I personally am very grateful to SpartaDOS since my›     experience with it made the transition to MS-DOS machines a snap! It›     was that feeling of being in control that made me stay with SpartaDOS.›     Even though I had to trade off the fact that Sparta's file storage FAT›     tables etc. are very suceptible to becoming trashed seemingly for no›     reason.›     ›     Now we Sparta users do have a choice...›     the BBK Command Processor, it gives you that familiar Dn: prompt and›     the commands are almost identical to SpartaDOS.›     ›     The only drawbacks at this time is the fact that it was written for›     DOS 2.x, which means no sub-directory support.›     ›     Now WAIT!!! The BBK CP can also be used with MYDOS, and though at this›     time there is no 'internal' sub-directory support, I'll be putting›     together some 'external modules' that will facilitate sub-directory›     support from the command line.›     ›     ›     You need only use the first 3 characters of any of BBKCP's commands...›     ie.) PRO for PROTECT (lock) a file, or ERA to ERASE a file.›     ›     What you may want to do is go into the file with a sector editor like›     DISKMEND or DISKMASTER and change the ERA for ERASE to DEL for DELETE.›     ›     (NOTE:the position within the file of the 3 character commands›     determine what command they are. You can use any 3 characters for any›     command, it's the position within the file that determines what›     command it is.)›     ›     You could even use TEXTPRO to go in and change the command characters.›     The string of command characters is as follows:›     ›      .ERAPROUNPRENDIRCOPRUNCARTYPKILRVZ^›     ›     So to change ERASE to DELETE just load up a Sector Editor or Textpro›     and change the ERA in the above string to DEL and the change is made!›     ›     You can use this technique to also alter the commands within›     SpartaDOS.›     ›     I plan on making external modules for the BBKCP to take advantage of›     all of MYDOS' options. As fare as file structure FAT tables the VTOC›     etc. MYDOS is by far the most stable and reliable DOS available, and›     now I don't have to give up the command line.›     ›     I'd like to thank Bryan Schappel from BBK for creating such a fine››››››››››››››     Command Line Processor.›     ›     I'll also expend some effort in trying to locate him and see if he›     could create a CP that will take advantage of MYDOS.›     ›     Thanks!›     ›     Terry Browning›     354 East Bay Street›     Milwaukee, Wisconsin›                    53207›     Phone:(414)483-3639›             "  482-4147›                                                                           ›
