- Herewith source and .REL files for a tool package similar to
- (but considerably less exhaustive than) Richard Conn's Syslib.
- This one supports command-line redirection and implicit (via
- STDIN and STDOUT) or explicit I/O to any one of 16 channels.
- There are routines to make use of the AMD 9511 chip, and
- anyone who hasn't got one will need to (a) avoid the double-
- integer and floating-point routines, and (b) rewrite one
- routine, ITOC, to do its conversion in software. This will
- be easy if Digital Research's 'Lib' manager is available.
- Three files (other than this one) are provided on this disk:
- Tools.Arc is a text file containing M80 source for
- all of the tools described in ToolIntf.Doc,
- plus a set of archive-maintenance macros for
- use with Pmate 3.x.
- ToolIntf.Doc is a text file containing "black-box"
- descriptions of the routines and their
- functions - very terse!
- Tools.Rel is a Microsoft-format .Rel file containing
- all of the tools, assembled with LYNX set
- TRUE so that the address of the first free
- byte after the .COM file is expected at 108h.
- If you don't have Lynx you can (a) reassemble
- all modules that INCLUDE LINKEQU with LYNX set
- FALSE, or (b) kludge in a patch into each of
- your .COM files so you can enter the address
- manually with DDT, or (c) get Lynx - Westico
- sells it and it's a very nice linking loader
- that supports overlays and makes human-
- readable dumps of .REL files, in addition to
- many other useful features.
- Please DON'T phone me for help with this stuff unless your name
- is Jud Newell - anyone else please leave a message on Jud's
- System One and I will someday get back to you. I am swamped
- with work at present. Good Luck -- Greg Louis.
