Additional comments on some files
CRC.COM
CRC.DOC
CRCKLIST.CRC
This Cyclic Redundancy Checker will detect a difference between two files as
small as a single byte. Also detects two bytes out of order which is
something usually missed by a simple checksum type checker.
DIR-DUMP.COM
This program displays all the disk files and their locations on the disk,
along with the user number.
UNERA.COM
UNERA.DOC
This program unerases files. Kinda handy.
D.COM
D.DOC
This super directory program produces an alphabetical list in vertical
order. It understands nearly all disk and directory formats.
SWEEP38
This is probably the best file transfer/maintenance program around and it is
now in improved version 3.8 however it is 28k long.
V.COM
This file transfer/maintenance program is equal in quality to SWEEP but it
is only 8k long, works a bit like the icon display on the 128k Microbee. It
is a pity that the files are displayed in horizontal alphabetical order
rather than vertical.
DUMPX.COM
DUMPX.DOC
This is like the CP/M routine called DUMP.COM except it is incredibly more
powerful and more useful (e.g. displays the ASCII equivalents). It is very
fast, and I use it a lot to look for text (instructions) in .COM files I am
not familiar with.
SUPERSUB.COM
SUPERSUB.DOC
A definite improvement over CP/M's submit. The .SUB file must be on drive A
(like submit).
ALLOC.COM
Produces bit map of disk, also write-protects files. Menu driven.
COMPARE.COM
Checks one file against another. Usage is COMPARE FOO.FIL BOO.FIL.
DU-77.COM
DU-77.DOC
Very powerful disk utility. The user interface leaves much to be desired,
but you can do anything you might ever imagine on a disk.
FINDBD54.COM
FINDBD54.DOC
This super utility really checks a disk (without destroying the data on it)
and reports bad sectors and the blocks (in hex) where they lie. It then
creates a file containing the bad block(s) named [unused].BAD. I'd be lost
without it.
FIX.*
A fantastic disk utility that allows you to do nearly anything on a disk.
Read the documentation first and then try it out. It is much easier to use
than DU or DU77. This version is the latest available.
VERIFY.COM
Will tell you if any bad sectors are on your disk and what blocks they are
in.
LISTT.COM
LISTT.DOC
Prints out CP/M files with headers, page #'s, and offsets from left margin.
Slight bug: after page 1, headers kick back to left edge.
WCOUNT.COM
WCOUNT.DOC
Counts words in text files, sorts out obvious command lines (ones that
begin with periods or backslashed).
UNSPOOL.COM
UNSPOOL.DOC
This routine lets you use your system and print at the same time (without
one of those fancy print buffers). It dumps data to the printer anytime your
system is waiting for an input. This way it doesn't slow the system's normal
operation. Neat!!!
FILECON.COM
FILECON.DOC
Converts Wordbee files on disk into Wordstar format.
