Suggested Outline for Demonstrating Z-System
Short Demonstration
Setup and Pretest:
Have the system pre-configured for your terminal.
Have all needed files in your root directory.
Set up named directories.
Add the EASE error handler to startup alias (STARTNZC or STARTZ3P).
Test automatic alias execution from ARUNZ as CMDRUN.
[names in brackets are for Z3PLUS system]
1. Explain VERY QUICKLY what Z-System is
variously called ZCPR, NZCOM, Z3PLUS
upgrades vanilla CP/M 2.2
requires NO programming or patching
very flexible; you can customize it to your style
100's of free user-group programs
Z-Nodes for help and sharing
2. "Boot" the Z-System from vanilla CP/M
(have your start-up alias and configuration already tested)
demonstrate that it really is automatic!
3. Demonstrate the most interest-grabbing features first
a. error recovery and command history - EASE
make and correct a typo; recall an old command and
re-execute it
b. point-and-shoot demo - ZFILER
view a file; tag several and mass copy to an unused user #;
log into that user number; erase the copies
c. more point-and-shoot - VMENU
explain that you can customize it; demonstrate one selection
d. getting help - HELP [ZHELP] (use SALIAS as example)
select a topic; move back and forth;
explain you can write the text yourself
e. using aliases
demonstate your favorite flavors of WS - with a single WS.COM
file create a new alias using SALIAS; describe multiple com-
mands
f. execute commands from a library
using LX; using ARUNZ
4. Next, peek inside the Z-System. Illustrate its major components,
with explanations about how it really works.
H command
explain RCP, FCP, CPR concept
SHOW [SHOW]
display the major segments and commands
MAKENDR
make a new named directory; log it in
search path
log into another directory; give a command (e.g. SDZ)
run PATH
conditional execution
go through the example in the manual

5. Finally, show how you can easily customize your Z-System
TCSELECT
Explain memory/feature tradeoffs; can have several sized systems
If NZ-COM: run MKZCM; make small, large systems.
IF Z3PLUS; run "Z3PLUS LARGE;H" then "Z3PLUS SMALL;ZSHOW;
Z3PLUS"
6. Explain User Group ordering plan. Take orders and checks.
