CONTENTS OF VOLUME # 20

    It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  welcome  new  members  with
donations  to  share.  This  issue has a range of interest  so  I
couldn't  classify this disk into any one  category.  We'll  just
call it general then.

1.   Craig Rudlin has written a program that creates a dictionary
  of words and/or short phrases so you can communicate in plain
  Enlish with the computer. It also compiles a list of patients
  with specific diagnoses, s/p prcedures, tests, etc; and assign
  specific tests and protocols to laboratory specimens. Read the
  DOC for in-depth info.

    TERMS.DOC/PAS            TINIT.PAS
    TPRINT.PAS               TER.PAS

2.  Leonard Farwell worked with Ray Penley to solve his Epson
 printer problems so these programs are the result.

    SUB.COM/PAS  -  a  menu file to run the major  CP/M  command
                    files.
    HOLD.COM/PAS -  a file to go with SUB to keep responses from
                    scrolling off the screen. (for the program
                    to function properly, the CP/M commands:
                    SUBMIT,PIP,STAT,SYSGEN AND FORMAT, need to
                    be on the same disk with SUB AND HOLD).
    EPSON.COM/PAS-  a  menu  file  to  send  code  to  Epson  MX
                    printers  for compressed  print,  emphasized
                    print etc.
    OKI.COM/PAS  -  a menu file to send code to Okidata 82/83
                    printers for compressed print etc.

3.  David Cortesi has donated a really interesting program
 called INDEXER. It is a machine aid to create an index for any
 book or other situation where an index would be benifitical .It
 does the job of the pile of index cards normally used and it
 makes the finished index automatically, as a disk file that
 can be edited and printed. He even enclosed a small sample.

    INDEXER.COM/DOC/PAS/SUB       PZKEY.INX/TRE

4.   Peter  Grogono has submitted this small program to follow up
    on his article in Newsletter #12. It returns the difference
    in value between the top of the heap and the stack as an
    integer value. It'll keep you from running out of memory
    without warning.

5.  Ron Tornambe has written us an article and now he has
 donated an interesting Pascal program to scan the Directory.
