[net.micro.cpm] New CPM.DIRLST

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 - 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.)
