From: Rick Conn <rconn@brl> AR84:CPM contains a new set of SYSLIB and ZCPR2 files. These files are: SYSLIB 27REL SDIR, SEPRINT, SEPSTR, SVERSION, and SYSTEST2 (MQC) ECHO (COM and MAC) The S...MQC files are changed/new SYSLIB sources. SYSLIB 27REL is the REL file of SYSLIB 2.7. The new ECHO (for ZCPR2) is using the new SYSLIB to provide the user with the ability to issue escape sequences to his terminal from the command line. Unlike the old ECHO, which interpreted escape sequences (and any control character) and printed them in the ^c form, this ECHO performs only limited interpretation (of TAB primarily) and echoes all other characters in their "exact" forms. SYSLIB 2.7 contains a fix to the DIRLOAD routine which corrected a problem with the DIRF routine. It also contains two new routines, namely EPRINT and EPSTR, which perform like their PRINT and PSTR counterparts (same I/O requirements) except that they perform limited control character processing. There will probably be a Z2SYS 4MOD file to following in a day or two. CRCs check. Enjoy! Rick
