- Notes for BISHOW32
-
- BISHOW32.AD3 contains terminal control codes for the ADM-31. Many other
- terminals also use these same codes. Rename it to BISHOW.COM (or whatever).
-
- BISHOW32.Z19 contains terminal control codes for the common Heath/Zenith
- series of terminals. It will work on an ADM-31 but, when backing up, pages
- will scroll into place without blanking the screen first (a source of mild
- visual confusion at first, but the results are the same as soon as all the
- lines are on the screen).
-
- These 2k versions, as distributed, will read library member files, and
- will also read squeezed files whether or not they are enclosed in libraries,
- but it is possible to assemble a very short (1k) version that doesn't include
- the code for squeezed or library files. Typing BISHOW (with no file name) will
- show whether your version works on library files, on squeezed files, or both,
- or neither.
-
- Typing BISHOW UNKNOWNZ.LBR (no member name) will show the .LBR directory.
- Then type BISHOW UNKNOWNZ MEMBER.FIL to read a member file from the library.
-
- To move around in the file you're reading, use the Wordstar cursor key
- pad, including ^S^D for horizontal scrolling. Press 1 or T to jump back to
- the top of the file. Press Q to quit (leaving the screen intact) or ESC to
- quit (clearing the screen). See BISHOW32.ME for a handy list of all the
- command keys for both the short and the long versions.
-
- You will need the original 48k .ASM file to assemble the long 4k version
- that includes help (and other stuff that really isn't worth the extra 2k),
- or to install unsupported terminals, or to change the command key mapping.
- If you found this on SEAMUG's Greatest Hits, or if for some other reason you
- don't have the .ASM file, it should probably be available from Seattle's
- Downspout at 1-206-325-1325.
