WANCHO%simtel20@sri-unix.UUCP (11/11/83)
From: "Frank J. Wancho" <WANCHO@simtel20> A new format for the .DIRLST files has been developed. The first of this new format is [SIMTEL20]MICRO:<CPM>CPM.DIRLST. Here's a sample: Filename (MICRO:) Type Size CRC (bytes) <CPM.6502>6502.SIMLBR COM 75904 074AH <CPM.6502>6DASM.MAC ASCII 2659 3E16H <CPM.6502>D6502.MAC ASCII 11753 C978H <CPM.APPLE>APBDSC.PATCHS ASCII 7371 F65EH <CPM.APPLE>APBOOT.MAC ASCII 1173 CF3AH ... --Frank

From: David Towson (CSD) <towson@amsaa> Frank - I just printed a copy of the new cpm.dirlst, and I just want to say thank you thank you thank you thank you... I'm sure it took a lot of work to put that thing together, but it was worth it. Having the CRC's is really helpful, as is knowing without ambiguity which files are ASCII and which are binary. (Not all files listed with "byte" length 36 in the former directory are in binary - archives, for example.) Best regards, Dave
