CP/M 3

======



  This archive contains an almost complete build of CP/M 3.



  If you have the source distribution, the file MAKING.DOC explains how to

set up the build environment on your computer.



Differences from Digital Research CP/M 3

========================================



  All the CP/M 3 patches described in the document CPM3FIX.PAT have been

applied to the source code, except those to INITDIR. Patches 1-18 (except

nos. 5 and 9) were applied.



  CP/M 3 is now fully Year 2000 compliant. This affects the programs 

DATE.COM, DIR.COM and SHOW.COM.



  Dates can be displayed in US, UK or Year-Month-Day format. This is set by 

SETDEF:



      SETDEF [US]

      SETDEF [UK]

      SETDEF [YMD]  respectively.

  

  The CCP has a further bug fix: A command sequence such as:



  C1

  :C2

  :C3



  will now not execute the command C3 if the command C1 failed.



What's missing?

===============

INITDIR.COM - because it is written in PL/I and I can't make the

            PL/I compiler at <http://cdl.uta.edu/cpm> compile it.

            Apparently a more recent version of the compiler is 

            required.
