- SUMMARY OF ZCPR2 UTILITIES
-
- THE ENVIRONMENTS THEY CAN RUN IN
-
-
- by Richard Conn
-
-
- 1. Foreword One misconception which many people who first
- see the ZCPR2 system have is that the programs which are provided
- with ZCPR2 will run only under ZCPR2. In many instances, this is
- not the case. All of the ZCPR2 utilities can be installed, via
- the ZCPR2 utility called GENINS (GENINS can even install itself),
- and one way to install these utilities is to ignore all of the
- ZCPR2 special features. By so installing them, these utilities,
- in many cases, will run under CP/M 2.2 (unmodified) and CP/M Plus
- without any further alteration. All such utilities are in the
- public domain, so they may be used freely by everyone, even the
- non-ZCPR2 community.

- 3. Notes on the ZCPR2 Utilities
-
- A. Most ZCPR2 utilities have built-in documentation so
- that the user can ask them what the syntax of their command lines
- is
-
- B. ALL ZCPR2 utilities have things such as internal
- paths which enable some ZCPR2 features to be realized on simple
- CP/M systems without any modification to the system itself
-
- C. Most ZCPR2 utilities offer advantages over the
- conventional counterparts available; for example, ERASE erases
- R/O files (with prompting), has an inspect mode (so that the user
- can say Y or N to each file selected independently), built-in
- help, and file lists as arguments (ie, ERASE F1,F2,F3,...)
