File name: WM.ASM Description of customization process for WordMaster 1.06 WM.CTL | WM.SYM | are files to be used with 'RESOURCE.COM' to ease the WM.DOC | customization process Author: Trevor Marshall, 26 Mirrelia Way, Ferndale, Western Australia 6155. phone International (619)457 6059 National (09)4576059 Submitted by: author This program is public domain because: 1. They contain no material proprietry to MicroPro 2. They are of no use to people who are not licencees of WordMaster 3. They were produced by the author. All symbols in the files are original. All documentation was written by author To whom would this program be useful: People using WordMaster People using CDOS who would like a good editor capable of using the 'motors off' feature of CDOS Briefly describe the program function: The .SYM, .CTL, .DOC files can be read using Ward Christensen's RESOURCE.COM together with the licensee's copy of WordMaster. These files enable a partial disassembly of WordMaster only by licensees of that product. The WM.ASM file describes how the users copy of WordMaster can then be customized. In particular the following are facilitated: 1. Customization of cursor control characters 2. Customization of video mode control characters 3. Control of CDOS motors off feature by WordMaster. Where is further documentation available: WM.ASM Hardware dependencies: Nil, but CROMEMCO users can use the 'motors off' feature. Software dependencies: Needs WM.COM (WordMaster) RESOURCE.COM (From previous users group disk) Source processor: not applicable Does the software "drop in": Yes How easy is the code to modify: Relatively easy, but note that the WM.CTL file is not reliable in sections of WordMaster other than those discussed in WM.ASM ; How to customize the keyboard codes on WM 1.06 ; ; by Trevor Marshall ; 26 Mirrelia Way, ; Ferndale, West Australia 6155 ; phone (619)4576059 ; SUMMARY║áá Modification≤áá t∩á customizσá WordMaste≥á 1.0╢áá arσ ì described«á Thσá RESOURCE.CO═ file≤ createΣ durinτ thi≤á proces≤ ì arσá presen⌠á oεá thσ disk¼á anΣ ma∙ bσ useΣ b∙á ßá licenceσá oµ ì WordMaster 1.06 to patch his WordMaster similarly.

THE FIRST SUBMITTAL IS "FDOS.ASM" WHICH ALLOWS THE USER TO ACCESS PERTEC / ICOM FDOS III OPERATING SYSTEM DISKETTE FILES ON A SINGLE DENSITY DISKETTE IN DRIVE B:. THIS PROGRAM WILL RUN ON ANY CP/M COMPUTER WITH A SINGLE DENSITY 8" DRIVE B:. THE FDOS DIRECTORY MAY BE READ, FILES MAY BE TRANSFERRED DIRECTLY TO A CP/M FILE, AND A CP/M FILE MAY BE WRITTEN ON TO THE FDOS III DISKETTE. THE SECOND SUBMITTAL "MTX.ASM" IS A PROGRAM TO ACCESS PERTEC MTX BASIC FILES ON A DOUBLE DENSITY DISK IN DRIVE B:. THE NATURE OF THE DISKETTE FORMAT REQUIRES THE PROGRAM TO RUN UNDER LIFEBOAT CP/M 1.4 ON A PERTEC FD3812 DISK SYSTEM. THE MTX DIRECTORY MAY BE DISPLAYED AT THE CONSOLE, MTX FILES MAY BE COPIED DIRECTLY TO LIFEBOAT 3812 FORMAT CP/M FILES, AND A CP/M FILE MAY BE PLACED UPON THE MTX DISKETTE. THE THIRD PROGRAM "MTX2000.ASM" IS A PROGRAM TO ACCESS PERTEC MTX BASIC FILES ON A DOUBLE DENSITY DISK IN DRIVE B:. THE NATURE OF THE DISKETTE FORMAT REQUIRES THE PROGRAM TO RUN UNDER PERTEC CP/M 1.4 ON A PERTEC PCC 2000 COMPUTER WITH DOUBLE DENSITY FLOPPY CAPABILITY. THE MTX DIRECTORY MAY BE DISPLAYED AT THE CONSOLE, MTX FILES MAY BE COPIED DIRECTLY TO PERTEC PCC 2000 FORMAT CP/M FILES, AND A CP/M FILE MAY BE PLACED UPON THE MTX DISKETTE. THE LAST PROGRAM IS A NEAT LITTLE ULILITY THAT ALLOWS A PERTEC PCC 2000 FORMAT CP/M 1.4 DOUBLE DENSITY DISKETTE TO BE ACCESSED IN DRIVE B: OF AN ICOM 3812 RUNNING UNDER LIFEBOAT CP/M 1.4. THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT THE CP/M SYSTEM SIZE BE 24K BYTES TO ALLOW ROOM FOR A TRANSIENT BIOS PATCH TO MOVED INTO MEMORY ABOVE THE NORMAL BIOS LOCATION. OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM IS TO SIMPLY RUN "PCC2000B.COM". FROM THEN TILL THE NEXT COLD BOOT TIME THE DRIVE B: DISK DRIVERS WILL ASSUME PCC 2000 FORMAT CP/M DISK CHARACTERISTICS. THE FUNCTION OF THE UTILITY IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LIFEBOAT 3812 CP/M PROGRAM CALLED SINGLEB. MICHAEL J. KARAS MICRO RESOURCES 2468 HANSEN CT. SIMI VALLEY, CA 93065
