1.) For persons who desire to run RBBS as their .COM file (both
COMFILE and RBBS set to YES) and with EXFILE also set to YES,
you will find that BYE will not cycle properly for the next
caller. To correct this problem, near the end of the main
.ASM file you will find several conditional equates such as
IF EXFILE AND METAL
DB statements here of user area, filename, and 21 nuls
ENDIF
just add a conditional of the equivilent to
IF EXFILE AND RBBS
replacing the filename with that of your own exit file,
or if NO exit file AND you are running CP/M PLUS (CPM3 set
to YES) then use the filename of 'BYE COM'.
ENDIF ;EXFILE AND RBBS
2.) If you are using a BANKED CP/M PLUS system, you may still
utilize your own MDPREP/MDPOSP routines by reinstallation
of the calls to them in the main program. The CALL MDPREP
would be installed in the PATCH: area just before the
CALL TBLADDR, and the CALL MDPOSP would be installed in
the EXCPM: area just before the CALL RSXCLR.
MOST of the CP/M Plus systems no longer need the pre- or
post-processing routines. The Morrow HARD DISK SYSTEMS
are an exception to this, so, Morrow users, keep this in
mind for future versions, just in case the MDPREP/MDPOSP
calls remain out. (We should be able to remember this!)
It's looking great guys!
