DISPLAY.COM allows displaying an ASCII file on a 24 line
terminal, with commands similar to Digital Research's ED.COM
(but without any of the editing facilities).
Using DISPLAY.COM
For example: DISPLAY FILENAME.TXT<cr> ,will envoke the
display program and load the entire secondary entry
(FILENAME.TXT) into memory, for subsequent display of the first
23 lines of that file. Various commands can then be issued from
the terminal keyboard which will manipulate the display of the
file.
The commands shown below with a preceding "n" indicates that
an optional unsigned integer value can be specified to envoke
"n" iterations of the command. When a command is preceded by a
"-" sign, the command will cause display of the file in a
direction towards the start of the file. Unsigned integer
values are assumed to be positive values (i.e., "+") and
therefore "+" need not be specified. Also, the buffer pointer
will stop display at the top or bottom of the file if too large
a value of "n" is specified.

INSTALLATION AND USE OF MIC-XFER PROGRAM
------------ --- --- -- -------- -------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
IN ORDER TO USER MIC-XFER, THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM CONFIGURATION IS REQUIRED:
1. IBM-FORMAT CP/M SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR AT LEAST 28K.
2. MICROPOLIS CP/M SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR 17K.
3. THE SOURCE FILE 'MIC-XFER.ASM' (PROVIDED ON THIS DISK).
4. THE ABILITY FOR #1 AND #2 TO RESIDE IN THE SAME BUS AT
THE SAME TIME WITHOUT ANY HARDWARE CONFLICTS.
5. THE MICROPOLIS CONTROLLER ADDRESS (BOOTSTRAP ADDRESS) MUST BE
KNOWN. (THIS MAY BE DETERMINED BY INSPECTING THE ADDRESS
JUMPERS ON THE MICROPOLIS CONTROLLER BOARD, AND INTERPRETING
THEM ACCORDING TO THE MICROPOLIS MANUAL).
6. THE ADDRESS OF THE IBM-FORMAT CP/M WARM START VECTOR MUST BE
KNOWN. (THIS MAY BE DETERMINED BY EXAMINING LOCATIONS
1 AND 2 IN MEMORY WHILE THE IBM-FORMAT SYSTEM IS RUNNING).
THE FIRST STEP IN GENERATING MIC-XFER FOR YOUR SYSTEM IS TO GET A COPY OF
YOUR 17K MICROPOLIS SYSTEM IMAGE ONTO AN IBM-FORMAT DISK. THIS MAY BE DONE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. BOOT THE IBM-FORMAT SYSTEM.
2. TRANSFER CONTROL TO THE MICROPOLIS SYSTEM BY TYPING:
A>DDT
DDT VERS 1.4
-G<MICROPOLIS BOOT ADDRESS>
THE MICROPOLIS SYSTEM WILL BOOT UP AND SIGN ON.
3. CREATE A SYSTEM IMAGE FILE BY TYPING:
A>SYSGEN
SYSGEN VERS 1.4
SOURCE DRIVE NAME (OR RETURN TO SKIP) A
FUNCTION COMPLETE
DESTINATION DRIVE NAME (OR RETURN TO REBOOT) <RETURN>
A>SAVE 36 MIC17.COM
4. TRANSFER MIC17.COM TO THE IBM-FORMAT SYSTEM BY TYPING (FROM THE
MICROPOLIS SYSTEM):
A>DDT MIC17.COM
DDT VERS 1.4
NEXT PC
2500 0100
-G<IBM-FORMAT WARM START ADDRESS>
THE IBM-FORMAT SYSTEM SHOULD WARM-BOOT AND PROMPT. TYPE:
A>SAVE 36 MIC17.COM
NOW THAT YOU HAVE A COPY OF YOUR MICROPOLIS CP/M ON AN IBM-FORMAT DISK, YOU
MUST CUSTOMIZE MIC-XFER.ASM FOR YOUR MICROPOLIS CONTROLLER, AND THEN ASSEMBLE
IT AND COMBINE IT WITH MIC17.COM. THIS IS DONE AS FOLLOWS:
1. DETERMINE THE CORRECT VALUE FOR THE SYMBOL 'MCTL' IN MIC-XFER.
THIS MAY BE CALCULATED BY ADDING 200H TO THE MICROPOLIS BOOT
ADDRESS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR MICROPOLIS BOOT ADDRESS IS F800,
THEN THE CORRECT VALUE OF 'MCTL' IS FA00.
2. EDIT THE CORRECT VALUE OF 'MCTL' FOR YOUR SYSTEM INTO MIC-XFER.ASM.
THE 'EQU' FOR 'MCTL' MAY BE FOUND ON LINE 6.
3. WHILE YOU ARE IN THE EDITOR, YOU MAY WANT TO COMMENT OUT THE 'TITLE'
STATEMENT IN LINE 1. IF YOU ASSEMBLE MIC-XFER USING 'ASM', THIS
LINE WILL PRODUCE AN ERROR, BUT THE CORRECT CODE WILL STILL BE
GENERATED. IF YOU ASSEMBLE MIC-XFER USING 'MAC', THE 'TITLE'
STATEMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED PROPERLY, AND NEED NOT BE COMMENTED OUT.
4. USING EITHER 'ASM' OR 'MAC', ASSEMBLE MIC-XFER TO PRODUCE THE
OBJECT FILE 'MIC-XFER.HEX'.
5. MERGE MIC-XFER.HEX WITH MIC17.COM BY TYPING:
A>DDT MIC17.COM
DDT VERS 1.4
NEXT PC
2500 0100
-IMIC-XFER.HEX
-R
-G0
A>SAVE 36 MIC-XFER.COM
THIS COMPLETES INSTALLATION OF MIC-XFER IN YOUR SYSTEM.
USING MIC-XFER:
MIC-XFER WILL TRANSFER ONE OR MORE FILES BETWEEN AN IBM-FORMAT CP/M SYSTEM AND
A MICROPOLIS CP/M SYSTEM. THE SOURCE DRIVE, DESTINATION DRIVE, AND DIRECTION
OF TRANSFER MAY BE SPECIFIED IN THE COMMAND LINE. THE CP/M WILDCARDS '?' AND
'*' ARE FULLY IMPLEMENTED, MAKING MULTIPLE FILES OR EVEN WHOLE-DISK TRANSFERS
VERY EASY. MIC-XFER IS EXECUTED BY TYPING:
A>MIC-XFER S:FFFFFFFF.TTT D:X
WHERE:
S IS THE SOURCE DRIVE
FFFFFFFF IS THE AMBIGUOUS OR NON-AMBIGUOUS FILENAME
TTT IS THE AMBIGUOUS OR NON-AMBIGUOUS FILETYPE
D IS THE DESTINATION DRIVE
X IS THE DESTINATION SYSTEM - I=IBM-FORMAT
M=MICROPOLIS
FOR EXAMPLE, TO TRANSFER ALL '.COM' FILES ON IBM-FORMAT DRIVE B TO MICROPOLIS
DRIVE A, YOU WOULD TYPE:
A>MIC-XFER B:*.COM A:M
WHILE EXECUTING, MIC-XFER WILL REPORT EACH FILENAME AS IT IS TRANSFERRED,
AS WELL AS ANY ERRORS WHICH MAY OCCUR. AN ERROR ON ONE FILE OF A MULTI-
FILE TRANSFER WILL NOT ABORT THE TRANSFER OF THE REMAINING FILES. EXECUTION
MAY BE INTERRUPTED BY STRIKING CONTROL-C, WHICH WILL BE RECOGNIZED AT THE
COMPLETION OF THE CURRENT FILE TRANSFER.
