MC:CPM; Reorganized
Most of the files in MC:CPM; have been moved to an "archive" device.
The simplified expanation of this mechanism is to consider the archive
devices as "subdirectories". Normally, there is an implied device,
DSK:, asssociated with each file. With a file in an archive device,
you must explicitly name the archive device, ARn:. Other than that,
you can reference the files as you normally do.
These archive devices show up in the normal directory listing as:
MC:CPM;
1 AR0 DOCFIL 32 +440 - All doc and misc files
14 AR1 COMFIL 23 +604 - All COM files
14 AR2 HLPFIL 26 +674 - All HLP files
0 AR3 SQ/USQ 12 +222 - All sources to SQ/USQ/FLS
1 AR4 APPLE 28 +875 - All APPLE/Z80 files (mostly MODEM)
Each of these, in turn have their own directory listings for the
individual files. (Use :FIND AR1:CPM; to list all of the COM files.)
For example, to reference the HELP COM file, use AR1:CPM;HELP COM .
If you have any problems with this, please send a note to
INFO-CPM-REQUEST.
