Can anyone out there help? The Scribble formatter, from which Perfect Format and the Final Word are derived, tokenizes input and strips out 'garbage' characters such as CTRL-H. In practice and principle you can't embed ANY control codes and special characters directly in a .mss file and expect to see them in your output. You really don't want to do thie anyway, since it destroys the printer independence that is one of the strong points of the scribe-ish formatting model. The method suggested by Perfect Software's old Berkeley tech support was to define one of the extra printer strings, such as the italic on/off to include a backspace. You therefore create an 'e' overstruck with a '`' with something like: e@i(`) Of course, this creates some problems justifying things, since the width of the grave accent gets counted even though it never really took up a space. You can make justification work if you only need to do a few characters: You include the CTRL-H and the grave-accent directly in the italics string, doing the same with other special character and the boldface, underline, etc. strings. But you'd be screwed if you wanted to use some of those attributes as originally intended at the same time. (And I don't want to think about the proportional spacing implications...) You'd be in slightly better shape if you have one of the MS-DOS Perfect Formats, which handle MUCH larger TOCs and indeces, and have three more special printer control string pairs as 'font1,' font2' and 'font3.' I don't know what additional flexibility is provided by The Final Word, though it would be worth checking out. The less said about PW 2.0 the better. Personally, I'd run with a PC Mince and a Perfect Format or a Final Word formatter. I have a number of things from the old 'Amythyst Users Group' that might be of interest to diehard Mince hackers, and a (relatively) good 'C' mode of my own design. Reply via mail and I'll try to dredge it out of the CP/M archives: A) If there seems to be enough interest, and B) I can find a machine to read my old Osborne-1 disks. Yes, I hacked Mince with 90k drives, and it was VERY painful. -Dave Brower ---------------- Mince, Scribble, Crayon and The Final Word are trademarks of Mark of the Unicorn, Inc.

I just bought MicroTree from them (ls, cd, pwd, tree, mv, cp, rm, mkdir, rmdir) and it works very well (it maps user areas to named directories). I run all three programs under MPM-816, but I have also used Microshell and Microtools under CP/M-80, and CP/M-816. Note that they do not support Microshell under MPM , some things do not work well in this environment ( no line editor for example, and script files which cross user and drive boundaries don't work well). In spite of the problems I found when running Microshell under CP/M-816 and MPM-816 (you loose the command line editor), the features you can use make it worth it (input and output redirection, pipes, file and drive paths, delay constants, customizable prompt, and specially their shell language) It beats SUBMIT, XSUB, IF,..., etc. Of course, you can only run 8 bit programs under it. I have dedicated one user (0) in one logical drive in my Hard disk to COM files and microshell scripts, and have COM versions of all my important utilities (SQ,LU,USQ,SD,FIND,GREP,etc). I keep the shell as a detached process and attach to it on a different page of my terminal (Televideo 950 with 4 pages) any time I want to run an 8 bit prog. When I got Microtree from New Generations they also included a copy of 'cd.com' so I could change directories inside the shell. I might also order the 8 bit version to be able to use 'cp', 'mv', etc. Ruben Mitchell Cell Research Inst.

Whenever you send a message about a bug report or wonderful new patch that you've written, PLEASE tell what OS/CPU you are using. On info-cpm you could assume that everyone was using an 8080, but now discussions have branched out to include CP/M-86, OS-9, MS-DOS, etc. The problem is especially acute with programs like Turbo Pascal that have been implemented on various CPUs. A recent bug report caused quite a bit of panic, but the bug is (apparently) only in the MS-DOS version. Thanks. dsw, fferd Fred S.

Posting of .com files could be done in uuencode/uudecode format.

The current submit creates its work file, $$$.sub, on the default drive, then looks for it on A:. The patch causes the work file to be made on A:. That way, the search works better. Using DDT, change location 5BBh of submit.com from 0 to 1. That's it. As a check, note that locations 5BCh to 5C6h contain "$$$ COM". Look up the syntax of FCBs to see the rationale for the change (exercise for the reader :-). If you have a good library (personal or public), check out Microsystems, Jul/Aug 1982 p 60. There are a lot of patches listed there, for pip, asm, movcpm, et al. -- Gene E.

What I needed is a script to make the output of 'SD $SDALNP' more readable. I needed to set the printer margins,etc; form feed in between drive listings, I wanted the date, and the option to specify system and library files. I 'FILTER'ed the file to eliminate control chars (like ESC G4, ESC G8, ESC [ 1;96s, etc I use for my Televideo 950 and Qantex printer). The script is in a file called 'hdisk.shl' and it is invoked by the name 'hdisk ' :-------------------------------------------------------------------- : PROGRAM hdisk : USAGE hdisk [options] :
