- BYE79.ASM and BYE79.DOC
-
- Bye is the program originally written by Dave Jaffe, formerly of the
- Chciago Area Computer Hobbyist Exchange, that allows a "remote" user
- with a modem to access your CP/M microcomputer as if he were sitting
- at the console. It has been extensively revised, modified and improved
- upon over the years and now contains a great many options, such as
- limiting the number of drives available to the user, limiting the
- number of user areas accessible under CP/M version 2+, etc. Plus,
- a transient program (BYE being considered a semi-resident program)
- can modify these restrictions by "hot-patching" the appropriate
- memory locations. More details on BYE's options may be found in
- the DOC file and in the comments in the ASM file.

- SD-44.ASM, SD-44.COM and SD-44.DOC
-
- SD is the most-used Super Directory program for RCPM's. It has many options,
- allowing the user to look at any number of selected drives, all drives,
- a specific user area, all user areas, etc. It allows printing of the
- directory to the CP/M LIST device, writing the directory to a disk
- file (and concatenating additional directories), and more. Of course,
- the directory is sorted into alphabetical order and is printed with
- file sizes. See the DOC file and the comments in the ASM file for more
- information. Digital Research's MAC macro assembler is required for
- assembly.
-
- SQ-16.COM, SQUEEZ16.DOC, and USQ-19.COM
-
- RCPM's use SQ to "squeeze" a file so that it takes up less space on
- disk and so that the remote user will be able to transfer the file in
- a minimum amount of time. This can be critical with long distance callers
- or with heavily used systems. SQ and USQ are written in BDS-C, but the
- source files are not included on this disk, partially due to space
- considerations. I do intend to include the source on a later CP/M UG disk.
- When SQ/USQ were originally written, a file called FLS was included as a
- file list builder for processing wildcard filenames. The latest versions
- of SQ and USQ have wildcard handling capabilities built in, so FLS is
- no longer needed. See the DOC file for more information, including how
- SQ works to squeeze your files. Space savings on disk are often as much
- as 30 to 40 percent.
