@ -791,23 +791,34 @@ cases, it was built into the original operating system. In other cases,
I have added this capability in the RomWBW BIOS of the operating
system.
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.
- **CP/M 2.2** - Will run PROFILE.SUB as a SUBMIT file if it exists in
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.
- **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.
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.
