[comp.os.cpm] Echelon and ZEX Help

Lewallen@DOCKMASTER.ARPA (02/13/89)

  Reference the one who asked about Echelon.  Echelon is no longer in
existance.  The development of the zcpr products is carried on by
another team, of with Jay Sage is a charter member and prime
contributer.  I do not know what name they are using, but if you want
information on ZCPR products, you can contact Jay's BBS system at 617-
965-7259.  The password asked for is DDT.  Or you can write his company,
Sage Microsystems East, 1435 Centre Street, Newton, MA 02159 to order
something.  His voice number (between 9am-1115pm eastern time zone) is
617-965-3552.  Read TCJ30.MZG, TCJ32.MZG on SIMTEL20 for more info;
realize that Echelon is out of business, but ZCPR is  far from gone.
  Reference ZEX---HELP!!!  I have zex403 and I am trying to run it on a
NZCOM installed ZCPR34 system on the Kaypro 10 w/turborom.  After
running zex twice, the system drops to the command prompt and the cpr
will no longer process any commands. I just get the command prompt no
matter what I enter.  Only solution is to reboot.  Ovbiously, this is
frustrating and unproductive.  Can anyone give me some ideas?

Sounds like You're in some IF, try XIF (eXit all IF levels)

I would just make two small modifications to this suggestion.  First, to
check the hypothesis, try entering the IFQ command (this may be simply
IF with no argument if you are using Joe Wright's specially modified FCP
module).  This will display the current flow state.
 
Second, XIF will not help.  It is flow controlled just like any other
commands and will only clear the flow state back to null if the current
flow state is true.  That is why I added the command ZIF (zero if state).
It clears the flow state to null no matter what the present state is.
