Subject: NEW release version of CRCKK

Now available from SIMTEL20...

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory PD:<CPM.FILUTL>
CRCKK31.LBR.1                  BINARY   32768  9CB1H

This is the improved version of CRCKK that I promised a few weeks ago.
The changes are pretty much along the line I mentioned in my note,
(with the -u option now "simulating" UNIX by ignoring CR's and using
CTL-Z for EOF).

However, I have made other improvements as well, but these are
"hidden" in my compiler who's croot.c and blkio.asm modules I have
again enhanced (substantially).  The .COM included in the CRCKK31.LBR
reflects these improvements.

The improvements are basically two: substanially complete UNIX-shell
syntax (including Unix-style wildcards, complete redirection
w/appending, etc) and possible substantial further speed improvement
when executed under CP/M 3.0 (or greater).  My compiler now generates
code that "automatically" uses CP/M 3.0's multi-sector read/write when
run under CP/M 3.0.  When run under 2.2 it uses the old
one-sector-at-a-time code.

On my computer, this version runs 3X times faster than version 3.0
did.  (With similar improvement with recompilation of other
utilities).

Anyway, I've listed the individual changes and improvements in the two
additional sections that I've added to the README.CRC file.
