PS:<MICROS.AMIGA> -- DIRECTORY CONTENTS AND COMMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
68KZIP.ASM and AMIGAZIP.C are the ZIP/EZIP sources.
INTUITION.BUGS -- as reported to tech support.
PATCHES.BUGS details several changes to the supplied "include" files
needed for successful compilation.
SUPPORT.INFO -- for customer support, lists some potential user
problems and answers.
AHEAD.C -- support for buffered type-ahead. Not yet integrated
into the I/O sources or tested.
Development for the Amiga involves three machines, the DEC20, a Compaq,
and an Amiga. The Compaq is the primary machine. All development tools,
various header and include files, and the sources reside there.
The DEC20 is used mainly for convenience in editing the large source
files, and for backups. Files are moved to and from the Compaq with
Kermit.
The Amiga itself is presently used only for executing and testing
the program. A native version of the developement system does exist,
but without a (working) hard disk, forget it.
An executable program file is transferred by running Crosstalk on the
Compaq and Read on the Amiga. It must have been converted to hex format,
since Read only accepts 7-bit data.
------------
See also <DUNCAN.AMIGA> for backups of all Compaq batch files,
and notes on use.
------------
When Kermiting to the Compaq, first split the 68K source file on the 20
into four parts, ZIP1.ASM through ZIP4.ASM, to facilitate editing.
Transfer these along with ZIP0.ASM, the master include file.
Old ZIPx.ASM files should first be deleted from the Compaq directory,
or the new ones will be renamed ("&" chars added) during transfer.
