TPUG Toronto -- SuperPET Distribution Disk for January 1985
================================================================================
"describe.jan/85" SEQ This describe file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Contributed by Bill Dutfield.
This program is a text formatter adopted from the IBM-PC world, It
provides a formatting capability based on the use of imbedded formatting
commands (tags) within the text to direct the formatting program on how
compose the text. This program as distributed is set up for an EPSON
printer but should be easy to convert for most other printers.
Comprehensive documentation is included in the file 'finish.rawdoc:e'.
This is a reasonably full function text formatter providing margin
control, justification, spacing, underlining, imbedded file calls etc.
137 "finish:bpe" SEQ Wateloo Basic program, load with language editor.
101 "finish.rawdoc:e" SEQ The documentation for 'finish:bpe'. To be easily
read, this file should be processed by
'finish:bpe'. To do this, load mBASIC; enter
'edit' mode and load the program; enter g finish:bpe and when the
program has loaded enter 'run'. Read the introductory screen, and
move onto the menu. Leave all options alone. Select key 7 and enter
against the prompt: finish.rawdoc:e<cr>. Then enter the appropriate
drive number when asked. At the menu now select key 0. and wait a few
seconds for the next prompt. Enter a <cr> and then answer the following
question on printer selection as desired. The remaining questions should
be answered so as to print/display the entire document. The document
can be put to the screen and the scrolled output controlled by the SPACE
bar for easy reading.

the summer of 1984.

* Contributed by Delton P. Richardson. This contribution draws
graphs on the screen and also prints them. This is very easy to
use and by changing two line in the program it worked with my
Epson MX80. (It does not use graphics mode.) These changes are
identified in the documentation file. The program does a very pretty
job, automatically changing the scale of the abscissa to match the
values you enter for the bars.
74 "bgmenu:bp" PRG The program which does the work.
19 "bar_graph:e" SEQ Explanation of the programs
26 "bg_tutorial:e" SEQ A tutorial on how to use these programs
32 "bg8032:bp" PRG A printer configuration program, mBASIC
with which to configure the 8032 Commodore
printer to do all sorts of stuff with the
bar graph program.
8 "g1.gr" REL Three pre-done graphs.
8 "g2.gr" REL
8 "g3.gr" REL
7 "sort:bu" PRG This is a general purpose sort which runs in
mBASIC. It will sort any list on disk, one entry
per line, and send the sorted list to printer
and or disk.
17 "sortdir:bu" PRG Uses the same sort as the program above, but
is designed specifically to get and sort
directories. Before you run it, send a
directory of the disk you want sorted to that
disk, either with: di disk index (drive 0) or
di disk/1 disk/1.index (for drive 1). The
program picks up 'index', sorts it and
optionally sends the sorted list, in two
columns, both to disk and printer.
7 "TRANSLATE.BP" PRG A program to convert 6809 ASCII files to
WordPro format, in 6502 BASIC 4.0. It prints
garbage to the screen as a progress report,
but the resulting file is ok. You'll need to
take out a lot of hard carriage returns in
WordPro. Provided by Stan Brockman.
6 "fort_patch2:bp" SEQ The Waterloo patch for mFortran, as printed in
issue 13 of the SuperPET gazette. Creates a
patched mFORTRAN on drive 0 if old version is
in drive 0. Takes about 40 minutes.
10 "print2col:bu" PRG To print an index or a list in two columns,
where the entries proceed to the bottom of
the page on column 1, then start at the top of
the page on column 2. May need modification
to run on your printer as it requires a back
spacing printer.
This next set of modules comprise a modification to the SuperPET's
operating system, which allows an interrupt driven routine to reside
in the banks, out of user memory. Hello is the loader, and 'gscroll'
is the program it loads.
The remainder of the modules are part of
18 "hello.asm" SEQ gscroll. Load Hello from the main memory.
1 "hello.cmd" SEQ It allows you to set the date and time.
3 "hello:men" PRG So long as hello is modifying the operating
14 "sys_patch.asm" SEQ system, you can load and use any language or
16 "scroll.asm" SEQ facility not needing bank 15.
62 "irq1x.asm" SEQ Gscroll controls scrolling of the SuperPet screen
16 "scrndmp.asm" SEQ with the SHIFT/OFF key. It dumps to disk, to a
2 "gscroll.cmd" SEQ file called Screen_Dump, from Top of screen to
7 "gscroll" PRG the line above the cursor. It creates the file
if it does not exist, and appends to it, if it
does already exist. Finally it will dump
to any printer. To dump to printer, press SHIFT/OFF TAB; to
dump to disk, press SHIFT/OFF LEFT-ARROW. If you think you have
crashed, just press SHIFT/OFF and you should be back in business.
Terry Peterson has put some 'instant keyboard' phrases on the
SHIFTED keypad. You can define them by going to screen mode, and
printing them to screen in the microEditor. In the boot-up mode,
you have phrases on the SHIFTED keypad. If you don't want them,
hit PF1 and you'll be back to the normal SuperPET pad. If the dumps
won't work, touch PF1 to change modes and they will. The old PF
commands are on the UNSHIFTED pad after you load. Note particularly
that you have an INSERT mode on Terry's pad. When you touch SHIFT
INSERT, <INSERT> will light up on the lower right corner of the
screen. Start typing. Voila! Insert ala WordPro or any good WP
program
24 "nscroll.asm" SEQ Loads fom the menu at start of session at $7c00
2 "nscroll.mod" PRG Lives with all the languages, although APL will
1 "nscroll.cmd" SEQ give a 'ws incompatable message to a )LOAD, but
you can )COPY stuff into the workspace.
'nscroll' provides some of the features of 'gscroll.
'nscroll' provides control of scrolling and dumping to printer.
the program is set for IEEE4, but .asm file needs only one change
to operate with other printer filename. Scrolling control is OFF,
and screen dumping is SHIFT OFF.
