- I'm continuously aggravated by the lack of source code these days
- (especially since MS-DOS has overwhelmed the older CP/M usage).
-
- Here's a whole package of handy batch utilities .. but source code?
- Oh, no.... someone might lose the rights or trade secrets to this
- really wondrous, unique stuff .. nuts ..
-
- So I disassembled the whole mess (well, most of it, anyway).
- Documented things fairly well (in most cases), and in almost EVERY
- case was able to make significant improvements in speed, size, logic,
- comprehension, whatever.
-
- Many many thanks to the author of ASMGEN, the key to this effort.
-
- File title notes:
- The original .COM files have been renamed with a terminal "0"
- in their file name.
- If I REALLY did a hack, you might see a "1" or "2" as the last
- file name character.
- The compiled version of my .ASM code will be the original name
- (no terminal "0").
- In one case (REBOOT), I brought in a newer version written by
- another author that wasn't in this package.
-
- If you don't like my code .. tough .. at least NOW you can tweak
- it yourself! And that's the whole idea, my friends.
-
- The original documentation is basically as I found it. Broke up a
- couple files into separate .DOCs related directly to the programs
- described, but didn't edit (or even try to understand) the original
- documentation.
