References: <-----------> I have used the new USENET<->SIMTEL access method (thanks!), and have fetched ccp104p.lbr. This is an enhanced and Z80'd CCP for CP/M 3.x . I have taken this and enhanced it. My enhancements include: 1. Implemented a Unix-csh style of history mechanism (storing quasi-conditionally the last 40 commands). Actually it works a bit better than csh. For instance, just after substitution, you are passed to the CP/M command line mini-editor. The csh "history" command is made a built-in "h" command. 2. Implemented a mechanism for easy further enhancement by HLL means. I think I may want to implement aliases next. No more of this assembly coding, I thought I gave that up.... :-) 3. I have made a small change that allows my CP/M "port" of the Neil Russell "make" work properly when using the option that stops-the-make when a make-step posts an error code. (I posted this "make" to net.micro.cpm a while back, and so perhaps I can be blamed for the ruckus that insued -- I had also posted a CP/M port of a shar/unshar program). Note that: a.) My "enhancements" are defeatable by conditional assembly flags in the header. b.) It remains "under 4K" which is the limit on my system without having to do anything tricky (although I *do* have my CP/M 3.0 build-disk under "make"...). c.) I also wrote a couple "c" utilities to get/put the CCP on the system-track of my floppies (making "installation" trivial). These would have to be modified for other people's machines, but they may be useful starting points assuming you know where your ccp lives. d.) I've labeled my version "1.04K" My QUESTION is this: In a week or two, after having tested this new CCP a bit more than I have so far, I'd like to distribute this back to SIMTEL in return for what I received. HOW DO I DO THIS? or: Does anyone really want CP/M enhancements anymore now-days? -- Mike Kersenbrock Tektronix Computer Aided Software Engineering Aloha, Oregon

Mike (and all), submissions to the SIMTEL20 archives are welcome.
NON-Internet readers should make a LBR or ARC of the files to be
submitted and then uuencode it. Send it via netmail to me using the
same path you use for ARCHIVE-REQUEST. Substitute W8SDZ for
ARCHIVE-REQUEST in the address. Please include a list showing the
CRCs of the files submitted, as created by my CRCK.COM program using
the "F" option to make CRCKLIST.CRC.
Alternatively, the LBR or ARC may be uploaded free to GEnie's CP/M
RoundTable software library or to my RCP/M and I'll see that it gets
to SIMTEL20.
Internet readers should NOT use netmail for file submission. Send a
message to W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA for instructions on how to use FTP to
transfer the file(s) to SIMTEL20.
