Instead of RENAME JONES.LTR HARVEY.LTR;VDE JONES.LTR we could type, using "$" as the "escape character" that indicates relative position from left, "RENAME JONES.LTR HARVEY.LTR;VDE $3".

ZSDOS.ANN
ZSDOS.AZN I have added to Carson Wilson's announcement of the shipping of ZSDOS by doing something I've wanted to do for ages. I've compiled a list of all known (to me) CP/M and ZCPR3 programs that support ZSDOS/DateStamper datestamping, alphabetized them (thanks, WordPerfect), and wrote a little blurb about each. If I had just purchased ZSDOS and/or were just starting out with datestamping I think I'd find this list mighty handy and useful. - Rick Charnes
