- PRINTLST and KPPRTLST v1.2
-
- Program written and (C) 11/24/1984 by Steven L. Sanders
-
- A utility program to list the CP/M Master Catalog file.
-
- PRINTLST.COM is generic, usable by any CP/M computer
-
- KPPRTLST.COM is for video-able Kaypros only
-
- This program will output the contents of the MAST.LST file
- generated by XCATxx.COM into a 3-across format either to the
- CRT, printer, or diskfile. I found all the other listing
- programs to be big space-wasters when it came to the number of
- sheets needed to print-out a big catalog. PRINTLST ignores all
- other disk numbers except for the first one generated by XCAT,
- if you need a cross-ref listing then use XCAT's list output
- function.
-
- To use, run XCATxx on your MAST.CAT file first and choose the
- diskfile output option and generate the needed MAST.LST file.
- PRINTLST.COM will look for MAST.LST on the logged du:, if it is
- not there the program aborts with an error message. If it does
- find the MAST.LST file it will then prompt for CRT display ,
- output to printer, or diskfile options.
-
- Before outputting to the printer or diskfile the program will
- prompt for entry of the date to be included in the listing.
-
- If the diskfile option is chosen, you then enter the destination
- drive letter (A, B, C, or c/r for default drive). If the file
- MASTER.LST already exists on the specified destination drive -
- the program aborts with a message saying "File already exists!"
-
- PRINTLST will format the MAST.LST file into a 3-across listing
- like so:
-
- filename.typ - dsk | filename.typ - dsk | filename.typ - dsk

- K10VIDEO.IQF - 117 | K10Z2ND1.LBR - 118 | K10Z348K.LBR - 216
- K10ZCPR2.LBR - 166 | K10ZCPR3.LBR - 194 | K2-XMD88.LBR - 167
-
- and so on ...
-
- If listing to the CRT, it displays 15 lines (45 filenames) and
- then prompts you to "hit any key or <Q>uit" before displaying
- more.
-
- If outputting to the printer, it lists 57 lines (171 filenames)
- per page, numbers the pages, and continues to the end of the file.
-
- If outputting to diskfile, the title and header lines are printed
- once at the beginning and the listing is continuous to the end of
- the file.
-
- The main reason for this program was to conservatively list the
- contents of a large MAST.CAT file (mine has 4000+ files) for easy
- and quick referrence. My catalog used to take 60+ pages if using
- XCAT's printer option, now it only takes 21 pages.
