NSWP 208 - 05/04/85
-------------------
NSWP 208 is identical to NSWP 207 EXCEPT for the option at the beginning
of this program that will allow the user to have the option of either
selecting an alphabetized or NON-APHABETIZED directory. This becomes
important to those systems that need a boot strap loader in track 0.
NSWP 207 - 07/07/84
-------------------
NSWP 207 has the last of the CPM 3.0 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 phys-
ical I/O errors while doing this. The copy command has been alterted so
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!
Notes on NSWP 206
-----------------
NSWP 206 has further CPM 3.0 features, such as using display-and-return
error mode. 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.
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 204 - 04/04/84
----------------------------
NSWP 204 has a few new features! First, limited CPM 3 has been estab-
ished, 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 re-
dundant 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, nulli-
fying the effect of the above change.
