             Description ZXVGS


                Introduction

ZXVGS - Operating System for Spectrumsovmestimyh 
kompyuterov.Dostupna for use on a wide range of hardware 
sredstv.Esli you want to test or use ZXVGS, seek latest on 
{download page}. ZXVGS also includes a CP / M-compatible system 
called CPM22QED, which is often used as a file system

(Until the file system of new
generation ...).


                 Iron

ZXVGS always has its own memory, which is not available from 
the level of ZX Spectrum. Therefore, the memory available to 
programs (and the ZX Spectrum 48kB, and 128kB) is not limited. 


        Software

Software ZXVGS stored in files with the extensions ". V00" 
(double zero). Extensions with "V" and numbers other than zeros 
are overlays to programmam.Suschestvuet two programs with a 
special designation:  * START.V00 loaded after reset system

    system,
 * SHELL.V00 boot option, Load Chapter
    vnogo menu.
ZXVGS can also run software from other
types - is capable of emulating TR-DOS and
Interface 1. This is done with the resident Expansion of 
{Resident System Extentions (RSX)}. RSX - a short program that 
loads into the memory system and allows you to expand 
opportunities ZXVGS. It has a file extension ". RZX". The most 
commonly used RSXy - those who run the special file formats 
(eg, "*. Z80" and "*. TAP") - in this case the name of the RSX

comes from the expansion of such a file (for example, 
"Z80.RZX"). Such RSX can load data from files or run programs 
that are enclosed in them. See the list extensions that are 
defined and ZXVGS. 

If you want to write a program to
ZXVGS, you should read the text on the functions available from 
the engine koda.Mnozhestvo information, especially regarding 
specific hardware solutions, you can read in

history of releases.

           Description CPM22QED


                Introduction

CPM22QED - the operating system for computers based on the Z80, 
compatible with CP / M 2.2 and partly to the CP / M Plus. If 
you want to to test or use

CPM22QED, take the latest version {download page}.

Capabilities:
 * 60160 bytes (58.75kB) memory for programs (version 1.xx),
 * Download with one disk (version
SAM and TMX),
 * The system is stored in an ordinary file
 * Improved disk management:

   * Table XDPB, as in CP / M Plus,

   * One or two drives (or 4 in the TMX

      version)

   * Disk structure (XDPB) can be

      redefine program

      QMOUNT.COM,

   * Floppy disk sector can have a length

      from 256B up to 1kB,

   * Automatic detection of logical
      fine structure (only TMX),

   * Ramdisk in versions 1.xx - device

      M: (and N: at SAM - up to 4MB),

   * Management of hard disk in versions

      1.xx (SAM, UPB),
 * Specific design format a floppy disk:

   * Random record another operating

      system (eg, MSXDOS) completely

      excluded,

   * Disk capacity is used well

      read (210,420,410,820 and 1640kB),

   * No tracks reserved for

      system

   * Ability to load different components
      Tera from the same disc

      (Ie, SVI and SAM),
 * Text terminal:

   * 24 rows and 80 columns,

   * 224 characters overridden with the matrix
      ritsey 6x8,

   * Pseudographic framework, both at the CP / M

      Plus,

   * Polish diacritics in

      AmigaPL, in addition, ISO-8859-1

   * Control codes are recognized terms
      nals VT-52, Heath H89, Zenith z-19

   * Prepares for the use of 8 individual

      display flow

   * Prepared text boxes

   * Keyboard buffer (32 characters) - for

      Except SVI version

   * Possibility to set 6 * 58 = 348 keys

      except SVI version
 * General programs:

   * QFORMAT.COM - for formatting

      floppy drives

   * QMOUNT.COM - to change the settings

      disc format (XDPB),

   * QSYS.COM - to activate the boot

      sectors
 * Improved system modules:

   * ZCPR1 instead of the CCP - and more

      improved team

   * SUPERDOS instead BDOS - improved

      description of errors

   * Storage of dynamic modules (CCP and

      BDOS) in free buffer RAM

   * Terminal codes are common to all

      versions

   * Code disk access is common to all
