Version 10C of ZFILER has a few changes to take advantage of ZCPR33
facilities.
+--------------------------------------------------+
| |
| DO NOT USE ZFILER VERSION 10C UNLESS YOU |
| HAVE ZCPR315, ZCPR33, OR BACKGROUNDE |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------+
The most important change is that the 'Z' command can be set to log into
the current directory without the annoying warmboot that used to be required
(ZCPR33 has a facility that allows directories to be changed from within a
program). This version also queries the option bytes at the beginning of
ZCPR33 to determine whether user numbers above 15 can be logged into. If
so, ZFILER will do likewise. The option bytes are also used to determine
how password checking is to be handled. If the option byte indicates that
the command processor is not checking passwords, then neither will ZFILER.
If the command processor bypasses password checking when the wheel byte is
set, so will ZFILER.
If ZFILER detects that ZCPR33 is not running (perhaps BGii is running
instead), then it will use default values for the option bytes. It will not
allow logging into user areas above 15, will assume that passwords are to be
checked, but will bypass that checking if the wheel byte is set.
Four versions of the code are included in the library. They are
distinguished by the last two or three characters in the file name. If
there is a '+' at the end, then DateStamper support is included. 'R4' means
that reverse video and four columns of files; 'D5' means dim video
highlighting and 5 columns of files.
ZFCNF.Z80 is a configuration for changing some of the patchable options.
It contains instructions for its use.
