- MODM700.MSG
- Nov. 4, 1984
-
-
- NOTE: This program when assembled is 73 sectors
- long. Use this figure when merging the
- appropriate overlay file for your computer
- via DDT, etc. (Most of the overlays were
- written when MDM7xx.COM was only 66 sectors
- and the example included in each says to
- store 66 sectors.) For MODM700 use:
-
- B>SAVE 73 MODM700.COM
-
- NOTE: Use M7FNK.COM to easily and quickly change
- any of the 10 function key assignments. You
- can read the M7FNK.DOC file for additional
- information. (by Sigi Kluger.) The log-on
- key (CTL-L can be changed in the overlay.
-
- NOTE: M7LIB.COM is a rapid and surprisingly easy
- way to quickly change any entries in the
- phone number library. See M7LIB.DOC if
- instructions are needed. M7NM-6.ASM is
- necessary for setting or altering numbers
- for 'SPRINT', 'MCI', etc. It would also
- be better if making a lot of changes such
- as adding or deleting '1-' required for
- long distance dialing in some areas.
-
- NOTE: If using the phone number overlay to change
- the phone library numbers, be sure to use:
-
- M7NM-6.ASM
-
- The phone number library contains 36 numbers
- (A-Z plus 0-9)
-
- Most users will not need the lengthy (158k) source code at all.
- Just get MODM700.COM and then check one of the associated over-
- lay programs to obtain the overlay for your particular computer.
- Merge that with MODM700.COM according to the instructions near
- the start of the overlay file, using DDT.COM, etc. (See above
- note relative to saving 73 sectors. STAT.COM would then show
- 146 records for 20k.)
-
- The following bytes can be changed easily with DDT, then SAVE 73
-
- 0DFEH - HEXSHOW 00 = do not show hex record count
- FF = show both hex and decimal count
- 0DFFH - SAVSIZ 20 = 4k file transfer buffer size
- (see table below for other options)
- 0E00H - NUMBLIB (start of telephone number library)
-
- To change the file transfer buffer size via DDT, change byte 0DFFH:
-
- 20 (hex) = 32 records = 4k
- 40 (hex) = 64 records = 8K
- 60 (hex) = 96 records = 12k
- 80 (hex) = 128 records = 16k
-
- (Use the largest value that does not give errors during file
- tranfers when the disk activates. You have about 10 seconds
- before a timeout error would occur. 8" systems can easily
- handle 16k per transfer in 3-4-5 seconds. 5-1/4" systems are
- usually much slower. In that case try 8k or 12k. Default is
- set for 4k as that is known to work satisfactorily on all disk
- systems.)
