- NT (Note) - Version 3
-
- Purpose: NT is a 1k program for saving quick notes into a disk file.
- Syntax: NT [DU:]<FILENAME.TYP> [C]
- NT (reports current patches)
- Option: C - CONTROL chars accepted as input.
- Author: Rob Friefeld, Long Beach, CA
-
- In additon to improved handling of control character input, Version 3 handles
- bugs in previous version on 0 length file or TPA overflow.
-
- There are two ways to input:
-
- 1. Normal input is via BDOS function 10. Each line may be edited (with DEL
- or ^X) until <cr> terminates it. A blank line terminates the file.
-
- Note that control characters passed by the BDOS can be input directly.
- (NOT ^E, ^H, ^I, ^J, ^M, ^P, ^U, ^X. ^Z will terminate the file.)
- Something like <ESC>) to turn on dim video will work fine when you
- later TYPE the file.
-
- 2. With the "C" command line option, ALL characters may be input. This
- feature is intended for printer or screen initialization files which can
- then be TYPE'ed or LIST'ed.
-
- In Control Mode all control characters are shown as ^n.
- You may input control characters directly. Editing is restricted to DEL.
- CR terminates the line. CR, DEL and ^P can be input with sequence
- ^Pn or ^P^n. To enter a null (0) use ^P@ (^@ is not accepted by BDOS
- function 6).

-
- Patches:
-
- 103h: 00 - If file exists, DELETE and create new file.
- FF - If file exists, ADD input to end. The last screen
- of the file is printed for reference.
-
- 104h: 00 - If file exists, make BAK file.
- FF - NO BAK file.
-
- 105h: 3A - The ASCII prompt character for each line of input.

- CAUTION: This program cannot be renamed to NOTE in a ZCPR system because of
- the resident command of the same name.
