Additional notes for the CP/M-80 version of BSQ
The file BSQCPM.BSQ contains a BSQ'd (using the "bootstrap" option)
version of BSQ, compiled under Aztec C V1.06D. To convert this
file to BSQ.COM, upload the BSQBOOT.HEX file and convert it to a
.COM file using load or DDT. Run BSQBOOT and it will read
BSQCPM.BSQ and write BSQ.COM. You can then use BSQ.COM to convert
other binary files for PBBS storage and retrieval.
A feature of interest is provided by Aztec C: a file name specified
to BSQ can contain a user area specification. The syntax is:
u/d:filename.typ
where "u" is the user area. For example, 8/B:MYFILE.TXT would
specify a file named MYFILE.TXT on drive B in user area 8.
Any valid user area, from 0 to 31, can be specified, although
you should be aware that only user areas up to 15 can be set as
the default user area by the CP/M "USER" command.
