- The correct Command syntax for CPM-PEN is
- "CPM-PEN Filename.Filetype" and the converted file
- will be named "Filename.PCL. Command syntax for
- PEN-CPM is "PEN-CPM Filename.PCL Filename.XXX" and the
- converted file will be named "Filename.XXX". Filename
- for the output file in this case does not have to be
- the same as the PCL Filename. I sometimes use this
- feature to avoid writing over my original file.

- The following addition to the SEQIO.LIB file supplied
- with Digital Research's "MAC" macro assembler will print
- messages pointed to by the D-E register pair. The
- message should end in a $. Correct syntax would be
- "MESS XXXX" with XXXX as the label identifying the
- beginning of the message. The message is entered into
- the program thus:
- XXXX DB CR,LF,'THIS IS A MESSAGE. $'
-
- This addition is used in PEN-CPM.ASM and CPM-PEN.ASM.
