=================================================================================
XOS-C is a cross-bank operating system enhancement for the Tandy 200 portable
computer. It was created by Paul Globman and originally posted on Compuserve's
M100SIG for free download by M100SIG members. It was originally commercial
software licensed by Paul Globman for $24.95 plus an additional $6.95 for
additional files and documentation. This and all software written by Paul
Globman remains fully copyrighted to Paul Globman.
Per arrangements made by Bob Pigford, Paul Globman now extends a free license
to any user for all his past Model100/102/200 software as long as it is not used
for any commecial purposes. Paul Globman no longer provides any support for
this or any of his other past M100/102/200 software. Please do not contact him
for support. Paul's original Compuserve account is no longer active. You may
contact Bob Pigford (profengr@delanet.com) for information and user experiences.
The remaining text is the original post XOS-C.DO2. Please disregard references to
DL10, M100SIG and the registration information. The additional 5 or 6 files noted
are also made available with Paul Globman's permission by Bob Pigford.
The noted files are provided as .DO (text), .BA (basic), or .CO (machine language
executables). Usually, one will no longer need to download the all text versions
and use HXFER.BA to turn them into usable programs any more.
Registration information and product description of additional XOS-C
utilities provided upon registration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XOS-C, which is available in DL10 for downloading, is a commercial product
being sold via mail order for $24.95. Please keep in mind... XOS-C is NOT
shareware or in the public domain, and is available to M100SIG users ONLY.
XOS-C is not available on ANY other service! It is NOT to be shared with
friends, uploaded to Bulletin Boards, or re-distributed in any way. It is
available in DL10 for the EXCLUSIVE use of M100SIG members.
The XOS-C system shipped on disk, total 28 files (programs and docs), and may
be less expensive to order (via mail) than to download. Downloading requires
converting ASCII files into runable programs (both BASIC loaders and HEX
files). This will require substantial on-line time, since a 2K .CO file will
be downloaded as a 4K+ ASCII file. In some cases, a conversion program
(HXFER.CO) is required to create the necessary files.
---------------------------------------
The files provided on the XOS-C disk would include...
XOS-C system...
XOSLDR.CO XOSDAT.CO XOSSAV.CO XOSUTL.BA
XBASIC.CO MAKLDR.BA
XOS-Command modules...
ALARM.CO CKSM.CO CLEAR.CO DATFIL.CO
INVIS.CO MEMO.CO SETUP.CO X-VIEW.CO
XPRINT.CO
XOS Docs include...
XOSDOC.DO X-TUTR.DO ALARM.DO CKSM.DO
DATFIL.DO MAKLDR.DO MEMO.DO XBASIC.DO
X-VIEW.DO XPRINT.DO README.DO
RAMDSK.CO users get...
SAVE.CO SAVE.DO
---------------------------------------
T200 RAM is insufficient to hold all the material normally sent, so multiple
sessions of...
downloading
filling RAM to capacity
logging off
conversion of files
repeat the above...
...makes the simplicity of ordering XOS less expensive, easier, and XOS will
include some utilities not available on the SIG.
There are several utilities offered (if purchased) that are not available on
the M100SIG. These utilities include...
1)MAKLDR will create a cross bank loader for HIMEM .CO files for use with the
F3(Cmd) key without concern about setting HIMEM.
2)INVIS will make cursor selected files invisible, but unlike the version that
I released on the SIG, this version can also restore all files to the Menu.
3)CLR will restore all RAM to the system, by clearing the paste buffer,
restoring HIMEM to MAXRAM, and releasing all file buffers.
4)SETUP prompts for TIME/DATE/DAY for the quick and easy setting of these
parameters.
5)XPRINT re-directs printer output to a RAM file for use with MSPLAN or TEXT.
This is good for merging spreadsheets into documents, or extracting selected
records and collecting them in separate RAM file. SHIFT/PRINT will
result in a RAM file reflecting current TEXT file, with margins,
formatted and ready for FAX or electronic transfer.
6)SAVE will allow the cursor selected file to be saved directly to the Node
Datapac/RAMPAC. This utility is only provided to RAMDSK.CO users.
These (five or six) files are now being made available to those users who have
downloaded XOS-C from the M100SIG. For $6.95 I will "register" your downloaded
copy of XOS-C, send you these 5 or 6 programs, include you in the "customer"
database, and consider your copy of XOS-C as "purchased".
This offer is for M100SIG users only. You must include your USER ID with your
request for registration.
