<SHAREWARE> as part of the description of a file indicates that the program
is distributed on a "try first, pay if you like it" basis. If you find the
program(s) meet your need, please refer to the author's documentation for
information on becoming a registered user. Only by registering and paying
for the programs you like and use will the authors of such programs continue
development. Often, more complete documentation, additional modules, and new
releases are available only to registered users.


This STARTER.CPM disk contains some of the utilities which we
think are essential for FOG members with CP/M computers. File
manipulation, disk recovery, file extraction, and much more
can be handled by these programs.

Please note that, unlike all other disks in the FOG Disk
Library, some of the programs on this disk are incomplete.
This is done to permit the maximum number of useful programs
to be included on the disk. In all cases, the complete
programs are elsewhere in the library -- use FOGSCAN to
locate them. Often the complete programs have additional
features or more detailed documentation.

These programs have all been tested on as many hardware and
software configurations as possible but we cannot guarantee
they will work on all systems. As with any new software, the
first use of any program should be on a system which has
recently been completely backed up (or on a floppy system).

Be sure to read the documentation before using a program.
Documentation is normally contained in the file with the DOC
extension. Many programs have built-in help messages; some
put the documentation in files with extensions such as HLP,
INF, TXT, or MSG.

Files with ARK, LBR, or PAK extension are compressed to save
disk space. They may also be a collection of related files.
Files with a `Q' as the middle letter of the extension have
been squeezed; files with `Z' as the middle letter of the
extension have been crunched. In all cases, the appropriate
utility for extracting the files must be used before you
can access them. Note: the ARC extension is traditionally
used to indicate that the contents are for MS/PC-DOS users.

Filename     Description
-10-01  .88  This is the release date of the disk.
-CPM000 .DOC This is the description of the disk contents.
UNARC   .COM FF9D   5K              [File Extraction 1 of 4]
            Extract the members of an archive (.ARK or .ARC) file.
            Remember, .ARK normally signifies that the members are for
            CP/M systems and .ARC normally signifies that the members are
            MS/PC-DOS systems.
UNARCA  .COM FE6F   6K              [File Extraction 2 of 4]
            Extracts members of archive files on 8080 systems.
UNCR    .COM 5D9D   7K              [File Extraction 3 of 4]
            Extract files which have been compressed with either a crunch
            or a squeeze program. Remember, not all files with a `Z' as
            as the middle character of the extension are crunched -- this
            `Z' can also signify AZM source code.
UNARC-CR.DOC 0280   2K              [File Extraction 4 of 4]
            Abbreviated documentation for the UNARC, UNARCA, and UNCR
            programs written specifically for inclusion on this disk.
            Complete documentation, and most of the source code, is in
            the regular FOG-CPM library.
DE-LBR  .COM C049   7K              [De-Library 1 of 2]
            A utility to quickly extract all members of a .LBR file.
DE-LBR  .DOC 90FF   1K              [De-Library 2 of 2]
NSWP207 .COM F0D3  12K ver. 2.07    [NewSWeeP 1 of 2]
            Dave Rand's fabulous file management utility. An absolute
            must for anyone who needs to copy, view, print, rename, move,
            squeeze, unsqueeze, or erase files, either individually or
            in groups. NewSWeeP can also change the file attributes. On a
            CP/M 2.2 machine, NewSWeeP will recover files from a disk
            with the dreaded "BDOS Error" -- just press return every time
            you get the "BDOS Error" message. What NewSWeeP can't recover
            is probably gone forever and not worth spending the time on.
NSWEEP  .DOC F1F3  28K ver. 2.07    [NewSWeeP 2 of 2]
RECVR21 .COM 3F53   4K ver. 2.1     [Recover 1 of 3]
            Unerase files which have been erroneously erased. RECVR21 is
            for CP/M 2.2 machines; RECVR21X is for CP/M 3.0 machines.
RECVR21X.COM 5216   6K ver. 2.1     [Recover 2 of 3]
RECVR21 .DOC 2254   1K ver. 2.1     [Recover 3 of 3]
SD130   .COM ACA4   6K ver. 13.0    [SuperDirectory 1 of 2]
            Use this instead of the directory program which came with
            your computer. Be sure to read the documentation so you know
            about the many options which are available.
SD      .DOC 509A   8K ver. 13.0    [SuperDirectory 2 of 2]
FBAD57  .COM 9F52   2K ver. 5.7     [Findbad 1 of 2]
            Finds all the bad blocks on a disk and builds a directory
            entry to ensure those blocks cannot be accidentally used.
            Recommended for use on every disk immediately after it is
            formatted (initialized). An absolute must for any disk which
            will hold permanent archival copies of your files and data.
FBAD57  .DOC A3C3   6K ver. 5.7     [Findbad 2 of 2]
FBAD58X .COM 6085   5K ver. 5.8     [Findbad for CPM+ 1 of 2]
            Modified for CP/M 3.0 systems, this marks out bad sectors on
            your disks so they cannot be used.
FBAD58X .DOC 2E43   2K ver. 5.8     [Findbad for CPM+ 2 of 2]
EDFILE  .COM B5F3  11K ver. 1/10/84 [EDFILE 1 of 2]
            Modify any disk file, either in ASCII or hexadecimal, with
            ease. So easy-to-use that even novices can patch their
            software. Excellent for getting rid of an extra end-of-file
            marker (^Z or 1A hex) in your data file as well.
EDFILE  .DOC 4738  20K ver. 1/10/84 [EDFILE 2 of 2]
DU-V89  .ARK 35B6  13K ver. 8.9
            This disk utility allows you to modify any byte on a disk.
            With DU you may even rebuild a damaged disk directory. Note
            that this program is not recommended for novices -- they
            should first try to recover a damaged disk with NewSWeeP.
            Never work on your only copy of a disk and never practice on
            a disk you really need.

            Note that the program and documentation are stored in an
            archive file to save disk space. Use UNARC to extract them.

SAPP20  .COM AE92   2K ver. 2.0     [Sort And Pack 1 of 2]
            For both CP/M 2.2 and CPM+ systems, this allows you to update
            the directory of your disk so that all files are organized
            alphabetically and all unwanted (erased) files are
            PERMANENTLY and IRRETRIEVABLY eliminated.
SAPP20  .DOC C3C2   7K ver. 2.0     [Sort And Pack 2 of 2]
CHECK   .COM E6B3   3K              [Check 1 of 2]
            Use this to check the CRC values of files you obtain from
            the library. Compare the values you obtain with CHECK against
            those listed in each "disk doc".
CHECK   .DOC D68E   1K              [Check 2 of 2]
