I'm a Apple CP/M 2.2 user, my configuration consists of a 64K Apple ][+ with a Z80 softcard. I can run Apple CP/M 56K and Apple CP/M 60K without difficulties. I would like to install ZCPR2 on my Apple but therefor I need a SYSGEN program, which I don't have. On my CP/M system disk I have two programs called CPM56.COM and CPM60.COM which write the CP/M image to the system tracks of a disk. The problem is, I think, that those programs don't take the memory image, but a disk base image ? Who has already installed ZCPR2 on an Apple and how did he/she solved the SYSGEN problem ? All kind of information is welcome, my electronic mail address is DHAESE@BANUIA51.BITNET Kindly regards from D'haese Gratien.

I'm a Apple CP/M 2.2 user, my configuration consists of an Apple ][+ with a Z80 Softcard, and I'm a fan of Turbo Pascal 2.0 . My problem is how eliminating the "include error message (Y/N)" when Turbo Pascal is being executed and second how preventing Turbo Pascal making a BAK (backup) file ? Can this be done with some patches with DDT ? I've got the same problem with Wordstar 3.01P (eliminating BAK). Electronic mail address is DHAESE@BANUIA51.BITNET Kindly regards from D'haese Gratien.

There was a patch sent around years ago to eliminate the "Include error messages" prompt. Sorry, I didn't save it. Turbo and WordStar do not create .BAK files, so it's *really* tough to get them not to do so. In both of these products, the .BAK file is the previous version of the file you're working on. When you edit a file with Turbo, the entire file is pulled into memory. When you write it out Turbo renames the old .PAS file to be .BAK. WordStar does things a little differently: As you edit a file, pieces of it are shuffled between the workspace in memory and a temporary file named <filename>.$$$. When you finishe editing, WordStar writes everything out to a new file, deletes the temporary file, and renames the old file to be .BAK. I'd guess that you must never have had a system crash while editing with either Turbo or WordStar, or made a really *bad* mistake in editing that you wish you could fix back easily. If you had, you'd be *glad* to have the backup files around! I had an Apple ][+ with a SoftCard for a couple of years, and I have an Apple //e with a PCPI Applicard now; and even with the tiny 128Kbyte capacity of Apple floppies, it's worth the safety.
