- Notes on NSWP 204
- -----------------
-
- NSWP 204 has a few new features! First, limited CPM 3 has been established,
- in that if you have BDOS version over 3.0 (which may include MPM), you may
- now run with ALV banked. NSWP will use the BDOS call to obtain the ALV
- information. This also applies to the 16 bit version.
-
- Before 204, if you attempted to delete a file that was currently tagged,
- it was not removed from the tagged file size. It is correctly handled in all
- cases now.
-
- NSWP now saves the SP, rather than (SP), in order to support totally non-
- standard implementations of BDOS and CCP.
-
- When using the '?' function, the current disk information, along with the
- tagged file size.
-
- The copy file speed has been further optimized by elimination of a redundant
- BDOS call (deleting a file, when we know it ain't there!).
-
- NSWP has been modified to better support MPM and MPM86 by doing a rename
- after a copy operation. This will drop the copy speed slightly, nullifying
- the effect of the above change.
-
- If you find anything else, please drop me a line...

- Notes on NSWP 205
- -----------------
-
- NSWP 204 introduced a bug that would not allow you to copy a file if
- that file was set to R/O, unless you had a destination that was ALSO
- R/O!
-
-
- Notes on NSWP 206
- -----------------
-
- NSWP 206 has further CPM 3 features, such as using the display-and-return
- error mode. As well, NSWP now fully implements the $$$ copy file techinque,
- for both regular and SQ/USQ file copy operations. This will permit the use
- of 'PUBLIC' BDOS patches, and full use under MPM, as well as concurrent CPM
- 86. You may now log directly to a drive/user from the CCP, by using
- the syntax NSWP A4:*.*, or more simply NSWP A4 . NSWP now uses the same
- routine for CCP logon, as it does for the LOG command within NSWP. If you
- have selected a group of files (*.QQZ, for example), this information is
- displayed at logon.

- NSWP 207
- --------
-
- NSWP 207 has the last of the CPM 3 features, and concurrent as well, this
- being the multisector IO feature. This speeds file transfers under these
- operating systems by at LEAST 1.5 times, and it even handles physical IO
- errors whilst doing this. Also, the copy command has been alterted so that
- if you copy to a DIFFERENT drive, the disk system is reset. This will permit
- fast copies to the same diskette, and the ability to freely change the
- destination disk!
