Revised 3/26/94 by Jeff Marraccini <jeff@oakland.edu>

A list of all files in the CP/M archives is contained in directory
/oak/pub/cpm/filedocs as follows:

cpm.idx contains a listing of all files, with a brief one line
description for each file.

cpmindex.zip contains the latest cpm.idx, aaaread.me (this file),
     simcvt.bas, simcvt2.bas, simcvt.exc, simcpm.db2, simcpm.hdr,
     simcpm.inf, simdisp.awk, simdisp.doc, simcvt.for, and simdisp.pl.

Also available:

[ Note:  when using the files below, please substitute the name
cpm.idx whenever simcpm.idx occurs. -- jdm ]

quickref.lst a quick reference list to the OAK CP/M directories.

simcvt.bas and simcvt2.bas are BASIC programs to convert cpm.idx
     to a human-readable text file.

simcvt.c is a Unix C program to print cpm.idx.

simcvt.exc is a VM/CMS REXX program to print cpm.idx

simcvt.for is a VAX/VMS FORTRAN program to print cpm.idx

simcvt.sps is a VAX/VMS SPS program to print cpm.idx

simdisp.awk is an awk script for displaying cpm.idx in outline form.

simdisp.doc explains how to use simdisp.awk.

simdisp.pl is a Perl script to print cpm.idx.

simcpm.db2 tells how to use cpm.idx with dBASEII.

simcpm.hdr is a PC-File+ database header for use with cpm.idx.

simcpm.inf information on record structure of cpm.idx.

/oak/pub/cpm/FILES.IDX is updated when new files are added to the CP/M
     archives.  This is a comma-delimited file, without descriptions,
     suitable for importing into PC-File+ or DBase III.


                         DISCLAIMER

Due to the large number of files available, the archive maintainers
cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the
various programs.  When a program bug is reported, immediate action is
taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from
the archives.  Still, users must understand that all archive programs
are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim
any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage,
incidental or otherwise.  When testing ANY new software, be certain
that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so
that you can recover if files are damaged or erased.  This is
particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case malfunctions
can be spectacularly disasterous.
