ORDER.SUS Vol 3 #03 Z-System Software-Update-Service 04/06/92 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Available Items CATALOG DISK: 1. Z-SUS Catalog Disk .............................................(??k) $2.00 In-depth catalog of Z-SUS offerings. Updated monthly. Softcopy only. Consists of separate .CAT files describing each Z-SUS offering. Includes latest version of Bill Tishey's catalog of Z-System files, ZFILEBxx.LST as well as a full descriptive listing, ZFILEVxx.LBR, which may be used for ordering custom-made disks. (Foreign Surcharge $2.00) SUSCRIPTION DISKS: 1. Z-SUS Disk, Vol 3 #01 (11/18/91)..............................(278k) $12.00 Contains the following update libraries: EXTEND vs 1.4 - EXTEND is a text file extender for all Z80 machines. It (10k) appends an input line to a new or existing ASCII file and allows the ZCPR3 "du:" and "dir:" forms. It's great for Z-System scripts, as it can "keep notes" on what happened during unattended batch runs. Vs 1.4 still works with CP/M Plus, but uses SYSLIB file I/O and can extend empty files as well as files with no EOF byte in their last record. Now includes a safe Type 4 for Z34- compatible systems. LBREXT vs 3.4 - LBREXT extracts crunched, squeezed and LZH-encoded files (37k) from LBRs. Vs 3.4 has a new Inspect mode. This allows you to specify a wildcard member file name and then "tag" the specific files you want to extract. LBRHLP vs 2.0 - LBRHLP consists of two programs for displaying help (45k) files from within LBR's. LHC.COM is for crunched files and LHQ.COM is for squeezed files. Both programs can also handle uncompressed files in libraries. Vs 2.0 has an improved clear screen routine that prints a CR/LF if no TCAP is present. LD vs 1.1 - LD is a ZCPR3 library directory utility that shows (43k) member files with their create and modify dates and times, sizes, compression method, uncompressed file- names, CRC's, and indexes. Embedded comments up to 76 characters can be displayed. Printer and message register output and wheel protection are included. Also for vanilla CP/M 2.2 and CP/M Plus. Version 1.1 is a major revision with many enhancements over LDIR-B. LGET vs 1.3 - This is the latest update patch to Rick Conn's original (4k) Z3 LBR member extractor. v1.1 corrected a TPA calcula- tion bug in SYSLIB36; v1.2 replaced SYSLIB36's touchy ARGV with a more robust routine lifted from Joe Wright's LX11 release; this one obeys the quiet flag. LGET13 is half the size of LBREXT32 and a great deal faster, but lacks time/date and CRUNCH/LZH support. Use it to quickly load a RamDisk from an LBR on a floppy or hard disk. LPUT vs 2.2 - LPUT builds LU/NULU-identical LBR files and adds/replaces (35k) members. It is fully compatible with Plu*Perfect Date- Stamper, converting dates supplied by DS or imbedded by CR23D.COM to the specified DRI-style format (LUDEF5.DOC). Version 2.2 stores the library's create and modify dates in the LBR directory and accepts a slash before the "+nn" option. LX vs 2.2 - LX22 is a Z-System tool that executes type 1, 3, or 4 COM (48k) files directly from a named or default library. Vs 2.2 fixes the pesky absence of the appropriate newlines (CRLFs) when LX is the designated extended command proc- essor (rather than a secondary or "forced" ECP chained from ARUNZ or equivalent). ZDT vs 1.0 - ZDT is the Z-System Day Timer, a daily planning calendar (43k) derived from ZDB. If your system has a real-time clock, ZDT automatically reads it and displays the current day's schedule, checking the data file for any previously entered appointments, memos, etc. ZDT will also work with manual date entry. Requires ZCPR 3.0 or higher, VLIB4+ and extended TCAP. Small, feature-packed just like ZDB. ZDT vs 1.0B - See above. V. 1.0B fixes minor bug. (13k) 2. Z-SUS Disk, Vol 3 #02 (02/01/92)..............................(280k) $12.00 Contains the following update libraries: CONCAT vs 1.6 - CONCAT concatenates two or more source files into a new (53k) file, or appends them to an existing file. It allows elaborate operations with files pulled from various drives and user areas with numerous options. CONCAT checks disk space before doing anything and allows redirected I/O to and from CON:, LST:, and AUX:. Version 1.6 fixes a CON: input bug. For ZCPR3 only. EDZCM vs 1.0 - EDZCM is a screen-oriented editor for NZCOM ZCM system (36k) descriptor files that displays and can edit NZCOM system elements and sizes from a ZCM file or from the Z3ENV. The display is sorted by system element address, highest address first and includes system TPA. Elements may be positioned above the CBIOS. The element addresses may be recalculated beginning with the CBIOS and working down, and the new system can be written to a ZCM file. ENVCFG vs 1.2 - ENVCFG is used with ZCNFG and ENVCFG.CFG to configure the (21k) current contents of the Z3CPR environment, such as the valid drive vector, max drive, etc. It works by loading a copy of the environment into a buffer in ENVCFG.COM. ZCNFG.COM and ENVCFG.CFG are then used to configure ENVCFG.COM's Z3ENV buffer contents. ENVCFG can then write the modified Z3ENV back to the environment or a file, and the new system can then be NZBLITZ'd if desired. FILT vs 8.1 - FILT vs 8.1 is a ZCPR3 rework of Irv Hoff's FILT7 that (24k) sets or expands tabs and removes several types of unwanted characters in ASCII text, WordStar documents, or assembler source code files. Now has command line opera- tion, DU and DIR support, error flag setting, error hand- ler invocation, quiet mode, and ZCNFG configuration. Under ZSDOS and ZDDOS file create date stamps are preserved. JUST vs 1.3 - JUST is a ZCPR3 version of Irv Hoff's utility to justify (41k) ASCII and WordStar text files, with many new features. It is fast, easy to use, and produces even margins by a unique fill method that produces handsome documents. It allows full command line operation, DU support, error flag setting, quiet mode, ZCNFG configuration, and trans- fers the create date under ZSDOS. Vs 1.3 fixes a bug and adds a display option. PRNTXT vs 1.6 - PRNTXT is a message display utility to help create (26k) 'instant' COM files which display paged text, added to PRNTXT.COM by the user or passed in the command line tail (tokens '$', '$1', '$-1'), on the console. Text may be directed to the printer and control characters may be synthesized. Display command line tail text in mixed upper or lower case. Now ZCNFG configurable, including printer status check. XFOR vs 1.5 - XFOR is a ZCPR3 Extended FOR utility which searches (44k) "----" delimited catalogs. It features: a command line file spec or an internally configured default directory and filename; highlighting if available; setting of the error flag if no string match is found; display of ZFILES.LST or an alternate header; printer output; ZCNFG configuration. Version 1.5 prints "searching" only when a search string is given, not between each entry during sequential FOR file displays. ZFIND vs 1.4 - ZFIND is a ZCPR3 string search utility which very quickly (35k) finds ASCII strings in text files using the Boyer-Moore string search algorithm. It is similar to Irv Hoff's FIND.COM, but MUCH faster. The matched string can be displayed in either the line or the delimited block in which it was found, and the output can be written or appended to a file. It allows fast lookups in magazine article indexes or MAST.CAT files. Vs 1.4 adds a new file overwrite option and fixes some minor bugs. 3. Z-SUS Disk, Vol 3 #03 (04/06/92)..............................(279k) $12.00 Contains the following update libraries: CCOUNT vs 1.0 - CCOUNT counts characters in text files. It reports both (25k) the total number of characters and counts for characters specified on the command line. Optionally, CCOUNT can report individual counts for all characters, including control characters, and can ignore high bits or not. Counting is done via 32-bit integers. Both ZCPR3 and vanilla CP/M are supported. CPD vs 1.5 - CPD is a ZCPR3 utility to compare two directories and (32k) indicate which files are in both directories and which are only in one. Matched or unmatched filenames can be output to a disk file. CPD supports both upper- or lower-case display, sets the error flag if directories don't match, and can set the archive attribute on files which exist in both directories. Vs 1.5 fixes a rather serious bug. FL vs 1.0 - FL creates file lists on disk for use by other programs. (24k) Multiple ambiguous file specifications, including a negative specification, may be given. Matching filenames are written to a disk file. Optionally, the DU in which the file is located can be included with the filename in the disk file. The error flag is set if no matching files are found. LD vs 1.4 - LD is a ZCPR3 library directory utility that shows member (47k) files with their create and modify dates and times, sizes, compression method, uncompressed filenames, CRC's, and indexes. Embedded comments up to 76 characters can be displayed. Supports printer, disk file, and message register output, wheel protection, and runs under vanilla CP/M. Version 1.4 corrects a minor cosmetic bug and adds a help file. ZBIB vs 1.0 - ZBIB 1.0 is a full-featured release of the Z-System (18k) Bibliography Database Manager. It is derived from ZDB, having similar functions and user interface. Vs 1.0 incorporates numerous improvements in the code with a reduction in size as a result. ZDB vs 1.8b - ZDB (ZCPR3 DataBase) is a small (8K), very fast and easy (55k) to use name and address database manager that can print envelopes and labels. It also makes a WordStar file of the entire database or writes an ASCII CDF name and address file for use with MailMerge. Allows indexing by name or by zipcode, fast name searches, built-in tele- phone dialer, automatic dating if a ZSDOS clock is present. Requires a VLIB4D+ graphics Z3TCAP. ZDT vs 1.3 - ZDT is the Z-System Day Timer, a daily planning calendar (41k) derived from ZDB. If your system has a clock, ZDT auto- matically reads it and displays the current day's schedule, checking the data file for any previously entered appointments, memos, etc. ZDT will also work with manual date entry. Requires ZCPR 3.0 or higher, VLIB4+ and extended TCAP. Small, feature-packed just like ZDB. ...and additional files ZFILEB45.LZT and Z3HELP45.LBR. SPECIAL PACKAGES: 1.
