- "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 rest of the material on this disk has been made available through the
- courtesy of ISPUG and is from their utilities disk distributed during
- 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.
