Subj: DOS WITH BATCH FILE CAPABILITY & MORE

WEENY, D, and DBATCH: DOS with batch file operation
 
 
I've uploaded 5 files which collectively are two DOS's, a demonstration batch
file and batch file driver for one DOS, and documentation for the DOS's and
batch operation.  Take all 5 files as a system related group - you won't regret
it even if you later discard some.  The file breakdown is:
 
DISK FILE TRANSFER UTILITIES (DOS): D     .BA Relocating loader that encloses
D.CO and WEENY.CO:
          (D) other programs can Call it for unlimited mem/disk file transfers
          (WEENY) World's teeniest DOS - 737 bytes DDOC  .DO Documentation of D
and WEENY covers interface with other programs
 
BATCH FILE OPERATION: DBATCH.BA General purpose Batch file driver for (D)
suited for customization DBDOC .DO Documentation of DBATCH with focus on
Typeahead buffer usage DBDEMO.DO Demonstration batch file
 
 
This upload aims at simple, efficient, error tolerant, and versatile
memory/diskette file exchanges for Model 100/102 owners.  I've considered the
needs of two groups of owners: folks who need well behaved programs that are
simple to install and use; folks who need modular and versatile programs which
they can customized and optimize for sundry purposes.  I believe I've met all
needs.
 
This upload does not address Model 200 owners.  If you need a Model 200 variant
of this upload, respond in this conference or contact me via E-Mail here at
Club 100.  I'm confident we can work out something in short order.
 
Currently I'm refining a large family of Model 100/102 Operating System
extensions, in boot-diskette loadable form, that provide a mix of up to two
memory/media services (any two media: Disk, RAMPAC, Microdrive tape) plus
memory file compression/grouping.  These are invoked from the main MENU via
simultaneous 2-key press; <ENTER><another>.  Stay tuned.
