In order for the service  to operate in that environment, it was economically essential that the    collection, selection, collation, reproduction  and distribution, of the  wealth of ADAM material available, be u      legitimate, non-profit, ADAM oriented organization, is not only           permitted, but encouraged.2. It is also essential that due credit be given to the author, the       originating organization, and the ADAM News Network, when reproducing any article or item from these disks. Such credits should, wherever possible, form part of a preamble immediately preceding the reproduced item, or as  a footnote to the item. A general credit, in the form of a notice         appearing elsewhere within the bodared among those who benefit most from the service, namely the ADAM world at   large. But, subscribing in monetary form  alone will not be sufficient to assure the continuance of the service. In order for that to be assured,   A.N.N. will continue to need your input, in the form of articles,         programs, comments, reviews and etc., so that these can be redistributed  to other interested groups and individual parties. As evidenced by the enthusiasm with which this ADAM News Network          initiativeofit basis.

A list of adessential that the       following simple rules be meticulously applied:1. Although the individual item or article published through the medium   of the A.N.N disks may not be copyrighted, THE ANN DISKS ARE!. They       cannot be copied or redistributed as an entity, except with the express   permission of the Editor, Barry Wilson. However, as is the purpose of the service, the print-reproduction of any or all of the uncopyrighted        articles contained in those disks, in any suitable form, by any     ndertaken by a few ADAM users.     Mostly at their own expense! This resulted in considerable out-of-pocket  expense for a few, and in particular the founder, Barry Wilson. And, in   addition to the self-evident monetary outlays, were the insidious costs   of wear and tear on disk drives etc.Such a situation cannot, in all conscience, be continued. It is time for  the ADAM world to rally round Barry Wilson's brain-child and make it a    permanent, viable entity in that world. Responsibility must now be shy of a publication, will not be         considered sufficient to satisfy these requirements.3. Except as specifically authorized by the network, any use of the       material contained on the A.N.N. disks, by groups or persons involved in  a commercial enterprise, is prohibited. NOTE. Copyrighted material should not be submitted for distribution by    the ADAM News Network, since the purpose of the organization, is simply   to redistribute articles for reproduction by individuals or groups, on a  non-pr has been received and supported, the people who use, and are   interested in the ADAM, are behind the concept. Please do everything you  can to encourage others to be a part of that support.

After the test is   complete either passed or failed will appear on the screen.  One more thing    for some reason if you are not using a Adam printer the part of the test will  fail.  If this part of the test fails then the test is ended so in order to    use this software you must use a Adam printer.                                                                                                            store a SmartWriter file on a blank and then retrieve it.  The      second thing to check is the Adamnet outlet for the second drive.  This can be done by storing a Smartbasic file on the second disk drive or by using         Coleco's disk drive read/write cartridge.  This cartridge will read/write to a blank disk in the second drive while checking for: data compare error,         checksum error, media not found, block # error and write protect error. All of these tests are pass or fail.This technical cole results will be displayed on the screen as passed or failed.                                                                                                                                           TRACK TO TRACK TEST - This checks to see if the tracks alignment is within     tolerance.

If the speed of  the drive is off the present slow or fast will be displayed.  If the speed is  greater then 2 percent off then this part of the test will fail.

A couple of months later the   problem reappeared and they fixed it again, still under that six month warranty.The next time I had ADAM trouble, Coleco was in Chapter 11   and Honeywell had nothing to do with the ADAM anymore.

few drawbacks in that it allowed unerasing files which      would duplicate entries 
already in the current DU and unerased files which          overlapped the same 
allocation blocks as other active files.

Hence the creation of UNDELETE.COM.  This utility works in  the following 
fashion:

1	find all deleted files (or mask provided on command line)
2	mask out files with no EXTENT 0 (incomplete)
3	mask out files with allocation overlaps
4	mask out files with the same name as an debugging the  preliminary versions of this utility.                                      PREAMBLE  First a few explanations about deleted files and directory  structure.  CP/M  maintains a 32-byte directory entries for files.  The first 16 bytes are  similar to a File Control Block (FCB):  FCB OFFSET	0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F CONTENTS	d n n n n n n n n t t t e s1s2rc  The drive code goes in position 0 bytes 1-8  contain the file name bytes 9-11 contain the file type byte  12   contaable 
entries are created only for deleted files matching the AFN supplied.  If too 
many files are found, the program will abort.  Thsi might   only happen on a 64K 
directory with 1/2 its files deleted.

2
Print first report skipping all entries corresponding to    further extents of a 
file.  This fashion of reporting effectively masks out      large files for which 
extent 0 has been overwritten but other extents still exist in the directory.

3
The table is re-scanned and each allocation blode so 
instead, the BDOS places the user number in byte 0.

When a file is deleted, the BDOS replaces that user number  with an E5.  This is 
the signal for a deleted file entry which can be re-used by another file.  
Unfortunately, the E5 also wipes out the old user number.

UNERA.COM was a welcome addition to the CP/M public domain  and was very useful 
in recovering accidentally deleted files.  It looked for    files with the E5 code 
in byte 0 and replaced them with the default user number.

If no drive is specified the current drive is used.  The    program LOGS the 
selected drive out and then back in to force a directory    read.  Each directory 
record is read and scanned for deleted files, building      table entries in RAM for 
each found file.  If a file name was specified on the       command line, tins the extent bytes 13-14 are internal control bytes s1 and s2 byte 15    contains the number of records in this extent  So what's an extent?  Consider it as the number of chapters in the files, and  the record count as the number of pages in this chapter.    The working of  extents is a fairly complex exercise depending on your disk architecture.  
The difference between an FCB and a directory entry is the  first byte.  Once 
the directory is written to the disk, there is no need for  the drive cock checked   against a copy of the 
allocation vector.  If there is overlap, the file flag is   set to disable 
recovery.  If the allocation is unused, it is set to used   to prevent recovery 
of other files which may use the same allocation.  A second report is then 
printed.

4
Check the current drive/user for matches of the deleted     files remaining in the 
table.  These files may be undeleted later if the           corresponding active file is 
renamed.  A third report is then printed showingll out your text editor (the one that 
    creates .BAK files) and follow these steps:  (My editor is VDE)

	VDE a.a
	this is a.a version 1			[type this in]
						[exit]
	VDE a.a					[re-edit the file]
	this is a.a version 2			[change the 1 to 2]
						[exit]

    Now i have just what i expect; 2 versions of the same   file, but with 
    different names.  But I want to go back to version 1;   so as i often do:

	ERA a.a
	REN a.bak a.a

    After typing or doing whatever with a.a, I delete ie of internal conflicts.  If at any time, the number  of recoverable files 
becomes 0, the program aborts.  A ^C will also abort the    program at the 
CONTINUE prompts.

                              USE CONSIDERATION

Although this utility is smarter than UNERA.COM it can fail if a file with 
more than one directory entry is missing its second entry.  Under normal 
directory operations, this is an impossible situation since directory entries 
are filled in from the start of the directory.  Thus i files 
before using.  Particularly in the case of .COM files, it   is wise to tread 
safely with back-up disks when testing the recovered file.

Since UNDELETE recovers files to the current user area, you should select the 
user number which is appropriate to the recovery attempt.   Hey, you can even 
use UNDELETE to move a file from one user to the next by    deleteing it from one 
area, logging into another user, and undeleteing it.

The utility has been tested on a CP/M 2.2 system and should bek editor (like DUU or ZAP).  A variety of other     unusual happenings may 
affect program behaviour.....tread carefully.

If there are 2 copies of the same deleted file, they will   show up as 2 entries 
in the TAG menu.  To recover both and check which is the    most current, start 
by tagging only one version and rename it to another UNUSED name.  Run 
UNDELETE again and tag the second version.  Check them both out and delete the 
one you don't want to keep.

    How can this happen you say?  Pu only the   files which are safe 
to undelete.

5
Print the files out one by one and ask the user to tag them with a 't' or a 
'T'.  After the files are tagged, the user is asked for     confirmation:  a 'u' 
proceeds and a CONTROL-C aborts.  In order to abort the     tagging process and 
jump to the CONFIRM stage, just press ^C.

At every stage of the analysis, a printout is given of the  FILES FOUND SO FAR.  
This way, you can see those files you want to recover but   might be unable to 
becaust as well.  Later, i 
    want to get it back and pull out UNDELETE which reports 2 files called 
    a.a and both recoverable.  If I tag them both, I can be in trouble.  
    Although both are undeleted, the BDOS will only be able to find the 
    FIRST one when i try to open it.  If I try a rename or  delete, it will 
    find both and confuse me even more.  So I should tag    one, rename it, 
    and run undelete again. 


Although UNDELETE is smarter than UNERA, you should verify  all recoveredf     extent 1 is missing 
then extent 0 must be missing as well.

The ALLOCATION overlap can also fail if a sort-and-pack     program was used to 
re-order the directory entries.  Under normal operations,   it is impossible for 
the second of 2 deleted files (using the same allocation    blocks) to be the 
UNDELETEABLE one.  With SAP, there is no way of accurately  determining which 
file can be undeleted.

Both the above checks can be thrown out of whack if a file  was manually deleted 
by a dishave correctly 
on any Z-80 CP/M 2.x.  It has been tested with 1,2, and 4 K allocation blocks 
on media with 1 and 2 byte allocations.  Although it has    performed with no 
problems on these media, it is not guaranteed to work in    non-standard 
environments.  The utility will only run on a BDOS which    reports a "2?" HEX 
when asked for version.  CP/M 3.x does not like programmers writing directly to 
disk via BIOS calls.

there  is  also a CP/M chip that can be installed on  the  ADAM's 
Mother  Board.  Once loaded with whatever method, the  ADAM will 
only  understand  CP/M commands and thus,  will  handle  external 
devices such as data drives and disk drives entirely  differently 
to the way that, SmartBASIC, ADAM CALC, SmartWRITER and other EOS 
applications do.

You run a SmartBASIC H file by just typing RUN FILENAME<Ret>  and 
away it goes. The file is loaded and run without having to first 
LOAD  it. Here is the difference with CP/M. To get a  listing  of 
the  files,  you will type DIR<Ret> and this is  what  you might 
see:-

The  sixth  is an example of a crunched file. Note the Z  in  the 
middle  of  the  file extension, either side  of  which  are  the 
letters D and C. This almost certainly means that the use of  the 
UNCR.COM  decompresser  program will result in a DOC file.

The  Q  in  our  seventh example identifies  the  file  as being 
SQUEEZED which can be decompressed using UNSQ.COM.

Similar  to the .DOC file, the eighth example shows a  convention 
used   for  This is a CP/M 
runnable  program  file.  To run this,  just  type  FILENAME<Ret> 
without the extension.

The  second is a backup file, created whenever the main  file  is 
altered and saved under the same filename.

The third is a LIBRARY file whos contents are made up of a number 
of  files  conventionally  used to save space on a  disk  or  for 
transmission  of accociated files. To view a list of  these,  you 
can  use  the public domain program NULU.COM and to  extract  the 
files you can le of a crunched file. Note the Z  in  the

suitable  editor  such  as  the public  domain  VDE.COM  or even 
WordStar.

The  fifth  example is similar to library files except  that  the 
files  it contains are further compressed to save even more disk 
space. To free these up, you will need the public domain  program 
called UNARCxx.COM. The xxs are revision numbers which allow  you

from the 8 character filename by a full stop (period). This file 
extension gives a clue as to what type of file it is.

documentation or a WordStar file.

You  may  find  that  a library file will  contain  a  number  of 
compressed  files.  These  will  have  to  be  DELIBed  and then 
decompressed in 2 separate moves. Generally archived files can be 
extracted  and  decompressed  in  one  move  which  is  the main 
advantage of archive over library files.

                      PRINTING OBSERVATIONS
                         By K. A. Marner

Printing out a lengthy spreadsheet can be a little tricky whan it 
comes  to fitting it on a page. You can overcome most  formatting 
problems by first saving it as a SmartWRITER file using Smart Key 
IV and then use the word processor to alter the dimensions.  This 
uses up valuable disk space as you have to create a separate fe  final tip for users of A4 paper is keep your rows to  within 
68  and your total character width to within 78 and you will  get 
everything  in.  Note  also  that  if  you  are  printing  out  a 
spreadsheet  of more than the maximum rows indicated  above  with 
the  single  sheet option, you will have to wait for  the  "PRINT 
PAGE"  smart key II prompt before GETing the next  spradsheet  to 
work  on.  When printing is in progress, press  the  <PRINT>  key 
again and watch for the signal.

   
up to a maximum 78 characters so you will have to shorten any  of 
the  columns by 2 characters. One alarming thing I have found  is 
that  the  very first print out you do will not print  up  to  78 
characters but will do 75. The very next time you print, you will 
find  that the 78 character maximum will be reached. I  have  not 
looked into this particular anomaly as it may be due to my  using 
a  64k memory expander but I can say that to overcome this,  just

Thile 
to  say nothing of the time consumption. Printing  directly  from 
the  Adam Calc screen poses one problem. You have no end of  page 
indication. Here are some observations to help you cram your hard 
work on a page succesfully.

When  you  initially print out a spreadsheet of 10 columns  by  8 
characters  (DEFAULT),  this gives you 80 characters  across  the 
page  but AdamCALC will miss the last column and print it on  the 
last page giving you 72 characters across the page. It will print                       HAPPY PRINTING Setting this to 
SINGLE  SHEET 11" and printing will stop at 56 rows on  the  ADAM 
PRINTER allowing you to insert another sheet but with the printer

Bryan  Gilbert of Carlton, Beds asks the following which  I  have 
attempted to answer:-

1) I can't get any index listing on the SmartFILER. 
a1)  The tape was corrupted and hung up just after the  Smartkeys 
were  displayed.  You now have the latest version which  you  can 
varify by pressing <CONTROL> R simultaneously  at the poi the <ESCAPE> key is pressed.

You  can  control it's size by adding the line, IF  :SIZE  =  200 
[STOP]

TO M:SIZE
IF :SIZE = 200 [STOP]
FD :SIZE
LT 30
BK :SIZE
RT 60
FD :SIZE
LT 30
BK :SIZE
M  :SIZE + 20
END

Now try this:-

TO SPIDER :N
IF :N > 50 [STOP]
FD :N
RT 30
SPIDER :N + 0.1
END

No  prizes  for guessing what this program does but  type  it  in 
anyway.  N  goes up with an increment of 0.1 until  N  attains  a 
level  that is higher than 50. When this is reached, the  pe  final tip for users of A4 paper is keep your rows to  within 
68  and your total character width to within 78 and you will  get 
everything  in.  Note  also  that  if  you  are  printing  out  a 
spreadsheet  of more than the maximum rows indicated  above  with 
the  single  sheet option, you will have to wait for  the  "PRINT

2)   The   Supergame  pack  doesn't  do  anything,  can   it   be 
reconstituted.
a2) The tape did have the BUCK ROGERS supergame on it at one time 
but this too was corrupted. I have turned this into a blank  tape 
as  your label instructed. This is now a "RIGHT SIDED  DIRECTORY" 
tape which differs from regular tapes in that it's directory,  or 
block  zero, resides on the extreme right haeach  game  does,    
again,  our  good old friend, the Mini-Review, will  give  you  a 
brief  outline  and  indicate  in which  UKAS  Journal  the  full    
blown review appeared and I strongly recommend you invest in  the 
back issues. If you do not find the description of the game or no 
review has been published for it, please write in for one and  we 
will  endevour  to  get ahold of a review  perhaps  from  another 
newsletter.
6)  I have a copying program called COPYCAT which does 15  blocksdata pack or disk.
3) Do you have a printed summary of games/software available?
a3)  All  new  members are furnished with  the  UKAS  MINI-REVIEW  
which contains descriptions of all that is available for the ADAM 
as  they  appear  in  the price  list.  As  your  SmartFILER  was 
corrupted,  you  might not have been able to utilise  your  Mini-
Review    but    you   should   have   been   aware    of    it's    
capabilities  as  instructions  were provided. There  is  also  a  
print  format  foh is handy for tidying up  directories. And that  isn't 
all.  Quickopy  4 allows you to use a memory expander  as  a  RAM 
DRIVE so you can copy a boot  runnable program to the RAM and run 
it  from there and therefore save wear and tear on your  disk  or 
tape drive especially if the program loads and runs other files.
7) What are the NIAD public Domain Programs?
a7)  These  are  programs  submitted by  other  ADAM  owners  who    
consider   their  work  as  non-marketable.  Having  said   that,  of  Coleco 
Game Cartridges but you will always see the odd bargain or two at 
our annual OPEN DAY.
5) Cartsoft List. What do Y and N mean. Do you have a summary  of 
what the games do?
a5) The Y and N refer to the availability of instructions (Yes or 
No) and because you may already have instructions for the odd one 
or  two  titles,  you should indicate  which  title(s)  you  need 
instructions   for  or  "ALL"  if  you  require   all   available  
instructions  for  that  volume.  As for  what  nd side  vice  centre 
position. This tape will store   SmartWRITER letters as usual and 
is ideal for backing up a similar Supergames such as Buck  Rogers 
and  Richard  Scarry's Best Ever Electronic Wordbook. If  you  do   
not now have Buck Rogers, you will be pleased to know,  we   have 
many spare copies which you can purchase for #5.00 per  data pack 
or  #3.00  per disk. Basically, any tape can be fixed  either  by 
reconstitution or by complete replacement and the fee for this is 
#1.50 per  
at  a time before changing from source to destination   tape.  Is 
your Quickopy better?
a6)  Yes  in that the instructions provided give you  a  detailed 
description on data packs and how they are formatted and although 
Quickopy  will still only offer a 16K block copy with  the  basic 
ADAM, this increases to 80K with a 64K memory expander, 272  with 
a  256K expander and so on. Quickopy will  also do a  file  copy. 
That  is to say you can use it to copy a selection of  individual 
files whicr  you to print out descriptions  of  ALL  or  a   
selection  of  the titles. Just follow the  directions  from  the 
SmartFILER manual for printing using a SmartWRITER print format.
4) Are the games on DDP or Cartridge or can they come on either?
a4)  Again,  the Mini-Review has an indication of  this  and  the 
price list shows that titles come  on data pack or disk with only 
one or two on data pack only or disk only. See the price list for 
the  address of TELEGAMES who supply a large quantity     
there are some remarkable efforts in the public domain which have 
come  from  software  companies who are  either  no  longer    in 
business and have no copyright over their product or have brought 
out  better  versions of their software and do not  consider  the 
earlier  versions  as being commercially viable.  NIAD,  being  a 
large  ADAM  users group, have amassed quite a  collection  which 
they and their librarians have cleverly categorised and libraried 
for  your  convenience. See thiO  RED WIRE TO PIN 1 ON THE D-TYPE SOCKET   (+12 volts)
    COLECO WHITE WIRE TO PIN 3 ON THE D-TYPE SOCKET  (+5  volts)

    COLECO BLUE WIRE TO PIN 5 ON THE D-TYPE SOCKET   ( common  )
    CONNECT PINS 3 (WHITE) to PIN 6 ON THE D-TYPE SOCKET

Now replace the D-TYPE cover and you are in business but do check 
the  voltages  on  the wires just in case the  colour  codes  are 
different on your Power Supply. While I have checked the accueed  later but for now, consider this. The voltage  requirements 
to run the ADAM, according to the 'Hacker's Guide To ADAM', are:-

          + 12IL (for logic)   
          + 12vI (inductive)
          + 5v at 3 amps
          - 5v at 0.2 amps (for data drive motor reverse voltage)

There  is an 18 volt supplied by the printer power supply but  is 
not extended to the ADAM as it is used to drive the servo  motors 
in the printer itself.

The Coleco Power supply can provide all but the 12volts O  RED WIRE TO PIN 1 ON THE D-TYPE SOCKET   (+12 volts)

Now replace the D-TYPE cover and you are in business but do check 
the  voltages  on  the wires just in case the  colour  codes  are 
different on your Power Supply. While I have checked the accued 
wires.  Not wanting to completely canibalise the  connections,  I 
kept the Coleco plug attached and just bridged in the new plug.

Separate the D-type socket from it's cover and, looking into  the 
back (NOT THE FRONT) of this, carefully solder the exposed Coleco 
Power Supply wires thus:-

                     Reviewed by K.A. Marner

We have already covered CP/M alternatives to ADAM's EOS  programs 
like  the  SmartWRITER  word processor  (WordStar  4.0)  and  the 
SmartFILER  database  (dBASE  II V2.4) which  are  considered  as 
upgrades  to  very  professional programs but  no  one  has  ever 
mentioned the alternative to the brilliant ADAMCALC  spreadsheet. 
There are two titles that I havraight into the CP/M environment and make use of the 
highly advanced software available under this operating system. 
Once Multiplan is configured for your system, it is just a matter 
of  typing  MP<RETURN>  and  within seconds,  you  will  see  the 
familiar row numbers down the left hand side of the screen (1  to 
19)  and column numbers 1 to 7 across the top with each  cell  or  data entry area being 10 characters wide as opposed to AdamCALC's 
8 character cell. What I like about the look of thd for use under the  MS-DOS  operating 
system but, as in other cases, is available for the CP/M or  TDOS 
operating  system being converted in the past by such  innovators  as  Orphanware. Scanning certain computer magazines will turn  up 
great  value  for the Multiplan package ranging  from  #60.00  to 
#125.00. Here are just a few examples:

blue. Although the numbers down the left were 1 to 19, on the  TV 
screen  you will see the columns numbered 1 to 3 with  the  third 
column  being  only 6 characters wide. If you wish  to  see  more 
columns  then  you  will have to  use  the  <CONTROL><ARROW>  key  combinations to move around.

Along the bottom of the screen is the command list Alpha,  Blank, 
Copy, Delete, Edit, Folank  disk or data pack. Documentation  is  easy  to  follow  but, as is usual with most software titles, there  are  a 
number of books available that walk you through the setting up of 
a spreadsheet and utilising Multiplan's many features. One book I 
can recommend is "The best book of Multiplan" by Alan Simpson  in 
the SAMS series, ISB:0-672-22336 
Multiplan's  ease of use makes it a viable upgrade by  those  who 
are already used to AdamCALC and is a great program for those who 
wish to go ste come across namely Supercalc and 
Multiplan.  Supercalc is the most popular of the two but  we  may 
cover this in a later issue. For the time being, let us get stuck 
into  Multiplan,  which  I have used and  am  still  learning  to 
operate.  While  AdamCALC  offers a wide variety  of  methods  of 
manipulating numbers and formulae, you may get to the stage where 
it's relatively small memory capacity restricts you when you want 
to work on a very large spreadsheet.

Multiplan  is  commonly solis  spreadsheet 
is  that  the cell you are working on is highlighted  in  reverse 
video. I have used this program mainly on my 80 column unit under 
CP/M  2.3  (the  new  CCP) and then  later  under  TDOS  with  no  problems.  Just  for curiosity, I dug out a copy of  my  original 
CP/M 2.2 which, as most of you know, is for the TV screen. I then 
loaded Multiplan from a data pack and there, after a few minutes, 
on the screen was a workable spreadsheet program which needed  no 
special  coding  o          Aladdin Computers Ltd.

The version I have is V1.06 and is fully compatible with CP/M and 
TDOS. Whatever version you get will probably be for MS-DOS so you 
will have to send it in to UKAS with the usual fee of #3.50  and,

command  you  wish to use or press the <SPACE> bar  to  step  the

                         By K.A. Marner

Some  of you are wondering what they are and what  is  available. 
Let  me start by defining "Public Domain" as in the case of  ADAM  computer  software. Public domain software has no  copyright  and 
therefore  requires  no payment to the author. Programs  in  this 
environment   range   between  text   files   containing   useful 
information   but   of  no   up  information  in  a  table.  You  can  then  use  the  information  to build very comprehensive spreadsheets  performing 
complex calculations.

Supercalc  is  quite popular and may be the subject of  a  future 
article   but  for  the  time  being,  Multiplan  meets  all   my  requirements  so far and I can't see me outgrowing it at  all  in 
the future. cell  and  either  press 
<RETURN> or, if you wish to enter data in another cell, ps 
printed as they may not be consecutive.

NIAD  is (as far as I know) the longest standing ADAM user  group 
with some 6 years of priceless ADAM service behind them. That  is  a full 17 months longer than UKAS. In that time they have amassed 
over 200  public domain titles that are available on disk or data 
pack.  About 50% of these contain just one stand  alone  program, 
game  or utility but the other half are crammed full  of  various 
programs conveniently catagorised under the following heae prepared to see  your  data 
drive  work  it's  motors to the bone.  The  above  4  categories 
operate  on what is termed the ADAM's EOS  (Elementary  Operating 
Syatem).  This system is contained on a computer chip and is  the 
language  that ADAM understands as soon as you switch it  on  and  even  the  word processor understands this. CP/M is  a  different 
system altogether and while there are some methods of  converting 
one to the other, their files are not compatible with each  other 
in  GET the file you want and either read or print it out. Some 
volumes are auto-booting. That is to say that all you have to  do 
is  insert  the  disk  or data pack in the  drive  and  pull  the 
computer reset. You will then get a menu from which you to choose 
your options. 
SMART BASIC UTILITIES UNDV

These volumes also contain SmartBASIC programs but this time they 
are utilities such as those for editing or reading blocks of data  on  a  disk  or  data pack,  copying  files  patches  and  backnd  or you can  activate  the  printer  before 
issuing the TYPE command by first pressing <CONTROL> P<RET>. Some 
files may be squeezed so as to reduce the space occupied and they  can be recognised as they usually have a Q in the middle position 
of  the  file  extension eg. FILENAME.DQC. These  must  first  be 
unsqueezed  using the USQ program on CNDV 1. There are later  and 
much better versions on USQ but you will have to read the reviews 
to  find  out on which volumes they reside. Other  filens   are   catered   for   and   SmartWRITER 
documentaion is provided.

SMART LOGO VOLUMES LNDV 
These  are  LOGO programs that require that  you  load  SmartLOGO 
first. The 5 different volumes, LNDV 1 to LNDV 5, contain contain 
programs for entertainment, applications, graphics, utilities and 
patches. 
CP/M VOLUMES CNDV

There  are  54 different volumes designated CNDV 1  to  CNDV  54. 
Because of the way that CP/M stores its files, it is a good  idea  to  obtain your volumes on disk or bdings: 
SMART BASIC BNDV

To  date  there are 36 volumes containing  programms  written  in 
SmartBASIC  and are designated BNDV 1 to BNDV 36. You must  first  load SmartBASIC and then run the program title as listed with the 
command CATALOG. Some of the titles may have documentation  which 
will appear in a SmartWRITER file also contained on the same disk 
or data pack. Commonly, these will be called README or DOC files. 
Use the STORE/GET key while you have the word processor screen in  view, as much as a CP/M file will not run under an EOS  environment 
and vice versa.   
Although  most of the programs will run under the TDOS  operating 
system and there are versions of TDOS in the public domain, it is 
expected that users have prior knowledge of the CP/M 2.2 that was 
originally available for the ADAM if only to be familiarised with  the comprehensive commands which are explained in the manual. The 
DOC files associated with the programs must be either read  using 
CP/M's  TYPE  commaup 
utilities.  There  are 2 volumes designated UNDV 1  and  UNDV  2. 
Again,  these  disks  or  data  packs  may  contain   SmartWRITER 
documentation files for you to read or print out.
 ADAMCALC VOLUMES ANDV

These  volumes, of which there are 4 (ANDV 1 to ANDV 4) to  date, 
contain     pre-constructed    spreadsheets,    tutorials     and 
demonstrations that can be loaded from AdamCALC and can either be  used as they are or modified to suit your needs. Home as well  as 
business   applicatios  may  be  lumped  together  in  what are called library  files.  These  are 
recognesed  by  their .LBR file extension. To separate  them  you 
must  use DELIB or LU300 or later versions. Only files with  .COM 
as  their extension (short for COMmand file) can be run from  the 
prompt and only requires that you enter the filename without  the  extension  and then press <RETURN>. More on CP/M file  extensions 
in the CP/M HINTS ARTICLE.
