I have added this capability in the RomWBW BIOS of the operating |

In all cases, the file containing the commands to run at startup must |
|
|
|
be on the boot drive (A:). RomWBW automatically assigns A: to the |
|
|
|
disk slice you choose to boot. Adding a startup command file to the |
|
|
|
ROM Disk is not recommended because it would require customizing and |
|
|
|
building a new ROM. Use of bootable disk slices is preferred since |
|
|
|
the startup command files can be added/edited without any special |
|
|
|
system customization. |

Here is an overview for each operating system: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **CP/M 2.2** - Will run PROFILE.SUB as a SUBMIT file if it exists in |
|
|
|
A: at startup. Note that CP/M 2.2 itself does not have this ability -- |
|
|
|
I added it to the RomWBW CP/M 2.2 BIOS. So, it will not be documented |
|
|
|
in the normal CP/M 2.2 manual. |

|
|
|
A: at startup. Note that original CP/M 2.2 itself did not have this |
|
|
|
ability -- it was added to the RomWBW CP/M 2.2 BIOS. The use of SUBMIT |
|
|
|
files is documented in Section 1.6.7 SUBMIT Command of the CPM Manual |
|
|
|
included in the Doc/CPM folder of the RomWBW distribution. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Z-System (ZSDOS 1.1)** - Will run run PROFILE.SUB as a SUBMIT file |
|
|
|
if it exists in A: at startup. Works exactly the same as CP/M 2.2. Not |
|
|
|
part of the operating system, but added by me, so it is not documented |
|
|
|
in the ZSDOS Manual. |

The original Z-System ZSDOS 1.1 did not have this ability -- it was |

added to the RomWBW Z-System BIOS. The Z-System documentation does |
|
|
|
not cover the use of SUBMIT files -- please refer to the CP/M 2.2 |
|
|
|
documentation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **NZCOM** - Will run the command STARTZCM at startup. This is |
|
|
|
normally an alias file. You use SALIAS to edit such files. Please see |
|
|
|
Section 3.1 Creating an Alias of the NZCOM Users Manual included in the |
|
|
|
Doc/CPM folder of the RomWBW distribution. Note that the NZCOM |
|
|
|
distribution inclues a PROFILE.SUB file. NZCOM itself is launched from |

|
|
distribution includes a PROFILE.SUB file. NZCOM itself is launched from |
|
|
|
ZSDOS. The included PROFILE.SUB accomplishes this. Do not modify this |
|
|
|
file unless you fully understand the NZCOM boot process. |
