The correct Command syntax for CPM-PEN is
"CPM-PEN Filename.Filetype" and the converted file
will be named "Filename.PCL. Command syntax for
PEN-CPM is "PEN-CPM Filename.PCL Filename.XXX" and the
converted file will be named "Filename.XXX". Filename
for the output file in this case does not have to be
the same as the PCL Filename. I sometimes use this
feature to avoid writing over my original file.
The following addition to the SEQIO.LIB file supplied
with Digital Research's "MAC" macro assembler will print
messages pointed to by the D-E register pair. The
message should end in a $. Correct syntax would be
"MESS XXXX" with XXXX as the label identifying the
beginning of the message. The message is entered into
the program thus:
XXXX DB CR,LF,'THIS IS A MESSAGE. $'
This addition is used in PEN-CPM.ASM and CPM-PEN.ASM.
