- ABOUT ZCPR3 AND Z3-DOT-COM
-
- Flexibility is key to ZCPR3 power. Productivity results from
- optimum organization of human and machine resources. You are
- free to create the thinking and working environment that you
- choose! ZCPR3 permits quick computer system re-organization for
- varying tasks and controls your application programs from
- integrated easily produced and changed menus. Generation of
- aliases permit many commands and keystrokes to be converted to a
- few. Aliases may be used from within menus. One alias may use
- another. Control is near absolute using the supplied utilities.
- Menu generation determines how the computer is used, simplifying
- and speeding operations. Only single from-menu keystrokes are
- needed to activate many complex series of commands.
-
- ZCPR3 changes as you change--a system you use, learn from, grow
- and live with!
-
- Utilities provided permit file and disk management, easy
- coordination of many application programs from chained menus with
- full security and password protection. Online help assists
- understanding details of each command available. A summary
- command reference card is also provided with a glossary of
- computer and ZCPR3 word meanings. The installation procedure is
- eleven (11) lines at the bottom of the command reference card.
-
- ZCPR3 is available in two versions: the manual install system
- using CP/M MOVCPM, SYSGEN and DDT, and the auto-install Z3-Dot-
- Com version. Both versions have advantages, depending on your
- understanding and desires, whether you are a computer user or
- programmer.
-
- Z3-Dot-Com is sold in either a single or 4-disk set. The single-
- disk package is for those who have obtained the manual-install
- ZCPR3 Core and Utilities software and want now to add auto-
- install to their collection. The 4-disk set is complete and
- provides seventy (70) utility files in object form. The source
- for the utilities is not supplied, as it occupies over eight (8)
- additional disks. The manual-install utilities may be used with
- Z3-Dot-Com by using the Z3INS.COM, ZCPR3.INS and Z3.ENV files
- supplied or auto-produced during install process.
-
- The #1 disk used for installation has sufficient reserve space to
- permit creation of four (4) special files during installation.
- The #2 disk has remaining utilities not on disk #1. Disks #3 &
- #4 have the online help files used from tree-structure HELP.COM
- central menus.
-
- Z3-Dot-Com installs on all CP/M-80 computers, those using 8080,
- 8085, NSC-800 and Z80 microprocessors. The install menu
- presently has over 50 terminals and computers to fully handle CRT
- screen capabilities. We add to the menus as we gain knowledge of
- additional control and escape sequences.
-
-
-
- Future utilities planned for the ZCPR3 System can be installed
- and used with Z3-Dot-Com by adding the utility name to the
- ZCPR3.INS file with any CP/M editor and then running Z3INS with
- Z3.ENV and ZCPR3.INS. Installation then occurs automatically.
- Files named in the ZCPR3.INS list not on the present disk being
- installed are ignored.
-
- Assembly of the ZCPR3 batch and flow control processor ZEX.ASM is
- required after installation of Z3-Dot-Com has occurred. Submit
- (batch) processor EX.COM and ZEX.ZEX batch file is provided to
- make the assembly automatic. The CP/M utility programs required
- to assemble ZEX: 1) MAC, 2) ED, and 3) SID or ZSID. Other files
- required, RELS.UTL and EX, are public domain and supplied by
- Echelon.
