WM.CTL
WM.SYM
WM.DOC   are all 'RESOURCE' files.
File name:
WM.ASM Description of customization process for WordMaster 1.06
WM.CTL  |
WM.SYM  | are files to be used with 'RESOURCE.COM' to ease  the

Submitted by:
author

This program is public domain because:
1. They contain no material proprietry to MicroPro
2. They are of no use to people who are not licencees
     of WordMaster
3. They were produced by the author. All symbols in the files
     are original.
   All documentation was written by author


To whom would this program be useful:
People using WordMaster
People using CDOS who would like a good editor capable
   of using the 'motors off' feature of CDOS


Briefly describe the program function:
The .SYM, .CTL, .DOC files can be read using Ward Christensen's
RESOURCE.COM together with the licensee's copy of WordMaster.
These  files enable a partial disassembly of WordMaster only by
licensees of that product.
The WM.ASM file describes how the users copy of WordMaster  can
then be customized.
In particular the following are facilitated:
1. Customization of cursor control characters
2. Customization of video mode control characters
3. Control of CDOS motors off feature by WordMaster.



Where is further documentation available:
WM.ASM


Hardware dependencies:
Nil, but CROMEMCO users can use the 'motors off' feature.


Software dependencies:
Needs WM.COM   (WordMaster)
      RESOURCE.COM   (From previous users group disk)


Source processor:
not applicable


Does the software "drop in":
Yes


How easy is the code to modify:
Relatively easy,  but note that the WM.CTL file is not reliable
in sections of WordMaster other than those discussed in WM.ASM

CUSTOMIZING YOUR WORDMASTER

Invoke Ward Christensen's RESOURCE.COM by typing RESOURCE
it will prompt with .....

Memory open to XXXX

type O5000 <RETURN>
     U7700 <RETURN>
     RWM.SYM <RETURN>          to read in the symbol file

     RWM.COM <RETURN>           "   "         program   "
     ? <RETURN>

resource will reply

SYMTBL=1E00 3A70
PC    =0100
OFFSET=5000
COMNTS=7700 7B46
CTLTBL=1800 1935

Then try
     L11C5 1202

And the jump table, fully commented, should be listed.
From then on, happy patching! (and Merry Christmas)

   THIS DISK CONTAINS FILE CONVERSION PROGRAMS FOR USE UNDER CP/M.


    THE FIRST SUBMITTAL IS "FDOS.ASM" WHICH ALLOWS THE USER TO ACCESS
PERTEC / ICOM FDOS III OPERATING SYSTEM DISKETTE FILES ON A SINGLE
DENSITY DISKETTE IN DRIVE B:. THIS PROGRAM WILL RUN ON ANY CP/M COMPUTER
WITH A SINGLE DENSITY 8" DRIVE B:. THE FDOS DIRECTORY MAY BE READ, FILES
MAY BE TRANSFERRED DIRECTLY TO A CP/M FILE, AND A CP/M FILE MAY BE WRITTEN
ON TO THE FDOS III DISKETTE.

    THE SECOND SUBMITTAL "MTX.ASM" IS A PROGRAM TO ACCESS PERTEC MTX BASIC
FILES ON A DOUBLE DENSITY DISK IN DRIVE B:. THE NATURE OF THE DISKETTE FORMAT
REQUIRES THE PROGRAM TO RUN UNDER LIFEBOAT CP/M 1.4 ON A PERTEC FD3812
DISK SYSTEM. THE MTX DIRECTORY MAY BE DISPLAYED AT THE CONSOLE, MTX FILES
MAY BE COPIED DIRECTLY TO LIFEBOAT 3812 FORMAT CP/M FILES, AND A CP/M FILE
MAY BE PLACED UPON THE MTX DISKETTE.

    THE THIRD PROGRAM "MTX2000.ASM" IS A PROGRAM TO ACCESS PERTEC MTX BASIC
FILES ON A DOUBLE DENSITY DISK IN DRIVE B:. THE NATURE OF THE DISKETTE FORMAT
REQUIRES THE PROGRAM TO RUN UNDER PERTEC CP/M 1.4 ON A PERTEC PCC 2000 COMPUTER
WITH DOUBLE DENSITY FLOPPY CAPABILITY. THE MTX DIRECTORY MAY BE DISPLAYED AT
THE CONSOLE, MTX FILES MAY BE COPIED DIRECTLY TO PERTEC PCC 2000 FORMAT CP/M
FILES, AND A CP/M FILE MAY BE PLACED UPON THE MTX DISKETTE.

    THE LAST PROGRAM IS A NEAT LITTLE ULILITY THAT ALLOWS A PERTEC PCC 2000
FORMAT CP/M 1.4 DOUBLE DENSITY DISKETTE TO BE ACCESSED IN DRIVE B: OF AN
ICOM 3812 RUNNING UNDER LIFEBOAT CP/M 1.4. THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT THE
CP/M SYSTEM SIZE BE 24K BYTES TO ALLOW ROOM FOR A TRANSIENT BIOS PATCH
TO MOVED INTO MEMORY ABOVE THE NORMAL BIOS LOCATION. OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM
IS TO SIMPLY RUN "PCC2000B.COM". FROM THEN TILL THE NEXT COLD BOOT TIME THE
DRIVE B: DISK DRIVERS WILL ASSUME PCC 2000 FORMAT CP/M DISK CHARACTERISTICS.
THE FUNCTION OF THE UTILITY IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LIFEBOAT 3812 CP/M PROGRAM
CALLED SINGLEB.
