Subject: SWEEP40 file copy program available on SIMTEL20

SWEEP version 4.0 by Robert Fisher is now available on SIMTEL20.  This
utility program is for maintaining file directories, and transferring
files between drivers and user areas under CP/M 2.2.  When SWEEP is
invoked, you will see a menu of commands and the first entry in the
directory.  You will also be given a total space (in K) occupied by
the files and the remaining space on the disk.  Typing 'space' or
'return' moves you forward in the directory; typing B moves you
backward.  The directory is circular, so typing space at the end of
the directory moves you to the beginning.

This program was written in PL/I and the complied .COM file is 28k,
which is much larger than NSWP or DISK7.  However, SWEEP40 has been
around for a long time and there have been no bugs reported.  I have
received two reports of NSWP205 trashing hard disk directories.

SWINIT is a setup program which allows you to customize SWEEP40 for
your terminal's screen clear command, maximum number of drives
allowed, maximum user number allowed, etc.

No .DOC file is needed because the program has built-in help and
because SWINIT allows customization which was formerly documented in a
.DOC file and required DDT to patch.

Here is a list of the files (the .HEX files are for those who cannot
FTP binary files):

Filename                       Type     Bytes   Sectors     CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.FILCPY>
SWEEP40.COM.1                  COM      28032  219 =  DBH  0599H
SWEEP40.HEX.1                  ASCII    68232  534 = 216H  7549H
SWEEP40.TXT.1                  ASCII      249    2 =   2H  EE98H
SWINIT40.COM.1                 COM      13952  109 =  6DH  D80BH
SWINIT40.HEX.1                 ASCII    33975  266 = 10AH  41A7H
