- Running the meta compiler on Kaypro 2 by Barry A. Cole 9 Dec 1983
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- To fit the F83 system on Kaypro 2 disks, I had to do some re-arranging.
- It requires 4 disks. These are numbered as follows:
-
- #1 F83.COM
- F83.DOC
- this documentation
- temporary files(KERNEL.COM and NEW4.COM)
-
- #2 UTILITY.BLK shortened to fit on disk, no shadow screens
- CPU8080.BLK
- DIRECT.BLK
- EXTEND80.BLK
-
- #3 META80.BLK shortened to fit on disk, 240k->176k
-
- #4 META81.BLK rest of META80 (some of shadow screens)
- FULLUTL.BLK original UTILITY.BLK(complete, for documentation)
-
- ******************************************************************
- Procedure to do full mete-compile:
-
- Sysgen system onto disks 1 and 3.
- Insert disks: Drive A=1, Drive B=3
- Reset machine to boot CP/M
- A>f83 b:meta80.blk
-
- Put caps lock down. I will show user input indented and in lower case.
- Push return.
- OK 1 load
- This displays screen numbers and messages as the meta-compilation proceeds.
- It ends with instructions to return to CP/M.
- Push return to see "OK".
- Change disk in Drive B=2.
- bye
- A>b:
- B>a:kernel extend80.blk
- Push return.
- ok
- Change disk in Drive A=3.
- start
- Generates many messages. States size and requests BYE and SAVE. Note size.
- 24228 256 / 1+ .
- Write down this number(###). It is the number of pages to SAVE.
- Change disk in Drive A=1.
- bye
- B>a:
- A>save ### new4.com
- This is your new system.
-
- This procedure is for a full system. All steps past the KERNEL generation
- can be dropped for machine control applications.
