- Dear Jeff:
-
- Here are some freeware CP/M gems that I've created over the years.
- I'm grateful for the opportunity to give them wider distribution.
- Thanks for offering and maintaining the oakland CP/M archives.
-
- These utilities can be freely distributed, provided no more than
- a token fee is charged for disk duplication. (See each package
- for specific details.)
-
- In addition to the above gems, I have a great little program that,
- using single-keystroke commands, invokes and teaches each of the
- disk I/O functions of CP/M. The program is called TUTORI/O, and
- was reviewed in DR. DOBB'S JOURNAL, Number 84, October 1983,
- pp. 112, 115. TUTORI/O currently retails for $40.
-
- If you have suggestions for marketing TUTORI/O, I would appreciate
- hearing them. (I've been out of the CP/M swim for several years.)
-
- Thanks,
-
- Roy Lipscomb

- file which I have just now uploaded:

-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Multi-line descriptions:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- HOST-ALL.LBR
-
- Turns your system into a simple BBS system, giving any remote
- caller control of your system identical to your own. That is,
- the remote keyboard and your local keyboard become "identical
- twins." Ditto the remote display and your local display.
- (Useful for remote diagnosis and as a simple RCP/M system.)
- Includes separate log-on password program.
-
- DDTF5.LBR
- A "find string" utility that loads above DDT, ZDT, or other
- debugger. Can locate an ASCII string, a HEX string, or
- a set of machine or assembly language commands.
-
- ECHO31.LBR
- Turns off console output. Useful in batch jobs. (Like the
- ECHO command of PC-DOS.)
-
- BACK2DDT.AQ2
- Load DDT and this program, and you can exit from any other
- program back to DDT by just pressing control-B. (Unsqueeze
- and rename to BACK2DDT.ASM before assembling.)
-
- BLISTER.AZM
- Load this before you load MBASIC, and the LIST command of
- MBASIC will wait after each 22 lines until you press RETURN.
-
- SAFRAM6.LBR
- Multi-purpose utility that lowers the top of the TPA. Some
- uses: 1. Keeping a free area in RAM for storing variables.
- 2. Protecting transient filters from removal by
- warmboot.
- 3. Allowing otherwise incompatible filters to co-
- exist in memory.
- 4. Enabling EX15.COM to nest .SUB files.
- 5. Protects CCP, so CPM can reboot without reloading.
-
- SUPERMT5.LBR
- A set of BASIC-like commands that let you turn .SUB files into
- "programs." (Does not include manual.)
-
- RAP.LBR
- Redirects printer output to a disk file instead. To install,
- type RAP (or RAP filename). RAP deinstalls at next warmboot.
