THE BEST OF THE RCP/M RCP-BEST.002 (as of 10/20/83)
---------------------
This document will help you decide which programs to download
from the RCP/M. It is based on records kept by the XMODEM log,
and the files listed here are the MOST downloaded.
I will update this list from time to time and will change the
version number to indicate an update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ALIENS11.OBJ/DQC A popular game based on Space Invaders
AREACODE.OBJ A nice little electronic 'black book' that
will instantly tell you where a given areacode is located.
BANZAI.AQM Every programmers dream come true. Just add
this to your pride and joy program along with a (c) notice and
your name. First time some clown tries to alter it the fireworks
start. It will scramble the whole file and make it unusable.
BDLOC.OBJ Utility to locate the base-page address of
system. Handy when using BYE or other high-ram programs.
BISHOW16.OBJ A very misunderstood name. It means Bi-Show.
You can view files backwards or forwards. Very nice...
BYE2-16 (AKA BYEII, BYEII+) The remote console program
which allows running a RBBS or RCP/M system.
CAT.OBJ, FMAP.OBJ, UCAT.OBJ, CAT.SUB The older CP/M file
cataloging programs. For the most part they have all been
replaced by NCATxx.OBJ which has all these features in one with
a very simple operating system.
CRCK.OBJ Another MUST if you do MODEM xfers, allows you to
see the actual CRC value for a file. Compare what you get to the
reading obtained from the RCP/M. Most systems have CRCK
available for use on any file in the system.
DISK76x.OBJ A handy little disk maintenance program
allowing you to copy files from drive to drive, mass tag files
for transfer, erase files.
DU-V80.OBJ This one is an absolute MUST. It allows you to
examine and modify the actual hex data residing on your disks.
FILE14.OBJ Got a hard disk and lots of files on diff users?
This program most commonly named FILEFIND will search all
drive/users to locate a spec'd file.
FIND.OBJ Will find ASCII strings in TXT, ASM, or any ASCII
source file. Can be used with the MAST.CAT to find files, etc.
FINDBD54.OBJ The universal bad sector locater and locker
outer program. It finds bad sectors on a disk and then locks
them out allowing you to use the disk. It puts all bad sectors
into a file called [UNUSED BAD].
LISTT13.OBJ Gives you the ability to LIST a file to the
printer in paginated form and with page #'s, headings, etc.
LU300.OBJ An absolute MUST again. Allows you to create,
alter and modify LBR files. Most all systems are now using LBR
files to maintain groups of related files in one location.
MAKE20.OBJ This can change the user assignment byte of file
to move it to another user area w/out PIPing
MDM712.OBJ This main MODEM program along with all its
support files has to be the best modem program going today.
There are patch files available for every computer/modem
combination you can imagine. A MUST for working RCP/M's...
MENU-V2.OBJ Allows you to have a simple to use menu-driven
disk. Lists all COM, BAS, or INT files for easy "pick a number"
operation.
NCAT32.OBJ This is a MUST for keeping track of whats what
on all your disks. A very simple complete CATaloging program for
CP/M disks. Put an ID # on all your disks and run them thru NCAT
and a complete list is generated.
NSWP199.OBJ The latest SWEEP program written in machine
language and only 8K. It does everything! Allows mass-tag of
files for ERAse or COPY, unsqueezes a file during move, sets
status of files, views files, prints files, need I say more?
PAGE.OBJ A nice ZCPR utility for all CP/M users. Allows
you to TYPE a file with any given speed delay, pagination, and
many more options.
PASSWORD.OBJ Put a password on your secret COM file for
security or just fun. But once passworded you cannot remove it.
RBBS31.BAS The basic source code for the Bulletin Boards
programs most RCP/M and BBS systems use.
SD-71.OBJ The latest in a long line of Super Directory
programs. These replace your resident DIR command and show files
in 'K' size, member files inside LBR's, output to printer, output
to disk file, paginate, clear screen, all drives, all users, etc.
SORTDIR3.OBJ This will clean-up your directory tracks by
putting the files in alphabetical order and moving all erased
(e5) files at the end. Allows programs like SD to run faster.
T.OBJ This allows the use of Word Star generated text files
to be used without WS.COM It will filter out the WS imbedded
characters for easy printing/viewing.
TELL.OBJ The name says it all. It will tell you your
addresses for I/O assignments like CONOUT, warmstart, cool boot,
and just about all the important ones for setting up BYE or
XMODEM programs.
TYPE109.OBJ Dave Rand again. This is a 2K TYPE program
that will view squeezed or regular ASCII files to console. It is
custom setable with DDT for # of lines per page, number of lines
max, no $sys files, etc.
UNERAxx.OBJ Everybody should have this one for the time
when stupidity strikes us all. This will UNERAse an erased file.
USQ119.OBJ Dave Rand's new 2K file unsqueezer. An absolute
MUST when tele-computing as all systems now 'squeeze' the files.
Accepts wildcards (i.e. USQ *.*) and is very F A S T !!
W-SHELP.LBR This file contains some much needed help if you
are using Word Star. To much to describe here - just get it.
XMODEM75x.ASM The backbone of any RCP/M system. Allows
remote callers to transfer CP/M files. Newer versions all have
the ability to transfer member files from LBR's and keep a
running log file of all transfers.
ZCPR and all mods thereof 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.2, 2.23 etc etc
Richard Conn's replacement CCP for CP/M users. There are over
500K of document files to support all this, just about every
utility program imaginable is also available. An absolute MUST
for anyone using a Hard Disk system and very handy on floppy disk
systems as well. New revisions, utilities, and docs coming out
all the time. Allows searching of all drives for command files,
named sub directories, re-directable I/O paths, EVERYTHING...
