- THE UCPM MANUAL -- Release 1.0
- 1 February 1988
-
-
- A DESCRIPTION OF THE UCPM MANUAL
- --------------------------------
- The UCPM Manual is intended to serve as a "universal"
- CP/M Manual, and represents a compilation of general articles
- on CP/M programming, machine-specific information collected by
- way of a survey of CP/M users, and reference information on
- CP/M programming (see the Table of contents in PART1 for more
- detailed information on the contents).
-
-

- FUTURE DEVELOPMENT -- YOUR HELP SOLICITED
- -----------------------------------------
- This is the first release of The UCPM Manual, and you
- will find shortcomings in many areas. In the first place,
- we'd like to have information on more CP/M computers. If
- yours is not listed (how about a Commodore 128 owner?),
- please fill out the form UCPM.FRM included in this archive,
- and return it to me. In the second place, we'd like to have
- more reference materials, like expanded BDOS and BIOS charts,
- an ASCII table, 8080 and Z80 mnemonics, and perhaps Small C
- library information. If you can supply any of these in
- machine readable form, please let me know!
-
-
- IF YOU CAN'T USE WORDSTAR FORMAT
- --------------------------------
- The UCPM Manual is supplied in Wordstar format. I had
- originally intended to supply it in both Wordstar and ASCII
- format, but it grew so large that I fell back on supplying
- it in WS format only, and providing with it a conversion
- program, UNSOFT, that will go part way towards converting
- the files to ASCII. After running UNSOFT, you will have to
- remove the Wordstar format lines that begin with a period.
- You might replace the page breaks (.pa) with a formfeed
- (^L), if your printer will recognize it.
-
-
- TIPS ABOUT PRINTING THE MANUAL
- ------------------------------
- If you have Mailmerge, you can print the whole manual
- by setting up a print file with something like this in it:
-
- .fi part1.str
- .fi part2.str
- .fi part3.str
- .fi part4.str
- .fi part5.str
-
- You don't need to add page breaks (.pa) in the print file, since
- each of the UCPM files concludes with a page break. If you have
- a dot-matrix or other printer that can produce compressed print
- (17 c.p.i. and 8 l.p.i.) you can print the manual using form-
- feeds and it will fit nicely in an 8.5" x 5.5" binder.
