All

programs and

_utilities

_provided

_in

_the ZCPR3 _{System are} used

_in

conjunction with Z—Com. The _{more important ones are}

_briefly

_{described here,}

but the

_online

HELP

_facility

_gives

_full

_details

_{on these} and

_all

_remaining.

After Z-System

_{is installed}

_put HELP.COM and _the HLP

_files

on the current disk and _type HELP ZCPR3 _or ZRDOSI

_for

_full

_{help menu.} Where

_{assist is}

appropriate, command _syntax and _usage

_is

_obtained by _typing <command>

_//<cr>.

AC _{AC copies}

files

from one

location

_{with verification}

option, while setting

_file

archive

_attribute.

Only changed

_files

_{are copied.} ALIAS The ALIAS

_utility

_is

used _{to create an Alias}

_file

and _{to display}

_its

contents. An _Alias

_is

_{essentially a text}

_script,

expanded and _{resolved (with}

parameter passing) when _{the Alias program}

_is

_run. Very _complex command _lines,

complete with Flow Control (IF), can be included within an Alias.

CD CD _{permits going from}

one

directory

to another, simultaneously running an environmental

_file

(ST.COM) _{to establish the desired conditions in} a directory _area. CD _{may require}

a password to move to a new directory.

CLEANDIR Removes _{Ck-allocated references to}

_files

_{in the disk directory track}

area,

sorts

the

_existing

_files

_in

ascending or descending alpha order and

files

displaying byte

_for

byte match and _difference.

CPSEL _{Selects one of two consoles} and _{one of}

_{four printers}

_{known to}

system. Line and _{page length,} and _{whether forrrt-feeds are} used _{are selected.}

specified

files,

optionally

creating a

file

of the values. Useful _to make _sure

files

are identical,

DIR _{Sorted current or declared directory}

_files

_{with sizes} and _{disk space}

0

used and _{remaining are displayed on console with}

_this

command.

DFA _Display

_file

_attributes:

_{read-only, read-write, archive,} wheel _byte

write-protected, etc. Wild card

_file

declaration permitted.

ELSE The ELSE command

_is

_FCP-resident and _{toggles the} Flow _State.

_If

_the

current IF condition

_is

TRUE, ELSE _toggles

_it

_to FALSE, and _vice-versa.

ERA The ERA

_utility

_is

_{used to remove}

_{(de-allocate)}

_files

_{from disks.}

It

is

resident

_in

either the RCP _segment

or in the ZCPR3 CCP _module.

ERASE The ERASE

_utility

_is

_{the transient counterpart of} ERA.

_It

_is

much more powerful than ERA, _{containim many more options} and _features.

ERRORn One _{of four error handlers may} be _dynamically

_installed

by _entering

their

command _name. ERROR2

is

screen oriented. Recover front a non-executable command

_is

_{handled gracefully.}

ERRORX _The

current error handler

is

disengaged with

this

command.

FI FI

_is

an FCP-resident command which terminates the current IF. FI

is

the same as ENDIF _{in concept (there}

_is

no ENDIF command _in Z _System).

HELP The HELP command _provides

_full

_{oMine documentation. Typiñ9} HELP ZCPR3 _or ZRDOSI _brings a menu of commands _{to peruse, covering}

_all

_{aspects of} Z

System _operation. ZCPR3: The Manual

_is

used

_for

_further command _information.

IF IF

_is

an FCP-resident command _{which tests} a condition and sets the Flow Control State to True _{or False.}

_If

_the Flow _{Control State is False, only}

FCP-resident commands _{are executed with}

_all

_other commands _skipped.

MKDIR Named _{directories are created with} MKDIR. Any _{Disk or} User Area can be _given an

_{up-to-eight-character}

name. An _{access password}

_{is optionally}

permitted with each named _directory.

MCOPY MCOPY _copies

files

to and _{from directories.}

_It

_provides an easy way

to back-up

_files.

(CP _{from an} RCP _{also copies and optionally renames}

files.)

All

programs and

_utilities

_provided

_in

_the ZCPR3 _{System are} used

_in

conjunction with Z3—Dot—Com. The _{more important ones are}

_briefly

_described

here, but the

_online

HELP

_facility

_gives

_full

_details

_{on these} and

_all

remaining.

_After

the Z3 _system

_{is installed}

_put HELP.COM and _the HLP

_files

_on

the current disk and _type HELP ZCPR3

_for

_the

_full

_{help menu. Immediate syntax}

help

_is

given by _typing <command>

_//,

where _{assist information is appropriate.}

ALIAS The ALIAS

_utility

_is

used _{to create an Alias}

_file

and _{to display}

_its

contents. An _Alias

_is

_{essentially a text}

_script,

expanded and _{resolved (with}

parameter passing) when _{the Alias program}

_is

_run. Very _complex command _lines,

complete with Flow Control (IF), can be included

within

an Alias.

CD _The CD _{command permits going from}

one directory to another, simul-taneously running an environmental

_file

(ST.COM) _to

_establish

_{the desired}

conditions in

a

_directory

_area. CD

may require a password to move _to a new

directory.

CLEANDIR Removes

_all

_{deallocated references to}

_files

_in

_{the disk}

_directory

track

area,

_sorts

the

_existing

_files

_in

ascending _{or descending} alpha order

and packs _the names together. Used _{of'ten nearly guarantees successful} UNERASE. CPSEL _Selects one of _{two consoles} and one of

_{four printers}

known _to

system. Line and page lerigth, and _{whether form-feeds are} used _{are selected.}

CRC _Runs

a

Cyclic

Redundancy Check on

specified

files,

optionally

creating a

file

of the values. Useful to make _sure

_files

_{are identical.}

DIR _{Current or declared directory}

_files

_with

_file

_sizes and _disk space used and _{remaining are displayed on the console with}

_this

command.

ELSE The ELSE command

_is

_FCP-resident and _{toggles the} Flow _State.

_If

_the

0

ERAcurrent conditionThe ERA

is

TRUE, ELSE toggles

it

to FALSE, and vice-versa.

utility

is

used to remove

(de-allocate)

_files

from disks.

It

is

resident

_in

either the RCP

or in the ZCPR3 CP.

ERASE The ERASE

_utility

_is

_{the transient counterpart of} ERA.

_It

_is much more powerful than ERA, _{containiñ9 many more options} and _features.

ERRORn One _{of four error handlers may} be _dynamically

_installed

by _entering

their

command name. ERROR2

is

screen oriented. Recover from a non-executable command

_is

_{handled gracefully.}

ERRORX The _{current error handler}

_is

_{disengaged with}

_this

command.

FI FI

_is

an FCP-resident command _{which terminates the current IF. FI}

is

the same as ENDIF

_in

_{concept (there}

_is

no ENDIF commµíd

_in

ZCPR3).

HELP The HELP command _provides

_full

_{online documentation. Typing} HELP ZCPR3 _{brings a menu of} commands _{to peruse, covering}

_all

_{aspects of} ZCPR3 System _operation. ZCPR3: The Manual

_is

used

_for

_further command _information.

IF IF

_is

an FCP-resident command _{which tests} a condition and sets the Flow Control State to True _{or False.}

_If

_the Flow _{Control State}

_is

_{False, only}

FCP-resident commands _{are executed} and

_all

_other commands _{are skipped.}

MKDIR Named

_directories

_{are created with} MKDIR. Any _{Disk or} User Area can be _{given an}

_{up-to-eight-character}

_name. An _{access password}

_{is optionally}

permitted with each named _directory.

MCOPY MCOPY _copies

files

to and _{from directories.}

It

provides an easy way

to back-up

_files.

(CP _{from an} RCP _{also copies and optionally renames}

_files.)
