The following changes have been made in the SIMTEL20 CP/M index, which has been updated to reflect the above changes. 1. All files are listed in SIMCPM.IDX. Those which have no descriptions have "No description available" in that field. 2. NODESCR.IDX has been discontinued. --- A list of all files in the CP/M archives is contained in directory PD2:<CPM.FILEDOCS> as follows: SIMCPM.IDX contains a listing of all files, with a brief one line description for each file. SIMCPM.ARK contains the latest SIMCPM.IDX, AAAREAD.ME (this file), SIMCVT.BAS, SIMCVT2.BAS, SIMCVT3.EXC, SIMCPM.DB2, SIMCPM.HDR, SIMCPM.INF, SIMDISP.AWK, SIMDISP.DOC, and SIMCVT.FOR. Also available: QUICKREF.LST a quick reference list to SIMTEL20 CP/M directories. SIMCVT.BAS and SIMCVT2.BAS are BASIC programs to convert SIMCPM.IDX to a human-readable text file. SIMCVT3.EXC a VM/CMS REXX program to print SIMCPM.IDX SIMCVT.FOR a VAX/VMS FORTRAN program to print SIMCPM.IDX SIMCVT.SPS a VAX/VMS SPS program to print SIMCPM.IDX SIMDISP.AWK an awk script for displaying SIMCPM.IDX in outline form. SIMDISP.DOC explains how to use SIMDISP.AWK. SIMCPM.DB2 tells how to use SIMCPM.IDX with dBASEII. SIMCPM.HDR a PC-File+ database header for use with SIMCPM.IDX. SIMCPM.INF information on record structure of SIMCPM.IDX. PD2:<CPM>FILES.IDX is updated when new files are added to the CP/M archives. This is a comma-delimited file, without descriptions, suitable for importing into PC-File+ or DBase III. DISCLAIMER Due to the large number of files available, the archive maintainers cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the various programs. When a program bug is reported, immediate action is taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from the archives. Still, users must understand that all archive programs are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage, incidental or otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so that you can recover if files are damaged or erased. This is particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case malfunctions can be spectacularly disasterous.
