Cpmtools is a suite of command line utilities which allow access to
|
|
CP/M file systems. It is available on many platforms. This document
|
|
is targetted at the use of the cpmtools Win32 executables at
|
|
the Windows command prompt by Windows users who know how to use
|
|
command line utilities and disk images
|
|
and who may not wish to create cpmtools executables from
|
|
source code... just to use them.</b>

Just unzip with pathnames intact to the root of your local drive (usually C:)
|
|
and open-up a cmd prompt in the \cpmtools directory (Windows XP and Vista users
|
|
can click-on the cpmtools XP Shortcut)
|
|
and you should be good to go. The document you are reading and the program description documents
|
|
that it links to are included in the Windows zip file. To use them just click-on them from Windows explorer and
|
|
in the \cpmtools\docs directory and
|
|
they will load into your favorite web browser.

The distribution noted above has the following customizations:</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>The default disk image format is apple-do</b>. This means that if you are working
|
|
with Apple II DOS 3.3 order disk images you never need to include the -f apple-do
|
|
format option when typing in your command line.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>The diskdefs file is called \cpmtools\diskdefs</b>. This has been hardcoded
|
|
into the executables. This means that you can add the \cpmtools directory
|
|
to your PATH and the disk and disk image format definitions file will be found.
|
|
Users of earlier versions of Windows than XP that support Win32 will need to open a command
|
|
prompt and run \cpmtools\cpmtools.bat to set their PATH.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>A Windows XP Shortcut has been added for Windows XP Users</b>. This should
|
|
also work in Windows Vista. This means that Windows XP and Vista users can just
|
|
click on this shortcut in Windows Explorer or the Shortcut can be copied to
|
|
the desktop.

Outside cygwin just unzip with pathnames intact to the root of the drive that the cygwin
|
|
version 5 directory is installed on (\cygwin is assumed). If you are doing this inside cygwin
|
|
using zip and cygwin is installed on C:, then cd \cygdrive\c before un-zipping.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The cygwin installation comes complete with the manpages but not the html manual.
|
|
It overlays your cygwin installation so review the zip before installing.

Other than that, it is what you would get if you built from scratch then installed

using "make install". If you wish to know more you should download
|

the source as well.
