- IBMREAD - A program to read IBM-PC format disks
- ===============================================

- Synopis:
- IBMREAD sourcedrv outprefix [textflag]
-
- IBMREAD is a program that will read IBM-PC format disks on a
- Sage II/IV or Stride 400 series. Sourcedrv is a CP/M-68K drive which
- maps to either of the floppies. Outprefix is used as a prefix for the
- output files - should be a drive letter followed by a colon. Textflag
- is an optional flag to indicate whether the files are text files or
- binary files - if blank (omited) the files are treated as binary, that
- is no newline conversions are done. If textflag is non-blank, then the
- files are treated as text files and newline conversions are done.
-
- Recompilation notes:
-
- IBMREAD uses modules from SAGESUBS.LIB (SUBSLIB.LIB) - uread
- and uwrite.
-
- Multi-User notes:
-
- In order to run IBMREAD under the Multi-User BIOS, the running
- task must be allowed to make configuration changes. That is, option B
- under "User Capabilities" must be on. If it isn't, ibmread will abort
- with a status code of -14 while trying to set the IBM disk
- configuration.
