- DOSPLUS adds several features to the
-
- C-64 WEDGE and DOS 5.1 that comes on
-
- the TEST/DEMO disk. Here is a brief
-
- description of what these added
-
- features do, and why:
-
-
- 1. Entering @U or >U, followed by a
-
- RETURN, will UN-NEW a BASIC program.
-
- This will work even after a SYS 64738
-
- has been entered.
-
-
- 2. Entering @* or >*, followed by a
-
- RETURN will RESET the disk drive. This
-
- will be verified by printing the disks
-
- version of ROM to the screen.
-
-
- 3. With DOSPLUS resident in memory,
-
- HEX or BINARY numbers may be entered
-
- and will be accepted. Hex numbers are
-
- preceeded with a '$', and BINARY with
-
- a '%'. For example, if one enters
-
- PRINT $C000, the computer responds
-
- with 49152. Likewise, if one enters
-
- PRINT %1111, the computer responds
-
- with 15. HEX and BINARY numbers will
-
- also work in a RUNning program. Both
-
- of these lines will change the border
-
- color to light blue:
-
-
- 10 POKE 53280,14
- 10 POKE $D020,%1110
-
-
- I wrote this addition as I began to
-
- program in ML in earnest, and was
-
- constantly needing to convert from HEX
-
- to decimal. I would look up a specific
-
- location from within a monitor, and
-
- then try to change it from BASIC with
-
- a POKE statement. Converting easily
-
- from HEX to decimal was necessary.
-
-
- This version of DOSPLUS resides in RAM
-
- from 52000 ($CB20) to 53247 ($CFFF),
-
- and uses 1248 Bytes of memory. All of
-
- the original commands and features of
-
- the DOS 5.1 as contained on the
-
- TEST/DEMO disk are retained intact.
-
- Since DOSPLUS is ML, it is either
-
- LOADed using ,8,1 or with a Basic
-
- LOADer such as the one on this disk
-
- called DOSPLUS LOADER.
-
- To create your own DOSPLUS (if you
-
- can't copy machine-language files) I
-
- have included DOSPLUS CREATOR. By
-
- LOADing and RUNning DOSPLUS CREATOR,
-
- you can convert your own DOS 5.1 into
-
- DOSPLUS.
