- <SHAREWARE> as part of the description of a file indicates that the program
- is distributed on a "try first, pay if you like it" basis. If you find the
- program(s) meet your need, please refer to the author's documentation for
- information on becoming a registered user. Only by registering and paying
- for the programs you like and use will the authors of such programs continue
- development. Often, more complete documentation, additional modules, and new
- releases are available only to registered users.
-
-
- This STARTER.CPM disk contains some of the utilities which we
- think are essential for FOG members with CP/M computers. File
- manipulation, disk recovery, file extraction, and much more
- can be handled by these programs.
-
- Please note that, unlike all other disks in the FOG Disk
- Library, some of the programs on this disk are incomplete.
- This is done to permit the maximum number of useful programs
- to be included on the disk. In all cases, the complete
- programs are elsewhere in the library -- use FOGSCAN to
- locate them. Often the complete programs have additional
- features or more detailed documentation.
-
- These programs have all been tested on as many hardware and
- software configurations as possible but we cannot guarantee
- they will work on all systems. As with any new software, the
- first use of any program should be on a system which has
- recently been completely backed up (or on a floppy system).
-
- Be sure to read the documentation before using a program.
- Documentation is normally contained in the file with the DOC
- extension. Many programs have built-in help messages; some
- put the documentation in files with extensions such as HLP,
- INF, TXT, or MSG.
-
- Files with ARK, LBR, or PAK extension are compressed to save
- disk space. They may also be a collection of related files.
- Files with a `Q' as the middle letter of the extension have
- been squeezed; files with `Z' as the middle letter of the
- extension have been crunched. In all cases, the appropriate
- utility for extracting the files must be used before you
- can access them. Note: the ARC extension is traditionally
- used to indicate that the contents are for MS/PC-DOS users.

- Filename Description
- -10-01 .88 This is the release date of the disk.
- -CPM000 .DOC This is the description of the disk contents.
- UNARC .COM FF9D 5K [File Extraction 1 of 4]
- Extract the members of an archive (.ARK or .ARC) file.
- Remember, .ARK normally signifies that the members are for
- CP/M systems and .ARC normally signifies that the members are
- MS/PC-DOS systems.
- UNARCA .COM FE6F 6K [File Extraction 2 of 4]
- Extracts members of archive files on 8080 systems.
- UNCR .COM 5D9D 7K [File Extraction 3 of 4]
- Extract files which have been compressed with either a crunch
- or a squeeze program. Remember, not all files with a `Z' as
- as the middle character of the extension are crunched -- this
- `Z' can also signify AZM source code.
- UNARC-CR.DOC 0280 2K [File Extraction 4 of 4]
- Abbreviated documentation for the UNARC, UNARCA, and UNCR
- programs written specifically for inclusion on this disk.
- Complete documentation, and most of the source code, is in
- the regular FOG-CPM library.
- DE-LBR .COM C049 7K [De-Library 1 of 2]
- A utility to quickly extract all members of a .LBR file.
- DE-LBR .DOC 90FF 1K [De-Library 2 of 2]
- NSWP207 .COM F0D3 12K ver. 2.07 [NewSWeeP 1 of 2]
- Dave Rand's fabulous file management utility. An absolute
- must for anyone who needs to copy, view, print, rename, move,
- squeeze, unsqueeze, or erase files, either individually or
- in groups. NewSWeeP can also change the file attributes. On a
- CP/M 2.2 machine, NewSWeeP will recover files from a disk
- with the dreaded "BDOS Error" -- just press return every time
- you get the "BDOS Error" message. What NewSWeeP can't recover
- is probably gone forever and not worth spending the time on.
- NSWEEP .DOC F1F3 28K ver. 2.07 [NewSWeeP 2 of 2]
- RECVR21 .COM 3F53 4K ver. 2.1 [Recover 1 of 3]
- Unerase files which have been erroneously erased. RECVR21 is
- for CP/M 2.2 machines; RECVR21X is for CP/M 3.0 machines.
- RECVR21X.COM 5216 6K ver. 2.1 [Recover 2 of 3]
- RECVR21 .DOC 2254 1K ver. 2.1 [Recover 3 of 3]
- SD130 .COM ACA4 6K ver. 13.0 [SuperDirectory 1 of 2]
- Use this instead of the directory program which came with
- your computer. Be sure to read the documentation so you know
- about the many options which are available.
- SD .DOC 509A 8K ver. 13.0 [SuperDirectory 2 of 2]
- FBAD57 .COM 9F52 2K ver. 5.7 [Findbad 1 of 2]
- Finds all the bad blocks on a disk and builds a directory
- entry to ensure those blocks cannot be accidentally used.
- Recommended for use on every disk immediately after it is
- formatted (initialized). An absolute must for any disk which
- will hold permanent archival copies of your files and data.
- FBAD57 .DOC A3C3 6K ver. 5.7 [Findbad 2 of 2]
- FBAD58X .COM 6085 5K ver. 5.8 [Findbad for CPM+ 1 of 2]
- Modified for CP/M 3.0 systems, this marks out bad sectors on
- your disks so they cannot be used.
- FBAD58X .DOC 2E43 2K ver. 5.8 [Findbad for CPM+ 2 of 2]
- EDFILE .COM B5F3 11K ver. 1/10/84 [EDFILE 1 of 2]
- Modify any disk file, either in ASCII or hexadecimal, with
- ease. So easy-to-use that even novices can patch their
- software. Excellent for getting rid of an extra end-of-file
- marker (^Z or 1A hex) in your data file as well.
- EDFILE .DOC 4738 20K ver. 1/10/84 [EDFILE 2 of 2]
- DU-V89 .ARK 35B6 13K ver. 8.9
- This disk utility allows you to modify any byte on a disk.
- With DU you may even rebuild a damaged disk directory. Note
- that this program is not recommended for novices -- they
- should first try to recover a damaged disk with NewSWeeP.
- Never work on your only copy of a disk and never practice on
- a disk you really need.
-
- Note that the program and documentation are stored in an
- archive file to save disk space. Use UNARC to extract them.
- DU-V89 .COM 8K [DU-V89.ARK 1 of 2]
- DU-V89 .DOC 11K [DU-V89.ARK 2 of 2]
- SAPP20 .COM AE92 2K ver. 2.0 [Sort And Pack 1 of 2]
- For both CP/M 2.2 and CPM+ systems, this allows you to update
- the directory of your disk so that all files are organized
- alphabetically and all unwanted (erased) files are
- PERMANENTLY and IRRETRIEVABLY eliminated.
- SAPP20 .DOC C3C2 7K ver. 2.0 [Sort And Pack 2 of 2]
- CHECK .COM E6B3 3K [Check 1 of 2]
- Use this to check the CRC values of files you obtain from
- the library. Compare the values you obtain with CHECK against
- those listed in each "disk doc".
- CHECK .DOC D68E 1K [Check 2 of 2]
