- Additional notes for the CP/M-80 version of BSQ
-
- The file BSQCPM.BSQ contains a BSQ'd (using the "bootstrap" option)
- version of BSQ, compiled under Aztec C V1.06D. To convert this
- file to BSQ.COM, upload the BSQBOOT.HEX file and convert it to a
- .COM file using load or DDT. Run BSQBOOT and it will read
- BSQCPM.BSQ and write BSQ.COM. You can then use BSQ.COM to convert
- other binary files for PBBS storage and retrieval.
-
- A feature of interest is provided by Aztec C: a file name specified
- to BSQ can contain a user area specification. The syntax is:
- u/d:filename.typ
- where "u" is the user area. For example, 8/B:MYFILE.TXT would
- specify a file named MYFILE.TXT on drive B in user area 8.
- Any valid user area, from 0 to 31, can be specified, although
- you should be aware that only user areas up to 15 can be set as
- the default user area by the CP/M "USER" command.
