- A minor improvement for the ZCPR3 install program.
-
- How many times have you gotten a new ZCPR3 utility and had to
- create the simple, one line install file just to install it.
- I'll admit that it isn't too difficult to use PIP to give:
-
- PIP xxx.INS=CON:
- xxx.COM
- ^Z
-
- But PIP is not at all forgiving if you make a typing mistake.
- And you will usually erase the file after the installation is
- completed.
-
- Several of our club members have purchased the Ampro Little
- Board computers as their second (or third or more) system,
- and are busy building up system disks for a new machine. Since
- all the utilities wouldn't normally be needed on a small system
- like the Little Board, they tend to get moved over to the
- new machine one or two at a time, as a need is discovered for them.
-
- To help with this situation, several of us got together one evening
- and came up with this small modification to Z3INS.
-
- If the second argument to Z3INS has a file type of COM, that
- program (only) will be installed without the bother of creating
- an install file.
-
- Z3INS SYS.ENV DU3.COM
-
- The program works as before if the file type of the second argument
- is INS (or is omitted).
-
- Z3INS SYS.ENV PROGLIST.INS
