1- Syntax/Options 2- Notes 3- Error Messages
XDSK is derived from LDSK (Log in DiSK) vs 1.1 by Wilson H. Bent Jr. It
logs in disk directories by copying the Named Directory Buffer, clearing
entries for the current disk, then searching for files of the form '-???????',
which are assumed to be names of directories. Using these, a new NDBuff is
built, which replaces the old one. Names are sorted upon re-write to NDBuff.
XDSK also prints out the User Number and Name. The number of names is
limited only by space in the system NDR buffer (in LDSK there was a limit of
14). Password entry is optional and cleared to spaces. Lower-case names are
also allowed.

Syntax: XDSK <cr> <-- logs in the current disk drive
XDSK provides no ZCPR3 help message.

XDSK Notes:
a. NDBuff entries are:
Disk: 1 byte (A = 1, B = 2, M = 0Dh)
User: 1 byte
Name: 8 bytes (space-filled)
Pass: 8 bytes (ditto)
b. Version 1.3 adds the ability to read ' ???????' files in addition to
dash-files (now DISCAT compatible). Also eliminates external .LIB file.
Z80ASM, as well as M80, can now assemble XDSK without any modifications.
c. Version 1.2 converts XDSK to a True ZCPR3 utility, adds the ability to
read an .NDR file from the target disk and use it to update the system
named directory buffer. If an .NDR file is not present, dash-files are
used.

Error Messages:
a. 'Unable to find Dash, Space
or .NDR files on this disk.'
b. 'No *.NDR files found!'
c. 'This is a ZCPR3 program ONLY!'
