W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA (Keith Petersen) (09/01/86)
Norm Gregory, SysOp of Seattle's "Downspout" Z-Node, provides this
list of best public domain software for the CP/M user. This list is
updated monthly. It is presented here for your information and does
NOT in any way indicate that ALL these files are available from
SIMTEL20, my RCP/M, or GEnie's CP/M RoundTable. However, many are
available from these sources.
PD:<CPM>CPM.CRCLST on SIMTEL20 (the file listing all the filenames,
sizes and CRCs of the PD:<CPM.xx> directories) has been updated as
of today.

SEPBEST2.LST is a revised version of SEPTBEST.LST to correct for duplicate
entries, bad alphabetical sort, and incorrect end-of-file. No entries have
been altered. -- Keith Petersen, W8SDZ -- 9/1/86 0938 edt.

----
ACMDU11.LBR - ZCPR3
Allows you to add, delete and view aliases in an ALIAS.CMD file without a
word processor. ACMDUTIL was written for those of us who write aliases on
the fly. V1.1 now searches BASE: rather than ROOT: for the ALIAS.CMD file
and takes an optional DU: on the command line to find any copy of ALIAS.CMD.
-----
ACREATE3.LBR
ACREATE now searches A0: and A15: and DCREATE extracts the command
line from an alias file and puts it in a text file for editing.
That's right, ACREATE3.COM creates a ZCPR3 ALIAS file from a standard
text file. And DCREATE.COM will create a text file from an ALIAS file.
The system works well and is fast. (01:52:31 AM Jul 14, 1985)
----
ADIS.LBR - CP/M
Matt Wing's Z80 and 8080 disasembler.

----
ARUNZ09.LBR - ZCPR3
ARUNZ now has MENU/VMENU-style user prompts (but better!) and parameters
that read Z3 registers and memory locations. If you run a Z3 system and
do not use ARUNZ you are missing what is perhaps the best of all Z3
utilities. Store all your alias scripts in one little ASCII text file.
----
ASCII.LBR - CP/M
ASCII.COM is for folks with poor memories. Just type in ASCII<CR> and
press any key. The key and it's HEX code is displayed. ^C to end the

newer. Thanks to George Peace.
----
BBCAT10.LBR
BBCAT is a catalog program integrated with the archive/dater/backup
utility BBACK (v6.0) to provide a convenient way of keeping track of
backed-up files and of eliminating duplicates. Unlike NCAT, UCAT et
al, which are meant chiefly for the floppy-disk user, BBCAT is de-
signed primarily for those with hard disks who only use floppies for
back-up and storage.

BISHOW32 reads just about any text file, whether or not it is squeezed
or enclosed in a library. It allows you to move forward and back in
the file by a page or a line at a time. You can scroll horizontally
in a file wider than the screen. You can jump back to the top of the
file. It uses Wordstar cursor keys, as well as alternates. Fits in 2k
----
BRADFORD.LBR - CP/M
Aaron Contorer's Near Letter Quality printer program for Epson and Gemini
printers. A commercial package that Aaron is now distributing as Freeware.
If you use it, send Aaron $15 and he will send you his manual, which tells
you about advanced features.

----
BYE510.LBR - RCPM/BBS
BYE5 is the program most RCP/M systems use (for CP/M 2 and CP/M 3) to
interface their computer and modem to their local BBS system. This
version adds the SYSLOG option which captures all input from the remote
user. Other improvements...read BYE5.HQS in the .LBR.
----
CHEFREC.5Q - CP/M
More recipes for Chef.com.
----
CHOP.LBR - CP/M
CHOP is a little CP/M program written in Turbo Pascal to copy a large
text file into a number of consecutive smaller ones which are easier
to handle and edit. The new files have numbered extensions (file
types). The file will be divided into pieces, each having 128 lines.
These can be edited and then re-combined with PIP. Program is very
slow and files are quite small, typically 5-8k each (depends on the
average line length).

Latest in the DIRFIRST series (v 3.1).
----
DIRR7.LBR - CP/M
Directory file, alphabetizes vertically in an unique manner generally
considered to be superior to that of "SD". Type '?' for a help guide
to see the various options available. In extended mode, shows system
files, R/O and archived files with special characters, making use of
reverse video, lower case, etc. superfluous. Can also make hard-copy
or a disk file including those attributes. Has several unusual fea-
tures you will immediately like. Fixed the 'A' option this version.
[ 11:36:24 PM Dec 11, 1985 ]
----

----
DZ-FEB86.LBR - CP/M
This is latest version of DAZLSTAR, an interactive Z80 disassembler
New version has comprehensive install program, "side-line" comments,
active cursor indicator in both ascii and hex fields, and greatly
improved menus. Extremely flexible. If you do any disassembly, you
need this one. [ 04:54:14 AM Apr 06, 1986 ]
----
EPRO.LBR - CP/M
E-Prolog is a public domain prolog interpreter for Z-80 computers.
The .LBR file contains the interpreter, a library of logical predi-
cates (AND, OR, etc.), some sample databases, assembly language
source modules, documentation, and some other things. E-Prolog is
a minimal prolog, but it works for constructing databases and
inference rules within them. Its main lack is that it won't do
even integer arithmetic. It will do disk I/O.
----
EXPRESS1.LBR - CP/M
A very fast full screen text editor. EXPRESS v1.0: 1) includes a
built in macro key translator and editor; 2) can be installed on any
CP/M 2.2 system with at least 48k of memory and a terminal with direct
cursor addressing; 3) is not a word processor; 4) is a preliminary and
limited implementation, distributed without charge, to introduce users
to the potential of the EXPRESS full screen editor from Cecil and Laine
Stump of Woodinville, Washington. [ 02:51:25 AM Sep 28, 1985 ]

----
FATCAT24.CHG - FATCAT
Locations in FATCAT24 to change the "|" delimiter to something your
printer can print i.e. a ":".
----
FATCAT24.LBR - CP/M
Steve Cohen's (Chicago) update of his marvelous catalog program stamps out
bugs in version 2.3 and adds some goodies such as a print to file routine.
If you came to the party late FATCAT is the super-duper-disk cataloguer
featuring rapid-fire disk insertion, with tedious catalog updating taking
place after all disks entered; also library file support and a
screen-oriented "Cleanup" mode in which files can be erased or renamed
before being catalogued, and also disk-name files can be added in
this mode.
----
FBAD60.LBR - CP/M
Finds and locks out bad sectors on a CP/M-80 disk. Finally it will
now run under CP/M Plus as well using included RSX. Instructions
on how to implement version for CPM Plus are included.
----
FILT7A.LBR - CP/M
A multi-purpose filter program for text files, WordStar files or as-
sembly level source code files. Menu-selection. Removes all tabs or
optionally puts tabs at all optimum locations. This version checks
for space breaks and soft-hyphens before looking for unwanted control
characters. Very fast, when done shows a summary of what it found.
7k, 54 records.
----
FINREP22.LBR - CP/M
Eric Gans' (French Department, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA) FINd and REPlace
V2.2 which adds "V" flag to allow user verification ("Replace (y/n)?")
before replacement in text files. FINREP is a search/replace program that
remedies most of the deficiencies of Wordstar's ^QA and other similar
commands. Aside from being faster, it has important additional features:
- allows wildcards in search string (v2.0)
- allows wildcard filename (find/replace in groups of files)
- command-line entry allows batch processing by SUBMIT, etc.
- allows entry of control or hex characters (0-FF)
- can be used with object files (e.g., COM files)
- sets capitalization (first letter or whole word) and high
bit of the last character according to the old string
This last feature means that, for example, if you are writing a
scenario where the characters' names appear sometimes in CAPS and
sometimes just Capitalized, you don't need two search/replaces to
replace one name with another: JOE will be replaced by HARRY, Joe
by Harry, and even joe by harry.
----
FRONT50.LBR - CP/M
Latest update of FRONT, a program that replaces the usual CPM A>
prompt with a menu.
----
FT.LBR - CP/M
A quick, dirty, and tiny text file creator. Type FT FILENAME.EXT and start
typing. Two <CR>'s closes and saves file. [ 03:50:10 AM Oct 25, 1985 ]
----
FU-12.LBR - CP/M
File Utility is a full screen binary file editor. Cursor functions pretty
much follow WS commands. Also includes a windowed full function calculator
for binary, hex, and decimal interger. And takes up less memory than
PATCH, which is great for use small TPAers. Great hacking tool!!!
----
FUNKY12.LBR - CP/M
Allows you to program your terminal's function keys, either interactively
or from a disk file. This version includes the ability to embed control
characters and escape sequences.
----
GKEY2.LBR - CP/M
Gans' key enhancer generalized for all CP/M machines (2.2 at least).
Smaller than SMARTKEY, allows redefinition of ESCAPE sequences.
use a little beta-testing on machines other than the Kaypro.
----
GTXT11.LBR
Makes a text file into a .COM file. V1.1 update:
- exit via ^C.
- zeroes high bit to read (say) WS doc mode files
- allows printing of control characters using "^" (thus ^Z entered in
the text will blank the screen when the COM file is run.)
- page breaks can be forced with "~" However, a "[More]" is issued
every 23 lines without you having to add "~" to the text; when you
type a character the [More] is blanked out and doesn't waste a line
on the screen. (12:40:38 AM Jun 25, 1985)
----
HELP53.OBJ
HELP is version 5.3 of HELP for ZCPR3. The version adds automatic
unsqueeze, so when you issue a command like "HELP topic", HELP
will search for topic.HLP or topic.HQP along the path and in the
HELP: directory, and, when found, will load and unsqueeze as
necessary. The tradeoff is space vs speed - squeezed files take
less space but more time to unsqueeze during the load. Once loaded,
there is no difference in processing HLP/HQP until next load.
----
HIPPO11C.LBR - CP/M
Vastly improved release of Happy Investor's (tm) Personal Portfolio
Organizer. Bugs fixed, more convenience, and capacity expanded to
5 securities and 10 purchases in this free version of HIPPO (tm).
----

Modem program that has 1k protocol, automatic step-down for 2400 bps
modems and KMD-batch mode as well as MODEM7 batch. This version
changes the batch header block to work with KMD - stores the file
length as two hex bytes at the end of the block. Can now handle
files up to 8.2 megabytes, while showing additional information.
Also supports the Anchor Mark XII for autodial and is easier to use
in terminal mode with Osborne OS-1 computers. Other changes.
----
IMP-OVL.LBR - CP/M
Overlays for the IMP modem program, dated 27 Oct 85. See IMP-OVL.LST
for a list of those avaiable in this library. [ 02:49:05 AM Oct 30, 1985 ]
----
IMPATCH.LBR - CP/M
IMPATCH is a menu-driven program for patching of IMP244 default
parameters. Options include either directly patching your version
of IMP or writing a new version of IMP containing the changes. The
LBR file contains a DOC file with patch points explained.
----
INDEX85.LBR
INDEX85 reworking by David Cortesi (Dr. Dobbs, "Inside CP/M," etc.)
of his earlier indexing program. This version (no new features,
but also no bugs) is now in Turbo-pascal, and is quite elegant. Also
very useful for indexing any sort of published or just printed document.
It's provided in compiled form for CP/M 80 systems (including a 48k
version for us Z-system users), but may be recompiled for MS/DOS,
probably without code changes.
----
INDOTCOM.ZQX - ZCPR3
This .zex file will install your default RCP, FCP, NDR, PATH, and
WHEEL specifications right into Z3DOTCOM so you don't have to
load them each time you boot up unless you change them on the fly.
----
K83ZCPR3.LBR
Full implementation of ZCPR3 for older Kaypro II's and IV's (pre-1984
machines without video/graphics enhancements). Fully compatible with
the "standard" John Smith implementations for the Kaypro 10 and 484.
Gives the user full utility interchangeability without reinstallation
with ZCPR3 files (except SYS.ENV) used on Kaypro 10's and 484's. Uses
all the Smith implementation addresses.
----
K83Z3UPD.LBR
This is a library file which updates the K83ZCPR3.LBR. It contains
an updated bios image, the ASM file used to modify bios images, both
of which focus on fixing the LISTST bug in the KAYPRO rom. It also
contains an alias program which alters one byte in any other alias
program so that it can be used as a STARTUP.COM on a 58k TPA Kaypro
ZCPR3 system and a .DOC file. [ 04:05:03 AM Jan 23, 1986 ]
----
KISOR.ART - Other
Henry Kisor computer column no longer appears in The Seattle Times.
This is copy of his last piece.
----
KMD.HQP - CP/M
Help file telling how to transfer files with KMD. Beneficial for new
CP/M users who are unfamiliar with file transfer protocols. Will
hopefully save SYSOPs a lot of time trying to answer individual
questions. Even the experienced CP/M user might find the information
of interest/value. There are perhaps functions available some users
are not aware exist and might find useful to their normal operation.
----
KMD22.LBR - GENERAL CP/M
KMD is used by most RCPM systems for handling file transfers to/from
the remote user. This version uses Bob Freed's routines which allow
downloading member files from an .ARC archive library. It also uses
a concept similar to that used for IMP, MDM7 and MEX permitting easy
and rapid installation, via a master overlay merged with the object
code file. This permits a modest sized library. 33k, 259 records.
----
LABELG10.LBR
LABELG10.LBR is a Turbo Pascal file that can be used to create
Multiple Labels, store label information to disk, write to list
Disk Labels, and finally act as a MailMerge-type creator of a form
letter and the appropriate address label file. A COM file is
included that will run on any CP/M-type system. All source files
are also included.
------
LASM3.LBR
This is an enhanced version of Pete Mack's LASM assembler which was it-
self an improved version of Ward Christenson's LINKASM assembler. All
of the Z80 op codes have been added in the style of the 8080. Also
the symbol cross reference (requested by the XREF directive) will now
be printed on the console if the normal listing has been directed there
(the previous version only generated the XREF listing if the normal
listing was directed to a .PRN file).
----
LRUN23.LBR
Slight improvement over the already-good LRUN22. Program now shows
the bad command, with an LRUNZ-style error display, if it's not in
the default or selected LBR. (03:09:56 AM Jul 11, 1985)
----
LSTOOL11.LBR - CP/M
Jim Gronek's utility program designed to extend the usefulness of the
MCAT/XCAT or LCAT/XLCAT Disk Cataloging System. LST-TOOL can read the
.LST files produced by XCAT/XLCAT and report useful information on them
back to you. V1.1 utilizes a technique to automatically determine
available memory at run-time.
----
LUZ3.LBR
ZCPR3 library tools. LGET to extract and optionally unsqueeze files
from a library, LLF to display files in a library, LX to run files from
a library, LHELP to process HLP/HQP files in a library. From Rick Conn.

beats the L80 command line. [ 06:00:55 AM Nov 09, 1985 ]
----
MACPRINT.LBR - CP/M
Public domain fancy printing program that really does enhance Epson
compatibles! -- Triple height, "MAC" style characters from a
standard ASCII text file or the keyboard, runs under CP/M, and as
the signon warns, don't hold your breath if you're running it on
floppies!
----
MAKBATCH.LBR - CP/M
Fast, easy way to create and execute submit-like commands, without
submit.com or the need for an editor. Instead of a secondary .sub
file you get a primary .com file, ready to go. [ 06:11:25 AM Oct 16, 1985 ]
----
MBINDX.LBR
This program produces an index of the variables and reserved words used in
a MBASIC program file. The file to be indexed MUST be saved in the 'A'
(=ASCII) mode.
----
MEMCOM.LBR
These programs establish a virtual "ram disk", drive "E:", of various sizes,
using space from TPA. All that one must do is execute one of the MEMx.COM
programs within this .LBR and a virtual disk will be created. All
subsequent references to "E:" will deal with the ram disk. It appears that
once installed, the only way to remove the ram disk is to reboot the system.
----
MENU40.LBR
Joe Wright reworks MENU. Many interesting new features, such as a
'default' command on each menu, recognition of the quiet flag, better
handling of default directory, and more. Anyone volunteer to do
a new .HLP file? The changes are described more fully in the
source code comments. Also, try the included DEVMENU.MNU for a
taste of what can be done with this new version.
----
MEX114-U.LBR
(20 July 1985 Ron Fowler/NightOwl Software, Inc.)
This release repairs several bugs reported in version 1.12, and adds
support for 1k XMODEM file transfer packets.

MEXIT version 1.1 is Kevin Murphy's newest MEXIT/MUT library. A MUST for
any METAL/Z-MSG BBS system. Now supports the new features in KMD 11 or
later so that you may select a ratio of downloads to uploads and disallow
downloads if the ratio is exceeded. The user is informed of this status.
Also MUT109 has a new feature to allow a data file output from the USERS
file, tag selectable.
----
MCOPY43.LBR
Latest revision to MCOPY. Adds the 'N' or 'no replace' option
which AUTOMATICALLY refuses to copy when the file exists already
in the destination disk/user. Handy in aliases for setting up
ramdisks on cold boot -- mcopy43 c15:=a15:*.* N, for example,
will only do the copy if the file isn't already on the Ramdisk.
----
MKLINE.LBR - ZCPR3
CP/M and ZCPR3 utility that will insert file names into a line of
text and write them out to a disk file for use with ZEX or SUBMIT.

A very useful and easily used program that converts numebers to hex,
binary or decimal. Can also use Boolean arithmetic. Almost any
computer user has needed to convert hex addresses to decimal or vice-
versa. Source code and an interesting .DOC file included. Assembly
level code. Should run on any CP/M-80 system.
----
NEWARC.LBR - CP/M
David Rand's rewrite of Rubenstein's original programs for archive

directories, running programs from archive, etc. These are faster,
take up 10% of the space that the originals did, and have otherwise
been improved.
----
NEWRITE7.LBR - CP/M
This file is used to print out the files created with TOUR (the PD
outline processor). It improves on and replaces WRITEGEN.COM. The
