The INFO H/Z-100 Public Domain Library

This collection contains program and information files for the Zenith Z-100
(Heath H-100) series computer system as provided by the INFO-HZ100 Public Domain
Library.

INFO-HZ100 is one of several major electronic mailing list interest groups that
are available worldwide over The Internet (TCP/IP based interconnected computer
networks: DRI, NSFnet, MILnet, etc.) and gatewayed into several mail networks
(BITnet, USEnet, UUCP, etc.).

INFO-HZ100 is a forum for discussion concerning topics related to the Zenith
Z-100 (Heath H-100) family of professional desktop computers. Messages are
forwarded for immediate redistribution to the main list. Distribution is
limited to one central mailbox per site.

Periodically, useful knowledge and items generated from the list and other
random sources are edited into a newsletter for distribution to both network and
non-network interested groups. Any comments, suggestions, help, knowledge,
software, ideas, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

A Public Domain library of H/Z-100 software, newsletters, and other related
items is available on The Internet by anonymous FTP from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.
The Public Domain Library is also available on disks by USnail for non-Internet
users. Public Domain software donations are gladly accepted!

These Public Domain programs are designed to run under MS-DOS V2 or higher on
the Zenith Z-100. Zenith does not support Z-DOS and most of these programs may
be damaging to run under Z-DOS. If you don't have MS-DOS V2 or higher, you
better get it. The BASIC programs are designed to run under the Z-100 version
of GW-BASIC V2, which is greatly enhanced and uses different graphics aspect
ratios than the obsolete ZBASIC.

The Z-100 GW-BASIC programs are saved in ASCII format for ease of conversion to
ZBASIC and other systems. It is recommended to SAVE each program without the
',A' option to save the BASIC program in the proper tokenized format. This will
also decrease future loading time.

All of the INFO-HZ100 Public Domain Library files except this 0HZPDLIB.DOC file
are in ZIP archive format. The files were ZIPed using PKWARE's PKZIP V1.1 and
may be extracted ('unZIPed') with PKWARE's PKUNZIP.

These programs have been carefully screened as "Public Domain" and may be freely
copied but not sold. No warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to these
programs as to the quality, performance, or fitness for use is made. Enjoy
them!!!

Cheers,
