ABOUT ZCPR3 AND Z3-DOT-COM
Flexibility is key to ZCPR3 power. Productivity results from
optimum organization of human and machine resources. You are
free to create the thinking and working environment that you
choose! ZCPR3 permits quick computer system re-organization for
varying tasks and controls your application programs from
integrated easily produced and changed menus. Generation of
aliases permit many commands and keystrokes to be converted to a
few. Aliases may be used from within menus. One alias may use
another. Control is near absolute using the supplied utilities.
Menu generation determines how the computer is used, simplifying
and speeding operations. Only single from-menu keystrokes are
needed to activate many complex series of commands.
ZCPR3 changes as you change--a system you use, learn from, grow
and live with!
Utilities provided permit file and disk management, easy
coordination of many application programs from chained menus with
full security and password protection. Online help assists
understanding details of each command available. A summary
command reference card is also provided with a glossary of
computer and ZCPR3 word meanings. The installation procedure is
eleven (11) lines at the bottom of the command reference card.
ZCPR3 is available in two versions: the manual install system
using CP/M MOVCPM, SYSGEN and DDT, and the auto-install Z3-Dot-
Com version. Both versions have advantages, depending on your
understanding and desires, whether you are a computer user or
programmer.
Z3-Dot-Com is sold in either a single or 4-disk set. The single-
disk package is for those who have obtained the manual-install
ZCPR3 Core and Utilities software and want now to add auto-
install to their collection. The 4-disk set is complete and
provides seventy (70) utility files in object form. The source
for the utilities is not supplied, as it occupies over eight (8)
additional disks. The manual-install utilities may be used with
Z3-Dot-Com by using the Z3INS.COM, ZCPR3.INS and Z3.ENV files
supplied or auto-produced during install process.
The #1 disk used for installation has sufficient reserve space to
permit creation of four (4) special files during installation.
The #2 disk has remaining utilities not on disk #1. Disks #3 &
#4 have the online help files used from tree-structure HELP.COM
central menus.
Z3-Dot-Com installs on all CP/M-80 computers, those using 8080,
8085, NSC-800 and Z80 microprocessors. The install menu
presently has over 50 terminals and computers to fully handle CRT
screen capabilities. We add to the menus as we gain knowledge of
additional control and escape sequences.
Future utilities planned for the ZCPR3 System can be installed
and used with Z3-Dot-Com by adding the utility name to the
ZCPR3.INS file with any CP/M editor and then running Z3INS with
Z3.ENV and ZCPR3.INS. Installation then occurs automatically.
Files named in the ZCPR3.INS list not on the present disk being
installed are ignored.
Assembly of the ZCPR3 batch and flow control processor ZEX.ASM is
required after installation of Z3-Dot-Com has occurred. Submit
(batch) processor EX.COM and ZEX.ZEX batch file is provided to
make the assembly automatic. The CP/M utility programs required
to assemble ZEX: 1) MAC, 2) ED, and 3) SID or ZSID. Other files
required, RELS.UTL and EX, are public domain and supplied by
Echelon.
