- TYPE1.COM
- ---------
-
- TYPE1 is a machine language alternative to the C program to
- type files. It will automatically unsqueeze files, exclude
- certain files, and more! Since it is only 2k long, no disk should
- be without it!
-
- Since it accepts the same syntax, you may use it as follows:
-
- TYPE *.bas b:q*.?q? C:start.qqz
-
- Several parameters may be set in the system. These are
- paging size, maximum number of lines/file, exclude system files,
- exclude list of extensions, and mask control characters.
-
- The paging size option allows you to control the number of
- lines per page. If you do not wish paging to occur, simply set
- this byte to zero.
-
- Maximum number of lines per file controls how many lines of
- a file can be listed before an error message occurs. If you do
- not want to limit the number of lines listed, set this byte to
- zero.
-
- Exclude system files, when set to X'FF', totally ignores
- system files, and "tagged" files. No error message is printed,
- the file is simply forgotten! If you would like to be able to
- list system files, just set this byte to X'00'.
-
- Exclude extensions, when set to X'FF', will exclude files
- like .COM, .OBJ, .INT, .ABS and so on. If you would like to list
- these files (?), just set this byte to X'00'.
-
- Mask control characters, when set to X'FF', will only allow
- X'0D', X'0A', X'07', X'09' and X'08'. If you want all control
- charaters listed, set this byte to X'00'.
-
- By now, most of you are wondering where these bytes are! If
- you DDT the TYPE1.COM file, and 'D'ump it, you will see text
- messages in the first 200 or so bytes directing you exactly to
- the location of the right byte!
