IBMREAD - A program to read IBM-PC format disks
===============================================
by
Robert Heller
Synopis:
IBMREAD sourcedrv outprefix [textflag]
IBMREAD is a program that will read IBM-PC format disks on a
Sage II/IV or Stride 400 series. Sourcedrv is a CP/M-68K drive which
maps to either of the floppies. Outprefix is used as a prefix for the
output files - should be a drive letter followed by a colon. Textflag
is an optional flag to indicate whether the files are text files or
binary files - if blank (omited) the files are treated as binary, that
is no newline conversions are done. If textflag is non-blank, then the
files are treated as text files and newline conversions are done.
Recompilation notes:
IBMREAD uses modules from SAGESUBS.LIB (SUBSLIB.LIB) - uread
and uwrite.
Multi-User notes:
In order to run IBMREAD under the Multi-User BIOS, the running
task must be allowed to make configuration changes. That is, option B
under "User Capabilities" must be on. If it isn't, ibmread will abort
with a status code of -14 while trying to set the IBM disk
configuration.
