SD-44 if a nice directory Lister

SD-44 *.TXT

INFO .TXT 4k | SQUEEZE .TXT 12k

Drive A, user 6 contains 16K in 2 files with 7228K free

SD-44 *.JAZ

NO FILE on A - 7228K free


When running SD-44 if the USER # is above 6
it returns "User # ERROR".

Example: A[0-6] OK but A[7] fails.

Is there a fix for this of is the source available?

I don't believe it is RunCPM dependent.

Thanks

SD has assembly-time options for setting max drive and user numbers.
Could be that. Source for SD-44 is on SIG/M vol 66.

One of the reasons for this is that it was useful to be able to restrict
what users could see on RCPM systems.

I did a video a while ago which shows how to configure SD for more drives,
more user areas, different terminals, etc. You may find it useful:

I really hate to ask stupid questions but after I ASM SD-40 how do I convert the HEX file to a COM file?

I tried HEXTOCOM SD-44 but it produces no output.

HEXTOCOM SD-44

The command sequence:

ASM SD-44
LOAD SD-44

ASM will convert SD-44.ASM to SD-44.HEX (and SD-44.PRN)
LOAD will convert SD-44.HEX to SD-44.COM

ASM went OK. But got this on LOAD:

The source ends up assembling for ORG 0 when you use ASM. I suspect DRI ASM.COM is tripping over an equate or pseudo-op.

Needs MAC (or RMAC with equate set) as it uses macros. ASM spits out errors.

I did a conversion to sd44.mac to assemble with Microsoft M80. Note that"back in the day" there were
quite a few assemblers. ASM, MAC, RMAC from Digital Research. M80 from Microsoft. LASM and others.

This source is interesting... probably MAC and RMAC. ASM didn't support MACRO. I use M80, as that
was my "go to" assembler back in the day. Command lines are

m80 =sd44
l80 /p:100,sd44,sd44/n/e

(You need M80.COM and L80.COM -- supplied with any Microsoft product back then).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eowdsajpmapz519/sd44.mac?dl=0

FredW

m80 =sd44

No Fatal error(s)

I'd use a later version, SD 138b can be found here: http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/cpm/Software/WalnutCD/enterprs/cpm/utils/s/sd138b.lbr

This is the version used in the video and will work with regular ASM.

fridtjof,

That did the ticket as far as compiling. I adjusted the table at the end to allow for drives A - P.

But now I can't see beyond drive X:. User numbers are not working.

SD44 B2:

NO FILE on B - 7244K free <<<---

SD44 B:

INFO .TXT 4k READ .ME 4k RFILE .DAT 4k Z80CCP .ARK 20k Z80CCP .ASM 36k Z80UTIL .LBR 56k
Drive B, user 7 contains 124K in 6 files with 7244K free

B2: <<<---

SD44

BUILD .TXT 4k HIST .MAC 12k INFO .TXT 4k LDBLD .MAC 12k RANTEST .ASC 4k README .TXT 4k SIDCMD .MAC 44k SIDLA .MAC 20k SIDRELO .MAC 52k TRACE .MAC 8k WS4 .$$$ 0k XSID .LIB 4k XSIDLOAD.MAC 16k ZSIDLA .MAC 40k ZSIDO .MAC 4k ZSIDREL .MAC 112k
Drive B, user 2 contains 340K in 16 files with 7244K free


Silly me. I had to use:

SD44 L80.COM $AD

OR

SD44 A:SD44.COM $U0

SD44 .COM 4k
Drive A, user 0 contains 4K in 1 files with 7260K free



Works!!! Thanks
