Compile It or Ass8111ble It?
I'm going to use this forum to make public a llffle
pr ivate debate that many of you might not only find
Interestin g , but be stirred to respond to. (I know.
W i nston Cfiurchlll said once that a preposition Is
something you should n....ar end a sentence with.) Before
I get to the heart of the matter, I have to give you a
llftle background. A couple years ago, I wrote a boOk on
progremmlng In Pascal. As one of the chapters, I wanted
t o tac kle a non-trivial program as en example of
something more c0111p lex then a "sey hello" program . I
ended up writing e text formetter thet woul<f accept
text wl th embedded commends end produce e nice output
w l th f e e t u r e s such es centering of titles, right
j ustlflcetlon of short lines, fill end justlflcetlon of
peregrephs, etc.
The example program worked out reasonably well end
the book was publ rshed with version 9 or so o '( the
program. I kept adding features to It, end It ended up
recently at version 17. When I got Involved In the PL/9
lanpuage, I decided that It would be shorter end fester
If trensleted It to PL/9. As a side benefit, It would
be a good way to learn the lntrlcesles of PL/9 end to
f I n d a b u g or t w o I f they were to be found. The
translation was ecconpllshed and the output code wes
ebout helf as lerge es the orlg(nel. It ran s....aral times
fester then the original P-code Pescel Yerslon.
At that point I decided to Implement some of the fency
feetures of the Epson MX-80 with Graftrex end I edded
the cepeblllty of switching print modes wlt�ln a line. I
decided to see If South East Medle would want to market
l t . I also decided to send three copies to various
people for c0111m ents. I had been workIng with Den
Farnsworth of Pal111 Beech Softwere, testing his SPELLS
<sold by s. E. MEDIA, see ed this Issue} end music
software, end I had reellv ripped up some of the music
complier to add the cep eb lllty of loudness control. I
flgured I owed Den a chance to be critical of somet"hlng
of m i n e , e n d he c e r t a i n l y was. The result of my
Implementing his suggestions (a dozen or sol was a
greetly lmprc:Ned text lormetter. One of his suggestions
removed a n awkward wey of breaking the 1111 mo<fe et the
end of a paragraph, that had ....an frlpped me up once In
e while.
Pet l ence. the plot Is thickening rapidly. I had
written the f'ormetter es an example of a Pascal program.
When I rewrote It In PL/9 It was reduced to ebout <SK of
object file. I wes quite pleased with Its sfeed· It will
dump formatted text to a CRT about as fes as the LIST
c0111mend does. It cen certelnly keep up with most dot
matrix printers end specleltv "daisy wheel" tvDes. One
of Den's comments was something like "Now thet you have
gone to ell the trouble of w rl trng this, why not code It
Tn A s sembler?" T h a t hit e nerve somewhere In my
constitution, end a friendly debate sterted. I allowed
a s how 4K w e s c e r t a i n l y smell enough for a text
formetter, end that It wes certelnly edequetelv fest.
The hi g h level lenguege source Is eesler to maintain,
takes Jess time to list, etc. In feet, front ll'!f first use
of Asselllbler, I had been looking forwerd to the dey when
co11p llers becl!lllllt capable enough end efficient enough so
thet I wouldn't h....a to write esselllbler code any110re. I
certeI nly got enough practice at Assembler for a couple
of years before sucti a complier appeared.
Den's reply to that was SOIIIethln g like "You still don't
understand how I program In Asselllb ler." My reply to hlln
w a s " I u nde rs tencfg u l t e w e l l how y o u progra111 I n
assembler , but you don t understand how the rest of us
program I n a s s e111b lerl" so- folks ere by nature
organized. Sollie get things done. Usually pt!<>ple who fell
I nto the extre111 e of one of those categories don't fit
the other et ell. I clesslfy myself as e doer who Is
almost OOIIIP ietely disorganized. Den Is en exception. He
Is well orgenlzed AND he gets thii!Qs done. Den, O't'er the
years , hes developed e set of ST ANDARD subroutines for
doing :J ust about e�hlng. He cleiiiiS (and I don't doubt>
thef Fie cen put to�tller a 400 line Assembler program
end heve It running I n a couple hours <that's about 8
pages of source>.
10
I don't doubt Den's claim for en lnstent (for DAN, that
Is). Mv problem Is one of discipline. Every time I used a
"stenderd" subroutine, I would went to change It to fit
the present eppllcetlon exectly. (I know thef for e fact
beceuse I'lie been there>. Well the discussion didn't end
there, and hesn't as of th (s writing. I reellze that
there ere areas where Assembler should be used, but 1
m e l n t a l n that those ereas ere getting smeller es
compliers bec0111e more efficient. Den has written e
business software peckege ell In assembler with standard
s u b r o u t i n e s for metfi and formattin g of numerlcel
output. It beets the pents off of enythln� written In
BAS IC In the wey of en accounting system. The programs
ere short so you don't spend ell dey waiting for enother
program to load to do enother function. This seems to
me fo be II very cgood example of II cese where Assembler
reelly makes a drfference. Of course If you have a herd
d l sk t h e loed t i m e for a BASIC p r o grem Is not
t
objecTionable, but I'm talking ebout SMALL computers.
"C" was developed es a system progremmlng language,
thet Is one In which a progremmer could Implement en
operetlng s,ystem. In fact the femous UNIX"' Is written In
"C ". The designers" of "C" must have known whet they
were doing beceuse benchmarks coded In "C" elweys seem
to run fest. The "C" conp llers end up at the top of the
speed list. A look at the output code of e goo d "C"
complier (that Is the essembler source code>, or at the
d I sessembled obJect code of the PL/9 compller would
convl nee most any good Assembler programmer the f he Is
not going to be abre to do MUCH better. While I'll egree
that there mey be e factor of two to four possible In
going to Assembler, It Is not the 50 or 100 factor that
exIsted e few yeers e9Q• I was able to code the Prime
benchmerk (the one In 8YTEl In assembler so It runs In
ebout .3.:5 seconds on a 2 MHZ 6809. Two "C" conpllers
end PL/9 ran It In 10 10, end 12 seconds respectlwly.
That Is only e fector of ._
.) or :5 1/2 for those compliers.
There ere those who cry "but look et how meny bytes of
object code you generated." With our 64K 111e1110rles
eve liable for eround $.300, I wonder If that Is e valid
obj ectlon. That text formatter mentioned eboYe Is 4K
I n PL/9. In essembler It might be 2K or possibly J.5K.
Does It reelly metter? The text file Is read fron e disk
and processed a II ne at e time. There Is no need to
buffer the whole text In lllei iiO • In most of our systems
r"f
we don't hiiYe multi tasking end multiple users. For most
of us, progremmlng 15 pe�s of PU9 or "C" Is every much
smeller J ob then wrltrng 60 pages of Assemblerl Another
progremmer cen reed and understend our high level code
mucfi more quickly then he can understand our Assembler
code. A "C" programmer can progrem e Z-80 a DEC POP­
II, a 6809, e 65"0 2 + or whetever. A 680!$ Assembler
p rogremmlng exper can only progrem e 6809. Of course
he cen learn to program those others In reesoneble tlme1
just as I can leern to run a new editor or a differenT
operetlng system.
Well, that's my side of the ergument. I'll send a copy
of this to Den Farnsworth end let him write a rebuttel.
I'd sure like to know whet you reeders think. Whet
eppllcetlons demand Assembler programs, end where are
h igh level language programs better. <You can reed
b etter as more econonlcel, more maintainable, porteble,
or any wey you like>.

'68' Micro Joumal
scientific functions package that I 'had written In
Poscol some time ag o, end recenttv upgraded thanks to
the efforts of Motf Scudlere In '68' In the Aorll Issue.
I've recently been workIn g on the PL9 version of that
p ackage In cOOP.eratlon wltn the folks at Wlndrush, so I
had the PL9 wrslon to start with.
Generally when I try out o new language I first get o
feel for o few simple programs. I tnougn� In this case,
that I wos post that J>9lnl. The next step Is to try to
translate something significant from another language,
a n d 1 set off to do l ust that with the scientific
functions. I+( first aftempt ot a test program end the

must be In parentheses. Oops, still an error, undefined
symbol "then". Ah so C doesn't wont the word then. It
e x pects only "If <'condftlonl statement;". Well, that one
went away, and when I put the parentheses Into oil the
other "If" statements end deleted the "then", most of
the errors dlsoppeored.
1 had another peculiar error that pointed out a
difference between C and most of the others <I hod
foraotten this onel Not equal In C Is represented by
"l• or rather than the more common "<>"· Again, when the
error message told me that there wos an error on that
line, It was ol)vlous.
I still had one very stubborn error In 'hlo p laces In
the pro g ram. I had remembered to declare Iff'/ functions
"float sln(anglel etc., and thought that was all I hod to
do to Insure return of a float value from the function.
A careful reading of Kernighan end Ritchie (at 1::50 AMl
1 ndlcated that I have to declare the function In the
calling p rogram too, ri ght along with the local vorloble
declarations. "float angfe, number, sinO, cos<>;" seemed
to take care of those last complier trapped errors.
NOTE : I l a t e r f o u n d out t h a t those function
declarations ore ontv necessary If the function coli Is o
"forward reference�<,. sort of analog ous to the FORWARD
c oli In Poscol. Tnot means that calls to library
functions don't need the function declorotlons since Cor
l f l the #Include for the library file Is before the maln<l
function In the C program.
Now to run the thing. Gee, It actually ran, with onlv
one problem. I put In 45 degrees as the angle, and It
returned 0.0 00000 for the sine and 0.000000 for the
cosine.
Well, after a couple hours next morning <Saturd ay) of
adding print statements and recompiling, I f ound the
error of errors for neophyte C progronner s. Of course
I knew betterl Only with the evidence pointing et one or
two lines did the p roblem become obvious. Actually,
there ere two proble111s . They reinforce each other.
The first Is the "uncommon" use of "••" for an equoll "tv
test. The second Is the "understood" 1•0 <te. not equal
Ol thet Is built Into a test. You can get away with such
t hin g s as "do <statement> while <counl--l;". The "while"
condl tlon tests for the value of the argument end
a n yt hing BUT 0 Is c o n s i d e r e d TRUE. There /ore,
l n ltlollzlng en Integer "count" to 10 will make that loop
run 11 t l111es. <The trailing -- causes the value to be
decremented AFTER the test, so the loop runs for count
•aO as well as 10 through 1. l
Now put that little feature Cwhlch I like a great deal
because It allows shortcuts In progr-lngrtogether
with the •• feature and you get disaster. I had
I n t ended to t e s t my varfable "eng le" In the "sin"
function, and return the value 0 If the angle Is o.
There Is no use going through ell the celculetlons to get
appr oximately zero when exactly zero Is known to be the
answer. Well, I ended up with the following:
If <engle • 0.0) return O.O;
/*continued calculation of sine •;
Do .,.ou see the dlsester? Since C ellows on assig nment
statement within the condition. I uncondltlono l lv set
an g le • 0.0. "If <angle • O.Ol Is olw� s FALSE BECAUSE IT
FOR CES angle 0 ond of course 0 Is FALSE. Naturally
the function didn't "return o.O" because the condition
•
w a s false. It DID set an g l e t o 0 , so t h e following
c a l c u lation of the sine of the angle DID return o.
ChangIng the <angle • O.Ol to (angle •• 0.0) chang ed an
unwanted as s l g n11ent statement to the lntendecfTEST,
and suddenly sl n returned an answer (of course It wos
I ncorrectl. I found a s l���pl e and unrelated error that I
corrected easily to fix that problelll.
'68' Mlcro Journal
I've ordered "The C Primer", reviewed by Norm Conwno In
the July '68' Micro Journal. Perheps a more organized
and step by step epproach will make learning C o 6ft less
o chore. I managed to �t o square root function going
after some consl deral51e trouble on Saturday morning
after finding the problem with sin end cos. <The cos
function sim p ly adds Pl/2 to the angle and calls the sin
function). The sqr function Involves repeating on
approximation calculation, each time getting a more
accurate answer, untII the dl fference between two
successive answers Is S�MIIer then SOlie limit. Since the
two numbers bein g compared get closer together with
each pass through the calculation, but either may be
larger then the other, a n absolute value function Is
needed. No problem, t h o u g h t I Just use "while
<abs<<result - guessl/resultl > 1.Oe·-6f" to keep the loop
going until the error Is smell enough.
Oops agoIn.. obs Is o defined function but It Is an
Integer function. Now oil I had to do Is de / lne obsf as a
function that returns a float, ond declere It In "sqr" as
1 I n d i c a t e d ebove. That worked fine too ebout 8
complies later after I had found and fixed all Iff'/ little
errors.
T h a t o n e d o w n , I edded the "otn" function
(arctangent). By now I had mode most of t h e eas
mistakes, ond so didn't foil Into arry serious trap s. y

That Just about sums up the commands avallabl e

on the BT-1. Now, let's discuss some aspects of the
op eratlon of the board.

The BT -1 Is addressed at SE380 as shlpped and

occupies 4 bytes of address space. It may be moved to
any desired address and supports extended addressing.

Communication with the BT-1 Is via 2 ports, the

first of which Is e data register and the second a status
register. Data Is sent to or received from the data
register and busy or data ready handshaking Is done by
reading or writing to the status register.

T h e Elec tro S c r e e n operates with 11 6809

processor on board and 3 2 K of dlsplay memory, 11 2 K
scratch pad RAM, 6 K of EPROM firmware, and 2 more
sockets for additional user defined character sets or
user programs.

You may down load your own programs to the

board end use It as 11 parallel processor If desired. The
display Is controlled by the "old reliable" 6845 CRT
controller. This allows much f l e x i b i l i t y I n m a k i n g
changes to the display format under software control.
For example, I mentioned that with a short persistence
monitor there WIIS some flicker on the display, this can
be eliminated by a poke to the control registers of the
6845 which changes the display format to two pages of
24 lines and 83 characters per line. There Is no scan
Interlace In this mode and It gives a perfectly flicker
free display on any standard monitor.

I have spent mony hours progrommlng the BT-l

ond I find It very rewording to work with. The high level
commends ovallable moke It eosy to progrom complex
potterns. I recently modified o program w h i c h wos
written for the "APPLE" computer to run on this boord.
As I entered the progrom I suddenly reo II zed thot 14
lines of complex code were used Just to plot coordinate
exes on the screen. It only took 1 simple line to do the
same thing on the BT-l.

Another Interest of mine Is dlsploylng video

lmoges vlo computer. I set out to write o pr ogrom which
could dlsploy pic tures on ffle screen. The result wos o
boslc progrom which orronged ffle screen Into 128 by
120 pixels eoch consisting of 16 lndlvlduol dots which
could be turned on or off to simulate 16 levels of grey.
The results were quite satisfying. I have Included o
somple of this dlsploy as well liS some offler groph lcs
dlsploys hoping Don will find room to lnckJde fflem wlffl
ffle review.

Still onother use I hove found for the BT-I

time. I hove o need to meosure the temperature of o

I have only one minor complolnt. The SET CURSOR

keep It In mind but Is a minor Irritation. Maybe ttlls will
be fixed In loter versions of ttle flrm111ore. One other
suggestion might be to Include a command to set one

NEW COPY UTILITY
A NEW �y UTILITY FOR FLEX 1,2 ond 9
By: Leo Teylor
Bruno Pug If a
109 Twin Brook Rd.
Hlll!lden , Conn. 06514
GETIING STARTED
COPY can be run by any FLEX user without reading this
m a n u a l . How can such a claim be possible? COPY I s
compotlble with the c0111111and syntax of the copy program
supplied with FLEX, thus If you con use FLEX you can use
this program. You are urged to ossemble the source
progrom provided ond starl using COPY ewn before you
reoa past this page of the monual. Though you will be
using only a port of COPY's capability you will hiiVe many
h i d den a d v a n t a g e s s u c h a s error c h e c k i n g
alphabetizing, ond date retention. When you hiiVe time fo
read the remaInder of this manual you will learn how to
use the many options supported by COPY.
ASSE� ING THE SOURCE
COPY Is provided as e source file that can be assembled
by the FLEX assembler for 6800 or 6809 processors. The
only change that need be made for CPU Is one character
In the line:
FLEX EQU SAOOO
Locate thIs II ne using your favorite editor and confinn
t h a t I t motches the FLEX you are using. The FLEX
starting address should be SAOOO for 6800 or SCOOO for
6809. Note only ONE CHARACTER need be ch11nged, you do
not need to do a global change of a lot of addresses.
This I s the only cf\ange that 11ust be made, there are
optional chonges that will be e x plained later. COPY can
now be asseMbled and the o bj ect should b e na�ned
COPY.CMO. You may want to retain your old COJ>r program
under a dl fferent n�����e (such as COPYOLO) untl you gain
confl dence In the new rogram. It won't be long before
you are convinced tha f thls program can do everything
the old copy program can.
INITIAL SURPRISES
COPY will accept commands In the sa111e format as the
original copy, but you will l������edlately notice differences
In liow the p rogro111 perfonns. There will be changes In
tl�nlng, such as pauses when sorting the directory and
half as Many head loads per file copled. You will notice
flies are copied In alphabetical order. The original
creation date of the file being copied will be used for
the destination file. If your dlsl<.s hiiVe bad flies you may
get so111e unfaMiliar error messages. COPY has a lot of
error checking which will uncover problems you may not be
awere of, The most COIIInIIIO error Is:
18
BAD DATE: FILENAME.EXT SIZE DATE
ALLOW BAD DATES CY/N>?
Later In the manuel there will be a section on correcting
� for now you can overt de the bad date bY
f lie dote
pressing ''T" when the prompt appears.
TERMINOLOGY
Throughout this manual these terms 111111 be used often:
COPY the new program
OLD COPY the program provided with FLEX
f1?�RCE the fife being copied from <any type of
DESTINATION the file being written to
OPTION LETTERS command nne letters used to enable
e>ptlons
MATCH LIST list of st11rtlng characters (s- below)
It will be assumed that you are famlll11r with the syntox
of the copy command provided with FLEX. All FLEX users
know that the old copy program supports a match s'trlng
II st for copying multiple files that match the let-ters In
the list. The command:
COPY 0 l AB X .CM
y from drive zero to drive one all flies that start
will ce>p
with "AS" or "X" or hiiVe ex-tensions that start with ''CM".
This Is the most common syntax you will use with COPY.
Many FLEX users do not know that the old copy progrom
supports o useful syn'tax for copying a single Hie. lfyou
want to copy J ust the file "P . CHO" w ltllout Including
other command flies starting wl'th "P" you wlll flnd a
match list copy unsuitable. The conwnond:
COPY J,p.(M) 2
will copy ONLY ONE FILE from drive one to drive two. A
v11rlatlon of this single file copy Is used to copy one file
and change the name:
COPY O.FLEX2.SYS I.FLEXNEW.SYS
In entering any COPY command either a comma or a space
can be used to separate parameters.
OPTION LEITERS
There are over a dozen option letters supported In COPY
which makes It very powerful and a blt overwhellnlng. It Is
Important to know that you do not need to understand oil
of the options to use COPY effectively; In fact there are
some options you may not WANT to use. If you can't
remember the letter for the �tlon you n-d you can type
"COPY" without ony poramefers and the program will
d i s pla y o HELP l i s t of option letters wlth a short
explanation of each. Option letters ore Included on the
command line after the 1110rd COPY and before any drive
number or file name:
COPY LON 0,1 A.TXT
A ny number of letters may be used In a!l Y order. If an
un mpllmented letter Is used COPY will display the HELP
list of options. Op'tlons are posl"tlve; "that Is using the
letter w ill enable the option. This contrasts with "the
confusion of the FLEX assembler which hos s0111e negotiY&
options. You n,ay recall that assembler options� means
YES Include line numbers but NO do not Include s�l
t a b l e Much of the confusion with this otherwise
excellent asse11bler I s due to the ambiguous method of
•
h a n d l i n g o p t i o n letters. It was decided to avoid
aMbiguity by having all option letters enable the desired
option. If a letter Is accidently used twice the option
Is still enobled.
O£FAULT OPTIONS
COPY has default options which will take effect whenewr
there are no opt ion le-tters on the COI'IIIa II nd line. The
most com111 0 n default option will be "A" which enables
sorting of the source direc-tory before flies are c:opled.
COPY has provisions for changing the default options In
the asseMbler source pr99ram for those users who want
other options defaulted. For ex�����p le one could default
only option "U" and COPY will 8IM.Ifate the old copY. by using
the current FLEX date on the destlnotlon file. If the
user mus't chonge 'the default options there Is a table
near the start of COPY which contains the default option
by-tes. Each bvte Is FCB 0 If the c:>ptlon Is not defaulted
and FCB 1 If It Is defaulted. If the user needs to Yerlfy
'68' Micro Joumal
w h l c h o p t i o n s ere defaulted, typing COPY without
parameters will display an example followed by all the
options. The defaulted options will be marked with ''YES":
Example: COPY ADNL 0,1 .CK) A
YES A copy In Alphabetical order
NO C allow Corrupt flies to be copied
NO 0 copy flies with newer Date
NO E delete Existing destination file
NO F cop y by File number (alpha not allowed>
NO K Kill dup licate file on source
NO L List flies without copying
NO N copy files Not on destlnetlon
NO 0 turn Off defaults
NO P Prompt before copying file
NO R Rec011er from track-sector
NO S mekes Second copy of file < .CPY ext)
NO U Use current FLEX date
NO W Walt for dl sk change
NO Z Zap source flie affer copy! ng
EXPLANATIONS Of' OPTION LETTERS
A COPY IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
The "A" option enables a sort subroutine that will
elp ha betlze the source directory before flies are
selected to be copied. Most users will have this es a
d e f e u l t o p tio n s o t h e flies will b e I n order when
cateloged. If you enter eny optIon on the command IIne all
defeurts are turned off. If option "A" was defaulted and
you want to alphebetlze you must add "A" to the options
you enter.
C ALLOW CORRUPT FILES TO BE COPIED
The "C" option will enable you t o copy a file thet Is
damaged by a CRC error or record sequence error. This
Is a slightly dangerous option which should only be used
If you don't have en elternate copy of a file.
D COPY FILES WITH A NEWER DATE
The "D" op tion will find flies that ere on both disks end
compare their creation dates. If the source file Is
newer It will be copied a s a replacement for the older
destination file.
E DELETE EXISTING DESTINATION FILE
The "E" QP.tlon Is used when you want to replace e file on
t h e destination disk. Thrs option will suppress the
p rom p t for whether you wish to delete the existing file.
It will often be used along with "D" to updete a disk with
newer versIons of programs.
F COPY BY FILE NlJotBER
The "F" opt I on chan g es copY's parameters from a match
string list to a II sf of file numbers. Follow the drive
numbers with a list of file numbers for those flies that
you want to copy. File numbers can be found with a
utility such as DIR.CM:>. A group of flies can be specified
as e starting end endin g number separated bye dash.
The command "CCPY F 0,1 5 13-18 9" will copy file five , flies
thirteen through eighteen, and file nine.
K KILL DUPLICATE FILE ON SOURCE
The "K" option Is VERY dangerous. This command Isn't
really e copy, rather It uses the directorY. com p ere
rout i nes to delete files from the source disk that
appeer on the destination. This allows you to clear off
extra copies of progr8111s not needed on the source disk.
It operates very fest and will clear off e number of flies
faster then you can hit reset. As with all dangerous
options It Is protected with an "ARE YOU SURE" prompt.
"COPY K 1,0" Is most effective In klllln� flies on drive I
when they exist on drive o. "COPY KD 1 ,0 will kill the file
_
on drive 1 when It Is older than the rile on drive o. Use
COPY KDL 1,0 to preview what files will be deleted.
L LIST WITHOUT COPYING
The "L" option disables the file copy subroutine. This Is
used to display a list of files thet WOULD have been
co p ied If you hadn't used option "L"· This can be used
with other options to checlt disks for duplicate files,
newer dates, bad files, etc.
N COPY FILES NOT ON DESTINATION
The "N" op tion Is used to copy the flies on the source
disk that are not already on the destination disk. This
'68' Micfo Journal
cen be used to add all new' flies to a backup disk.
0 TURN Of'F DEFAULT OPTIONS
The "O" option Is a dummy character used to turn off all
default options If you do not went any opti ons. If used
with eny other option letters It has no effect.
P PROMPT BEFORE COPYING
The "P" option enables this prompt: "Prompt off <P>:FLEX
<F>:copy <Y/Nl?". You should respond with ''P" If you went
to continue cop"lng without the frompt or "F" to return
t o FL E X o r "Y to copy this lie. "N" or any other
character will skip to the next file. This Is useful for
scannIng throu g h a dIsk c o p yIng only certal n flies.
Another use Is skipping down to a certain file on a disk
end copying all flies after that.
R RECOVER FRC»1 TRACK-SECTOR
The "R" option Is used to read a file without using the
directory. If the directory of a disk has been destroyed
but the user knows the the file's starting address, the
f II e c a n be recovered. The commend "COPY R I 2B 5
o.NEWFILE" will read from drive I, track S2B, sector 5
until encountering an end of file or a record out of
sequence. The wrlfe file extension will default to .sCR.
A second use for this option Is to recover a deleted
file. The first sector of a deleted file can be found with
the new CAT .CK>. If the file lies not been over-written,
COPY c a n r e c o v e r l t . R e c o r d sequence checking
eliminates the restriction that the file be the lest file
deleted. Provision wes made to start copying In the
middle of a file. This I s a somewhat dangerous option
s I nee I t a l l o w s the user to over Ide the FLEX File
Menager. The cOII'In IM d must be typed as shown with three
numbers and a file name. No other options should be used
with "R".
S MAKE SECOND COPY Of A FILE
The "S" o p tion Is used when you want two copies of a file
t o be written. The second copy will have the same name
as the first with the extension of ".CPY". This Is useful
when sending a rrogr8111 to It friend whose drive may have
difficulty read ng your disks. By sending two copies
there Is a much 11 I gher chance that the f lie will be
readable.
U USE CURRENT FLEX DATE
The ''U" o
ption Is used when you went the destination file
t o have the p resent FLEX dete rather than the date of
the source file being copied. This m� be useful If you
know the source file has an erroneous date.
W WAIT FOR DISK CHANGE
The "W" option elhnl nates the need to copy COPY .CM) onto
the source disk so that you mtry remove your system disk
t o Insert the destination disk. When "W" Is used on the
command line COPY will w a l t for a key to be pressed
before accessing any directories.
Z ZAP SOURCE FILE AFTER COPYING
The "Z" option Is somewhat dangerous. It Is used to
delete the file from the source disk after It Is co pied.
Essentially the file Is moved from one disk to the other.
EXAMPLES
Often options can be comb I ned to perform tasks that
p r e v i o u sly were Impossible or required a separate
command utility. Some ex8111ples:
COPY C O.BAD.TXT I Copi es one fi lo that ha a CR C
error, Including whatever data I s readable from s the bad
sector. Replaces the utility RAWCOPY.CM>.
COPY ON 0,I Updates the destination with all flies from
the source thet are not on the destination or have
a n o l d e r d a t e o n t h e destination. Replaces the
utilities COPYNEW and ARCHIVE.
COPY EZ Q.P.CMO 2 Moves file P.CMO from source to
destination no matter what. Replaces the utility MV.CM>.
COPY F 2 0 1-16 Useful for copying fr-om one large
COPY F 2,{ 17-52 drive to smaller ones. Copies 16 flies
t o drive zero and the remainder to drive one. This Is
VERY difficult to accomplish with the old copy.
COPY KD 1,0 Kill the file on drive I when It Is
older than the file on drive o.
19
COPY LNA 2,1 Alphobetlcollv lists those flies on
the source that ore not on the destlnotlon. Reploces
the utility OlP.CM) end Is much foster.
COPY P 0,1 Pr�t before eoch file Is copied to
ollow user to select which flies ore desired. Reploces
the utility PCOPY.
COPY R 2 4 6 I.Foo Rec<Mtr o file on drive 2 thot does
not oppeor In the directory. Reeding will begin ot trock
4 se c tor 6 ond t h e Hie will be written to drive
I w i t h t h e nome F O O . S C R . Reploces the utility
RECOVER.CM).
COPY W 0 I .CMO After COPY Is looded the user Is
prompted' w lth "Chonge disk-press kev". The system disk
moy be r811101d
118 end onother dl sk Inserted.
DANGEROUS OPTIONS
A few option letters enoble dongerous functions such os
killing the orlglnol file on tfie source drive. These
options should only be used by on "Experienced Copier"
end ore protected with this prompt:
dongerous option selected
ore you sure <Y /N)?
If you occ dently stumble on o dongerous option tvP.e "N"
end you 111lI be returned to FLEX. �lth proper use these
options con be quite useful.
ERROR DETECTION
COPY hos mony error checks thot ore not found In other
FLEX utilities. Mony FLEX users hove found thot disk
proble•s often surfoce when using the old copy often
with disastrous results. One error COPY trops (s flies
with o size of zero sectors. These flies usuolly result
from pressing reset while doing file operotlons. Novice
FLEX users do not reollze thot If they reboot FLEX otter
obortlng with reset o defective file ls left on the disk.
When o pro g ram like the TSC EOIT.CI«> opens o file, FLEX
creotes o directory entry with zero sectors. If the
progrom Is oborted with reset or the disk Is r81110Y6d
the zero sector file remolns In the directory . Later,
when the disk Is copied, the defective file will result In
the entire free spoce of the disk being copied. This
COP.Y. "runowoy" results In the destlnotlon disk being
Intersect with onother file. A third error solved
�
cloobered. Another problelll which Is elhnlnoted with COPT
results fr0111 o bad link In the source file cousln lt to
COPY
Is a bod link on the destlnotlon disk couslng the lie to
overwrite the directory. A tl���e westing error In the old
copy wos It would try to copy o file tllot wouldn't fit In
the ovoiloble spoce on the disk. COPY will catch this
error end report "file will not fit".
COPY hos severo! of the common FLEX error messoges built
l n . These were Included since mony users of fwo drl��e
s stems will need to remove their system disk to copy
f rles. This results In FLEX reporting errors by number
s Inee the file ERROOS.SYS will not be found on the system
drive. Also for convenience the drive ossocloted with
the error Is reported olong with the offending trock end
sector. This ls useful ror such errors os CRC which
could occur on either the source or destlnotlon drl��e,
end In the file or the directory.
It Is hnpor:tont to reollze thot If you get on error while
writing o file to the destlnotlon disk fhe new file 11oy be
defective. The file moy oppeor In the directory but
usuolly It Is Incomplete.
The most co11mon error messoge rep orted by users of
COPY Is "DATE BAD"· This occurs when the user does not
enter o volld dote when FLEX Is booted or by follure of o
hordwore clock when used for setting the FLEX dote.
COPY will check the dote on ell flies when It reeds the
d i s k d i r e c t o r y end r e p o r t ony d o t e s outside o
reosonoble ronge. ThIs reduces the chonce thot o bod
dote will be possed on to the new file. There ore two
olternotlves when the "BAD DATE" 111essoge oppeors. You
con onswer "Y" Indicating thot � opprOYe of bod dotes
or onswer "N" end not c opy _the file. After returning to
FLEX you can re-enter COPY using option "U" which will
oss I gn the current FLEX dote to tfie file or use the new
DATE c0111n 110 d to set the file dote to the dey the file wos
ude.
SPEED
�
COPY wos not written with the Intention of s eedlng up
file dupllcotlon. FLEX write speed Is Inherent slow end
con not be l11proved wIthout devl otIon fr011 he norul
FMS operation. On the overage, COPY Is eo���p�eble In
20
speed To Tne 010 copy. A few operations ore taster such
o s motch list seorchlng end copying short flies. A few
operotlons ore slower such as reeding the directories.
As with the o ld copy It Is foster to dO o single file copy
t h e n o motch str ng copy with only one motch. For
exomple use "COPY o.O IR.CMO 2" rother then �Y 0,2
0 IR"· The sorting overheod will be reduced as tllne
posses since more of your disks will be sorted. The sort
chosen for COPY Is optimized for directories thot ore
s o rted e x c e p t for o f e w n e w f l i e s o t t h e end.
Exomlnotlon of this toble will show thot for most coses
the differences In speed between COPY end old copy ore
negligible.

ME�Y USAGE
COPY Is severo! times lon g er then the old copy but
requi res less disk spoce then the sum of the utilities
COPY elltnlnotes <see the ext���le�p s). COPY uses 4-5K bytes
of memory stortlng In bose poge for vorlobles program,
messages, end file control blocks. The dl recf orles are
loode<f Into memory otter the FC8s end require 16 bytes
per file. This p uts o ll111lt on the 11oxlmum number of flies
ot 1600 for 68 00 or 2600 for o full size 6B09 system.
This should not be o ll11ltotlon for most FLEX users. The
remolnlng user memory (less saoo bytes reserved for
EXEC> Is uSed os o buffer for the file being copied.
NON-STANDARD FLEX ROUTINES
Conslderoble core wos mode to determine thot COPY would
work on ell FLEX sv.stems. All occesses to the disks were
m o d e t h r o u g h t h e File M o n o g e r System t o avoid
co111 p otlblllty problems with user written disk driWtrs.
Still, It wos necessory to use o few tricks In order to
moke the program more useful. The FMS does not provide
o meons for del'ermlnlng If o disk Is protected or eWtn If
I t exists without ottemptlng to �trite on lt. This Is the
FIRST thing e progro11 should do so the user doesn't
woste time answerlng prompts onlv to find the rogr0111
oborts loter. COPY reeds the s rR (sector J f orthe
destlnotlon disk then dupllcotes It on sector 4. This Is
on unused sector on ell systems tested. If the disk Is
P-rotected or not reedy the program will exit 1-dlotelv.
C OPY shuts off Interrupts when occesslng track zero to
ovoid problems with the spooler. COPY checks the next to
the lost byte <SFE> of t�e SIR for on extended directory
flo g. T h I s byte Is set non-zero by some users to
lndicote the cotol99 hos been extended to Include ell of
trock 1. If this flog Is set COPY will protect trock one
os well os trock zero. Flnollv the file dote Is Inserted
Into the destlnotlon file FCS before the file Is closed.
This Is done to k� the orlglnol dote on "the new file.
None of these "tricks" h ove produced ony problells for
t h e FLEX users who hove tested COPY; the)' ore onlv
mentioned In cose s0111e0n e hos o problem with COPY thot
oppeors to be compotlblllty.
PRINTING end SPOOLI NG
Occoslonolly one moy wont to keep o log of the flies bein g
col> 1 ed, perho s for unottended operotlon. The c0111ona
11
"P COPY 0,1" wllrprint the file speclflcotlons es the flies
ore copied. A dupllcote of eoch line will oppeor on the
termlnol olong with ell prompts. The comrnond "0 OUTFILE
COPY O,llo will do the so111e for o disk file. Since the
"OUTFILE" will be �n when COPY reeds the directory do
not be olormed thot It Is reported os o BAD FILE.
CCMENTS on OATES end FILE NAMES
Mony FLEX users ore lox In entering the correct dote
when booting their syste•· Part orthe responsibility
for this lies In the old copy progro• which used the
current FLEX dote when copyin g o file, thus rendering
t h e file dote ellnost useless. With this new COPY utilitY
the dote tokes on new sl gn l f lconce since the dote
reflects when the file wos orlglnolly creoted.
To use the olphobetlz ll)g feoture of COPY to Its full

with TSC's 6809 assembler, It occurred to me that If
the output wes condensed, no lines would be wrapped I start each assembler source file with the

saved, end the whole listing would be more compact NAM <program title to appear on each page>

For the past &eYeral. roonths, we at the sout:beut. Media lll:lrbial of Cl:llprtar p.tii�ng, .JDc. (QYI),
the parent <XI'Ipany of '68" M1CR) JaJRiiAL and <D.£8 M1CR) ..JaJliML, have debated expanding our software
distribution business. Many other magazines have been doing so fbr years (in faot, M:8l' were in the
Software Distribution Business BEFORE they began to publish a Magazine). Presently there are many
fine examples of software that has been developed by YCU, our readers, that will never see the "light
of day" due to the cost of Mvertis1ng and TIME and cost inYolved in the product.icn, dist.ril::lut.i, and
Customer SUPPORT of that software unless SOMEONE, with enough exposure and the willingness to
ccntinually adllertise, rul8 with the ball .
Software is the "backbone" for the REAL utilization of any computer System, and ours are no
exceptionI 'Ibis has been no ainpl.e declsi.cn. While we realize that there could be ecrne ocnflict. with
some of our advertisers, we AlSO hear a LOUD and cx:N'l'nOJS cry fbr Bl!ll.P fran our Readers. Fran day

In the past there has been too IUttl software offered that �o�as not quite ready. We will strive to
eliminate that element. But, right up front, we tell )IOU cnly that we will do our very best: nothing
more. Also, we will strive to 'keep cost to a bare minimum, ...tdle securing fbr the author a fair
return in royalty p!l.}mellts, pratptly paid, and in cust.cmer support fbr his product.
Of course, we will expect, no -- �. that the author 1teep the product free of errors (bugs),
and maintain it in a pratpt and business liJce manner. Also we shall require that authors be willing
to furnish 'source' fbr those programs that justify, by price and utility, inclusion of same . 'lhe 1.acJc
of source code, properly cxmnented, is a oontinual C01pla:int we hear. N:>t all proqrams will be sold
with source, but ...tlere necessary, we will insist that it be incll.ded.
In some instances the program may be sma.ll or short and not justify itself as a "single" sale
product. In this event it will be <XJIIbi.ned with other like proqrams, and offered as a packaqe. Dl
that event, the royalties will be split bet'wleen the various authors.

NOI DYNACALC Is designed tO be used by nOn·
programmers. but even a Ph.D. In computer
SCience can understand It Even experienced
programmers can get jobs done many times
faster with DYNACALC, compared to conventional
programming. Bullt·ln HELP messages are provided
tor Quick reference to operating Instructions.

6. Will DYNACALC read my existing data flies?
You betl DYNACALC has a beautifully simple
method of reading and writing data files, so you
can communicate both ways with other programs
on your system. such as the Text Editor. Text
Processor. sort/Meroe. STYL<XiRAPHTM word
processor. RMSTM data base system. or other
programs written In BASIC, C, PASCAL, FORTRAN, and
so on.
7. HOW fast Is DYNACALC?
very. Except for a few seldom-used commands,
DYNACALC Is memory-resident, so there Is little disk
110 to slow things down. The whole data array
1wor1<sheeo Is In memory, so access to any point Is
Instantaneous. DYNACALC Is 100% 6809 machine
code for blistering speed.
8. Is there a version Of DYNACALC for MY system?

mlnlmuml with FLExrM. uniFLEX ... or OS·9TM
operating system. You also need a decent crt
terminal, one with at least so characters per line.
and direct cursor addressing. If your terminal lsn·t
smart enough for DYNACALC, you probably need a
new one anyway. The uniFLEX and os-9 versions of
DYNACALC allow you to mix different brands of
terminal on the same system. There·s also a special
version of DYNACALC for color computers eQuipped
with FLEX !Frank Hogg or oata-comp verslonsl.

interchangeable ROM/RAM boards are at last a reality, and you get BLINDING
speed and LOW power thrown in for virtually nothing.

Gives your application a head start
Save time and money 1n the develop­
ment of your product or system by
using AMX, the sottware executive
with proven, fault-free operation.
SIMPLE OPERA110N
You divide complex control pro­
grams into a number of separate,
more manageable programs, called
tasks, each designed to do one job.
This allows tasks to be written and
tested separately and then combined
to form a reliable, l1n1shed system.
AMX supervises the orderly execu­
tion of these tasks, assunng that the
most important jobs always get done
lirst. Tasks appear to be executing
simultaneously. It's almost like hav1ng
a separate CPU lor each task!
HARDWARE INDEPENDENCE
AMX does not require a particular
hardware configuration. You control
your environment You pick the VO
method. You decide the preferred in­
terrupt service technique for your sys­
tem. AMX will support you on the
microprocessor of your choice.

AMX is fast, compact, and ROM able.
The AMX nucleus, less than 1400 bytes
in size, features multiple task priorities,
intertask message passing with prior­
ity queuing, external event synchroni­
zation, and interval liming.
Support modules provide extended
memory management, buffer control
and resource allocation. Fast, re­
entrant integer and floating point math
libraries are also available.

INTElLigent COMI.wttc:.Uona Progtwn
INTEWCOM provides you Wih t the capability of Intelligent
computer to computer communications from both a termin·
a1 emulation and file transfer standpoint. INTELUCOM sup­
porta several file transfer protocols that facilitate the transfer
of both binary and ASCII data. Since INTELUCOM Is menu
drfve, it is a breeze to use and understand. Wrth INTELLJ..
COM you will be able to communicate with the various data
and timesharing services such as The Source and Com·
puServe. Adclltionally. since INTELUCOM supports the
protocol used by virtually all remole CP/M systems around
the world, all users can immediately begin to take advantage
of the wealth of public domain sotware available on these
systems. Current. or potential. users of CompuServe can
transmit and rec:efve both bln.ry and ASCII dllta with lull
error detection and recovery. The checksum protocols allow
for the veriflcations of data blocks transferred (assuming
appropria te support on the hOst end) This feature will be of
great value In those applicaon
it s where data Integrity is para·
mount. INTELLJCOM's documentation Includes a detailed
description of all protocols used along with machine readable
examples of host pseudo code. A telephone directory and
dialing facility compatible with Hayes Smartmodems is sup­
ported.
