- PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE DIRECTORY DISKETTE
-
- The information on this diskette is taken from public domain
- software volumes collected and released by the CP/MUG and PICONET
- Users Groups. A companion diskette, contains listings of the
- SIG/M User Group.
-
- DIRECTORY FILE FORMAT:
-
- The content and format of the directories as released by
- CPMUG, SIG/M, PASCALZ and PICONET vary considerably. To
- standardize the listing on the directory (.DIR) files, the
- original directory formats have been modified to the following
- four fields:
-
- FILE# FILENAME SIZE CRC DISCRIPTION
-
- The directory files (CPMUG.DIR and PNET.DIR) on this
- diskette are shortened descriptions of the -Catalog.xxx files
- from each CP/MUG and Piconet User Group volume. Descriptions
- have been added where none existed, extraneous verbage has been
- removed from the comments, and in some cases existing wording has
- been clarified. Only one line has been used per file to permit
- better use of FIND.COM.
-
- HOW TO USE THIS DISKETTE:
-
- The directory files, CPMUG.DIR and PNET.DIR can be console
- displayed or hard printed-out directly, or FIND ( on this
- diskette) can be used to locate the types of program you are
- looking for. To locate a particular file or files, type the
- following:
-
- FIND B: filename.typ string
-
- This example command string can be broken down into the
- following parts for easier understanding:
-
- B: - The drive number on which you want to search
- (optional). If not specified, the default option will be the
- drive you are logged onto.
-
- <filename.typ> - This is the name of the file (e.g.
- CPMUG.DIR) that you want to be searched. Wild card inputs
- compatible with CP/M are permitted in the filename - (e.g. *.DIR
- will cause all of the .DIR files on the drive specified to be
- searched.) See FIND.DOC for more information.
-
- <string> - This is the ASCII string to search for in
- the file, <filename.typ>.
-
- The FIND utility will scan the specified file
- <filename.typ>, looking for lines containing the selected
- 'string'. All directory lines (files) which have the selected
- 'string' will be printed and/or displayed. You may also search
- for particular file names or common words such as modem, doc,
- pas, bas, game, etc. (any ASCII string found in 'filename.typ')
- To display all of a particular volume, enter the string (e.g.
- 'C90' for CP/MUG volume 90, 'P07' for PICONET volume 07) or use
- just '.' and get all entries on the <filename.typ> file(s)
- displayed.
-
- EXAMPLE: FIND CPMUG.DIR MODEM
- (will display all references to MODEM in the
- file CPMUG.DIR)
-
- If you would like to terminate your search early, a control-
- C will immediately return you to the command level of CP/M.
