NOTES ON BUP v 2.1
Hi,
At last I feel comfortable with BUP. For some reason
and, as it turns out, with good reason, I wasn't totally happy with BUP as
first released (as v 2.0).
To all those who grabbed v 2.0, sorry bout that, v 2.1 is better
and I'm happy with it.
To use just follow the prompts as they appear.
BUP can be customized for the clear screen, exclusion filetype
extents & the maximum user level. To customize BUP you will find the
appropriate prompts in the first page of the .COM file. Use whatever
you like, from DDT to PATCH to make the necessary changes.
Note that the changes are to the data immediately following
the ASCII prompt. e.g. to change the clear screen, look for the prompt
'CLS>', immediately after the prompt begins the clear screen data,
enough room has been left for a worst case terminal, the cls string MUST
finish in a 0.
Further note that the '# TYPES>' must allways equal the number
of types you have in the exclusion table otherwise if the # is smaller
types will be included in the backup, if larger, who knows.
WARNING *** The successful operation of BUP depends on the
correct handling of the archive byte/bit by CP/M. In it's standard
form it doesn't. To assist in fixing this problem I have included
the details of the necessary patch for the BDOS. I recommend that
if you are not sure what you are doing that you get your local guru
to install the patch, you are working on your operating system here.
You Have Been Warned.
