                              Get Library Files

GLF shows the files within declared library file and then prompts for the
file list to extract.  Wild cards in the names are permitted as is multiple
names separated by commas.

  Syntax:
          glf //<cr>       Short help message
          glf<cr>          Error message
          glf libname<cr>  Show directory of files within
                           declared library file, then prompts
                           for file list.

At prompt, enter desired files to extract:

                             fn.ft,fn2.ft2,*.ft3

GLF uses LLF, GETVAR, and RESOLVE utilities, all located in ROOT directory.
:f

                               Get Parameters

GH displays a list of parameters that expand and are passed to command
processor.

  Syntax:
          gp //<cr>      display a short help message
          gp<cr>         display table of parameters on console

Parameters and their expansion for ALIAS, ARUNZ, RESOLVE, SH, VFILER, MEMU,
MENU, and ZEX are compared in table format.

VID utility is used to display file PARAMS.TBL using screen highlightling.
Both VID and TBL are in ROOT directory.

:w

                               Word Frequency

Display word count, unique words, and words used only once in selected file.
Also scan table of words and number of times each is used.

  Syntax:
          wf //<cr>          get internal help message
          wf fn.ft<cr>       get word statistics on fn.ft file
          wf b12:fn.ft<cr>   get word statistics on fn.ft on directory b12:

WF uses WORDFREQ utility from Oasis Systems to analyse file.
:u

                        Show and Recover Files Erased

UNERA potentially recovers files that have been erased.

  Syntax:
          unera<cr>              <-- show files capable of being recovered
          unera <filemask><cr>   <-- recover files, wild cards and
                                     file1,file2,etc. form permitted

UNERA uses ZCPR3 utility UNERASE to display and potentially recover erased
files.  Disk system is automatically reset after recovery, updating
directory area of disk system.

If too many deleted copies of file exist on disk recovery is not possible.
Using CLEANDIR often removes these de-allocated segements making recover
more probable.
:e

                    Access Z-System Discat Catalog System

CAT is used to search for files in Master Catalog.  Catalog stores location
of files by disk name and number.

  Syntax:
          cat<cr>             <-- Enter Discat Menu in CAT directory, usually
                                  disk/user area A8:
          cat <filemask><cr>  <-- Search for files indicated by files
                                  on command line; * and ? permitted.
                                  Mask may take form of file1,file2,etc.

Files associated with Discat System are placed in CAT directory.
:a

                           Get Spelling Alias

GS uses FIND utility of Oasis Systems to scan main dictionary, MAINDICT.CMP,
for word declared on comand line.  FIND is part of The Word Plus 45,000-
word spelling check and correction system.

  Syntax:
            gs <word><cr>

  Examples:
            gs //<cr>        get short help message
            gs cal*<cr>      find words beginning with "cal"
            gs ??ing<cr>     find five-letter words ending in "ing"
            gs cal???<cr>    find six-letter words starting with "cal"
            gs s?t?r<cr>     display five-letters words starting with s,
                             having t for middle letter, and ending with r
            gs california    see if spelling of word is correct            

Words may be up to 19 characters in length.  As indicated <word> may contain
wild cards "?" and "*" to assist in locating specific words desired.



GS works from any directory.  FIND is in A15:ROOT directory.  Dictionary
is in public directory A6:PRIVATE.

Other The WORD Plus utilities are LOOKUP to assist in determining word
spelling, and DICTSORT which sorts column of single words, end word ending
with carriage return.

                                 DIR Alias

DIR uses ZCPR3 transient DIRnn to display disk file directory using one or
more trailing options.  These options are A=All Files, S=System Files Only,
H=Horizontal Sort, P=Print, V=Vertical Sort, and T=Sort by File
Type/Name Toggle.

  Syntax:
          dir<cr>           <-- shows all files on current directory
          dir //<cr>        <-- shows built-in help
          dir du:*.*<cr>    <-- shows all files on declared directory
          dir du:*.com<cr>  <-- shows all COM files on declared directory
          dir *.* ht<cr>    <-- shows all files in current directory sorted
                                horizontally by file type
          dir *.* hp<cr>    <-- sends all files to printer, horizontally
                                sorted by file name

DIR alias uses built-in help of DIRnn.COM transient.  DIR alias is in A15:ROOT
directory but works from any directory.
:c


                                SEE Alias

SEE displays files in a two column sort contained in COMMAND.LBR.  Shows
each file size by record (128-bytes per) and kilobytes rounded to next higher
allocation block, CRC and library index value.  SEE has a send-to-printer and
a built-in help option.

SEE uses ZCPR3 library utility LLF.COM, List Library Files.

  Syntax:
          see //<cr>    get internal help message
          see<cr>       show files in COMMAND.LBR on ROOT directory
          see p<cr>     show on console and send to printer

SEE works from any directory.  Both SEE and COMMAND.LBR are in ROOT directory,
conventionally A15 drive/user area.

HLP and HQP files available.  After responding to prompt, user entered 
help file of his choice.

  Syntax:
          gh //<cr>     get internal help message
          gh<cr>        get full system help on selected topic
