The Z-System has an extensive set of library (LBR) tools. VLU is a full-screen shell that will display, and extract in uncrunched form, a .?Z? file. LTYPE will view in scrolling mode a crunched member of a library. Other tools, such as LGET and LPUT, can be used to extract and insert members. These tools, like the Z-System, continue to evolve with improved features. Recent versions of LPUT, LDIR, and CRUNCH maintain the datestamps of files inserted and extracted as LBR members, when hosted by a system running DateStamper. JetFind, a fast string-search utility with grep features, will search sQueezed and crunched (?Z?) ascii and WS files inside one or several libraries. Options allow extracting matching lines or the entire file. Z-System tools are available on Z-Nodes and simtel20. The latest versions of the Z-System (NZ-COM for CP/M 2.2, Z3PLUS for CP/M Plus), and also JetFind, are available from Sage Microsystems East and Plu*Perfect Systems, and also selected Z-Nodes. -- bridger mitchell
