It's me again. I have managed to scrounge an old copy of GOCCP.ASM, and a copy of MAC to assemble it with. After some poking about, I found a good way to stuff it into PCPI CP/M where it sits in 6502 space, and that works just fine, but it requires me to have an AUTOST.COM on all my boot disks to load GOCCP the first time. Has anyone figured out how to patch the PCPICPM file with a new CCP so that it can be relocatable by the INSTALL.COM program? Sheesh, sometimes I wish I just had a SYSGEN.COM to play with.... BTW: For those that don't know, GOCCP is a CCP replacement that changes A> to A0> (adds user number) prints a list of files as it ERAses them (good for when you use wildcard ERAses), looks for com files in user 0 on the current disk if not found in current user area, then looks on drive A, user 0, provides a GO command that simply jumps into the TPA (0100H) after formatting the command line properly, fixes a couple of bugs, and in general does a better job than the "vanilla" CP/M but isn't as complicated as ZCPRx. Anyone who wants the source, the .HEX for CCPs at 0DC00H, the source and .HEX for my funny AUTOST.COM, or who wants to buy me a rolls royce (:-}) can send mail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Sayer | Packet Radio: N6QQQ @ WA6RDH | Fido: 161/31 uucp: ...!sdcsvax!ucbvax!ucdavis!uop!mrapple Disclaimer: You didn't REALLY believe that, did you? cat flames > /dev/null

Hey Nick,
That's a very interesting piece of program you have, I'm very
much interested in it. By the way I've an Apple ][+ 64 K, 2 drives,
and uses a Softcard CP/M, which runs Apple CP/M 2.23.
What is the main difference between a PCPI and a Soft-card ? I assume
that the CP/M soft isn't the same. As I see you use PCPICPM.COM file
to install a CP/M image on disk and I use CPM60.COM .
But good news for you maybe is that I ones tried to install P2dos, a
replacement for BDOS, which I failed to install on an Apple, but then I
had a lot of responses of INFO-CPM readers who wanted to help me.
There was one program that was very useful, nl. SYSLOAD.COM from the
author of P2DOS, which basically could load the CP/M image into memory
(at a save place, where exactly I cann't remember for the moment --) I've
to check this one -- ) and afterwards save it again to disk. On the
other hand I used therfore DDT for the same purposes.
If you want more information about this please ask me, and in the meanwhile
I'll refresh my memory about that subject.
OK

P.S.: P2DOS is still not working on an Apple.
