The MISCelaneous CP/M Diskette Originated by R.S. Hafner Livermore, CA September, 1985 The following is a breakdown of what is contained on this diskette. Included are verbose listings of the various .ARC files and comments on the sub-files themselves. Executable images---files with a .CMD or .COM extension---will, for the most part, run on the Rainbow under CP/M-86, version 2.0. Users are cautioned, however, that some of the programs have NOT been tested by this author, due to the limited size of his CP/M system. (Files not tested have been noted below.) The .ARC files were produced using the MS-DOS ARC utility, version 4.10 (available on the MS-DOS, UTILS-1 diskette). Files can be un-ARC-ed using this same utility and moved to CP/M using the DOSFLX utility (available on the MS-DOS, SYS-STUFF diskette). Owing to their complexity, these files will probably not run under AME-86, but, as of 12 Aug 85, this has not been tested. Comments are those of the originator of this diskette and do not necessarily reflect the comments, or opinions, of DECUS. **** AUTO-C.ARC **** Version Unknown Name Length Stowage SF Size now Date Time CRC ============ ======== ======== ==== ======== ========= ====== ==== AUTO-C.CMD 7296 Crunched 25% 5535 26 Aug 85 11:28p 4A62 AUTO-C.DOC 1280 Squeezed 23% 987 27 Aug 85 0:12a 7C3A AUTO, written in C.... May be as good, or better, than AUTO.CMD (see BOOT.ARC, the SYS-STUF Diskette). As of this writing, however, AUTO-C has not been tested. **** BARGRAPH.ARC **** Version Unknown Name Length Stowage SF Size now Date Time CRC ============ ======== ======== ==== ======== ========= ====== ==== BARGRAPH.CMD 18688 Squeezed 8% 17294 26 Aug 85 11:34p 4102 Generate a BARGRAPH, on the screen, or on your printer---from a file, or from the keyboard.
