-
- [/A] : Use ANSI rather than BIOS driver. Equivalent to `ANSI'
- statement at the beginning of the batch files.
- [/B] : Use BIOS rather than ANSI driver. Equivalent to `BIOS'
- statement at the beginning of the batch files.
- [/D] : Compile program in debug mode. All program lines are
- echoed to the screen before being executed.
- [/DS]: Compile program in single step debugging mode.
- [/NL]: Don't list file while compiling.
- [/Oname] : Link object file `name' into executable. Use with MSC.

- Personal to T.D.T.: You guys REALLY should be a little more
- reasonable about this. I would suggest
- the below as a better alternative for
- the source code and only the above as
- necessary for the documentation:
-
- rem This product use the TesSeRact(tm) Ram-Resident Library and supports
- rem the TesSeRact Standard for Ram-Resident Program Communication. For
- rem information about TesSeRact, contact the TesSeRact Development Team

- Guys, what we are doing is creating TSR's. Now these critturs need
- to use NO MORE THAN the memory needed to make it operate. Not all
- compilers ignore remarks while compiling. By the above requirement,
- SAVEIT & SAVEIT2 are a few hundred more bytes than they would
- otherwise be.
-
- ********************************************************************
- To the reader:
-
- If you distribute either SAVEIT or SAVEIT2 in their .EXE form,
- you MUST include this documentation file. As far as the source
- code is concerned, I couldn't care less.
-
- That said, let me get around to the the 'disclaimer' bull.
-
- The use of ANY of these programs distributed by myself with
- this documentation file is at your own risk. I absolve myself
- of blame for any damage that may occur from either misuse, unsupport-
- ed DOS versions, incompatible device drivers & other memory resident
- software, or incompatible hardware. If any of the .EXE files are
- distributed with the source code, the reader is free to modify
- it to she/he/its heart's content. Each utility has syntax
- descriptions either as help screens and/or embedded in the
- source code. If there are exceptions, it will be discussed
- somewhere in the rest of the documentation.
-
- This packet is being made available to, primarily, introduce
- to the average computer power user the BATCOM compiler. The
- documentation is deliberately scanty in order to maximize
- storage space for the source code. Many of the programs
- are more useful as ideas rather than as useful programs
- in their own right.
-
- By the way, I do not, in anyway, apologize for any possible
- lousy and/or inefficient code. If you'ns don't like my
- methods, you are free to use your own.
-
-
- **********From an earlier distributed packet:***********************
-
- About Wenham Software's BATCOM:
-
- They only certify the compiler for an IBM PC along with either PC-DOS 2.x
- or PC-DOS 3.x. However, I have successfully used it on NEC 80286 (MS-DOS
- 3.2), Compaq 80286 (MS-DOS 3.3), Tandy 1100FD Laptop (MS-DOS 3.3) and
- two other off brands I just can't recall. In the programs, I often
- use ECHO. and ECHO/ for blank lines. Some earlier DOS versions just
- don't allow this. I have avoided the @command (MS-DOS 3.3 & higher)
- throughout.
-
- Many of these programs are no more than examples of using BATCOM and
- should be considered as such. I relinguish all rights and responsi-
- bilities to these programs. However, any TSR programs that are
- distrubuted in their compiled format are subject to the T.D.T. re-
- strictions detailed elsewhere.
-
- These programs do have a certain amount of safeguards built in. The
- AT.BC program is a first draft. In trying to build in maximum error-
- checking along with redirection, I've yet to get it in a polished
- condition that will fully work regardless of user errors. Since this
- is the first version (there are three others), it should be used
- EXACTLY as the syntax screen shows.
-
- The one vendor I know of that sells BATCOM is the Programmer's
- Connection in North Canton, OH. Their price is 55 bucks. Their
- catalogs are usually available quarterly at Software, Etc. and
- B. Daltons.
-
- If there are any questions on these files, or if anyone desires a
- particular type of program within BATCOM's scope, I may have such
- code available.

- I regularly monitor the Fidonet echoes DBASE, FOXPRO, TEMPLAT_LAN
- and (occasionally) CLIPPER and LOTUS.
-
-
- I am distributing this as a LHARC compressed file. I have no
- problem with it being distributed by someone else as .ZIP,
- .ARC, ,PAK or .ZOO file. Simply stated, I have legit use
- of only PKARC/PKXARC and LHARC.
-
- All but the TSR programs created with BATCOM can be compressed
- with either LZEXE or PKLITE.
-
- I would prefer any file distribution be done under the name
- BCSRCE2.???
