BASIC and Business Programs ABSTRACT This submission contains a grab-bag of utilities for general use after some mods. Included is Michael Reese BASIC for RSX (or compatibility mode VMS) from the RSX SIG tapes, and several utility sets with their own documentation. Two business packages and a DBMS seed package in PASCAL from the CP/M User Group are included. The better of these includes G/L, A/P, A/R, payroll, etc. Source files are present; binary files pertaining to CP/M have been generally excluded, though images of the CP/M floppies are provided. These can be used directly by those with The Bridge. The Reese BASIC .MAC files are corrected by the .cmp files already and should be ready to build. The writeup with the kit describes where the submissions are: To Extract: The tape is in RMSBCK format, readable by RSX, RSTS, or VMS systems. In the VMS world, the command MCR BCK generates these tapes and the command MCR RST restores them. The tape contains files all from one UIC. You may use RMSDSP (MCR DSP) to display the filenames of the contained files. (DSP LISTFILE=MT:FILENAME.BCK/BP). To restore a container file to a directory, set yourself into the desired (empty) directory and give the command RST *.*;*/FR=MT:filename.BCK The /FR switch will ensure your UIC owns the files (avoiding privilege problems in VMS). If you must, substitute "MCR RST" for "RST" or substitute MM: for MT:. Note the tape must be mounted as a normal ANSI level tape (i.e., not a foreign tape). Writeup: The following is where things are: [1,10] (CPMVOL.BCK) - [1,10] (CPMFILES.BCK) - [4,*] files BIZBAS.ABS;1 This file In the following the ([4,n]) entries are directories that contain the source files from the CP/M volumes, in RSX format.

The .MAC files have all had the .CMP files already applied; just assemble and link. A certain amount of kludging to devise a good build file for your site will be needed. [3,14] (CPMGET.BCK) A Unix utility to read/write CP/M disks under Unix. Needs some work to run under RSX/VMS but looks useful. Use it to read the container files here. [3,107] (TARGET.BCK) A tape utility able to read Unix TAR format tapes. [3,15] (MISC.BCK) Some communications packages and other goodies.
