOS, and CP/M 2.2. Several additional features |
|||
are available under ZCPR3, including error flag setting, error |
|||
handler invocation, and an enhanced display. Version 1.6A adds |
|||
documentation; otherwise, same as 1.6. |

Option Q -- If the ZCPR quiet flag is set, FILEATTR will always default to |
|||
quiet mode. To make quiet mode the default at all times, even when running |
|||
under CP/M, set this configuration option to "Yes". Whatever is selected |
|||
here can be toggled with the command line "Q" option. |
|||
|
|||
Option X -- A "Yes" will cause FILEATTR to page screen output by default. |
|||
A "No" will default to continuous scrolling. The chosen default can be |
|||
toggled with the command line "X" option. Screen paging is always turned |
|||
off in quiet mode. |
|||
|
|||
Option R -- As distributed, FILEATTR prints nothing to the screen when it |
|||
is operating in quiet mode. If this configuration option is "Yes", the |
|||
results summary line that gives the number of matching files found and the |
|||
number of attributes changed will be printed even in quiet mode. |
|||
|
|||
Option S -- Enter the number of lines on your video display screen. Under |
|||
ZCPR 3.3 and higher, the number of screen lines for paging is obtained from |
|||
the environment descriptor. This configuration parameter is used only if |
|||
running under CP/M. |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
Attribute Configuration Options |
|||
|
|||
As distributed, FILEATTR will not change any file attribute unless |
|||
explicitly commanded to do so by a command line option. To configure |
|||
FILEATTR to turn a file attribute ON or OFF by default, toggle the |
|||
appropriate configuration selection. |
|||
|
|||
For example, to make FILEATTR set all matching files to Public by default, |
|||
change the "Public attribute" setting to "Turn On". Then FILEATTR will set |
|||
the specified files to Public unless the /NP command line option is given |
|||
(which would cause the files to be set to Private). Since there is no |
|||
command which tells FILEATTR not to change an attribute, however, the |
|||
program will now insist on turning the Public attribute either on (default) |
|||
or off (through the /NP option). |
|||
|
|||
Most users will have neither need nor desire to change the configuration |
|||
default as distributed which will "Leave As-Is" all matching files. |
