   IMP2Z is  an IMP-to-ZCPR shell escape program for IMP based upon MEX+2Z for
the 16-bit version of MEX+.  
:1


Usage:  

   1) Set the real IMP.COM file so that it will not be invoked by a command of
the  form "IMP".   This can  be done  by renaming  it (e.g., to REALIMP) or by 
putting it in a directory that is not along the search path.

   2) Create  a standalone or ARUNZ  alias called IMP with  a script  such  as
either of the following:

	REALIMP;IMP2Z		(for renamed IMP)
	DIR:IMP;IMP2Z		(if IMP in DIR:)

If  you exit  from IMP with the CPM command,  IMP2Z runs and looks for the IMP 
command line left in memory.  It scans for the CPM command,  takes anything in 
the  command after that,  and puts it into  the ZCPR3 command line  with "IMP" 
after it  so that the IMP alias will be run again after the other commands are 
finished.   Thus,  if you leave IMP with the command  "CPM CRUNCH FN.FT",  the 
file will be crunched and then you will return to IMP.



Usage (cont'd):

   If you are using an ARUNZ alias (or you want to use a name other than IMP),
you can patch  a string  at the beginning  of IMP2Z.   Just make sure that you 
leave at  least on byte  of 00  after the command line.  Replacing  the string 
"IMP" with  "ARUNZ IMP" or "CMDRUN IMP"  will speed  up command processing, as 
will the string with a leading space, " IMP", if you are using ZCPR v3.3.

IMP2Z Notes:

   a. The source file  will assemble for  IMP v2.44 if the V245 equate  is set
      NO, or for v2.45 if set YES.
