This library contains a number of support files, programs and scripts needed
|
|
to bring up a fully functioning BPBIOS Zsystem. These programs and files
|
|
are used and/or loaded by the startup scripts.
|
|
|
|
Some of the support files are startup ZEX scripts, some are Z3+ segment files,
|
|
others are Date and Time stamp drivers, some are command line editors and
|
|
history shells while others are needed to initialize the RAMDRIVE.
|
|
|
|
The following table shows which files are needed to support each of the ten
|
|
BPBIOS variants (BP33N, BP33T, BP33NBNK, BP33TBNK, BP34N, BP34T, BP34NBNK,
|
|
BP34TBNK, BP41NBNK & BBP41TBNK).

Instructions:
|
|
The support files were "crunched" and stored in the library file
|
|
SUPPORT.LBR. Place SUPPORT.LBR on the RAMDRIVE using for example
|
|
XModem. Use LBREXT with the /U option to extract and uncrunch the
|
|
files. First extract ZEX.COM while logged onto the A: drive with the
|
|
following command:
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:ZEX.Z?X /U
|
|
Next place all the .COM files on C15: by typing:
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C15:*.C?M
|
|
The remaining files should be placed in C0:.
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:*.Z?X /U
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:*.Z?L /U
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:*.N?R /U
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:*.Z?T /U
|
|
B0:LBREXT SUPPORT C0:*.T?T /U
|
|
|
|
Note in all BPBIOS variants that A: is the RAMDRIVE, B: is
|
|
the ROMDRIVE and C: is the system drive. Hard drive slices occupy C:
|
|
through N: and floppy drives are O: & P:. A short desciption
