Subject: micro:<cpm.wstar> directory
(Yes, i know Keith already sent some of this out, but i had already
typed it anddon't want to "waste" it.)
The file of patch points to WordStar version 3.0 has just been updated. Added
were the no-file dispatch table, and points below user 1. The file was also m
modified so that it is much more readable. Two versions are available:
MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR>WS30PAT.PTS and .PQS, a squeezed version.
As it is becoming harder to figure out just files do what throughout the cpm.*
directories, may I make an suggestion: each <cpm.*> directory should have a
*.cat ascii file where * is the same as the directory name and cat is for
catalog. This would serve the same purpose as the vol###.cat file in the
cpmug or sigm directories and contain a short description of all the files in
that directory. Each new submission would include the blurb to be included in
the *.cat file and the maintainer would need only add it on. (w8sdz [Keith]
and fjw [Frank] have enough to do as it is.)
So guys, if you're the primary author or source in a cpm directory or even if
you just happen to be well acquainted with all the files in a particular
directory, make up a blurb file.
BUT FIRST -- Lets hear the response from the maintainers. Is there room?
Would keeping it up be too much work? Is the idea worth the trouble?
To give an example for the <CPM.WSTAR> directory, this is what I'm thinking
of:
