DOCUMENTATION FOR TYPEL version 3.x

V3.6 as of 01/01/85

CHANGE FROM v3.5:  $L mode now can be used to paginate printer listings
by setting the EJECTP location to the number of lines per page (56 de-
fault).  $L now no longer expands control characters.

CHANGES FROM v3.4a: (3.4 and 3.4a just fixed minor bugs)  Added new
mode - prompted single file entry.  USAGE:  A0>TYPEL Typel v3.5....
bla bla....

*
At the asterisk prompt, you may enter any valid filename, which will
then be typed. Command options are not allowed in this mode and revert
to defaults.  USQB has been modified to allow re-execution.


CHANGES FROM v3.20:  Fixed bug introduced in 3.20 (released as v3.30).
Added ability to select/deselect typing of $SYS files.	SYSLIB3 now re-
quired for reassembly.

CHANGES FROM v3.10:  Bug in single-file list routine fixed -- when
typing unsqueezed file with no EOF mark (no 1AH as EOF because file is
exact multiple of 128 bytes large) then last sector was redisplayed
until manually aborted.

CHANGES FROM v3.00:  TYPEL now includes LST output capability.	If the
command option $L is given, the file will be printed to the LST: device
with no paging, but with tab expansion ($L also sets the $N option).
Only data will be sent to the printer.	The $L option can be disabled
for remote systems - see below.

TYPEL is a universal single-file lister which allows typing of any of
the following type files:

     - normal ASCII file
     - squeezed ASCII file
     - ASCII member of .LBR file
     - squeezed ASCII member of .LBR file

TYPEL determines from the filetype whether or not the file is ASCII i.e.,
it refuses to process certain file types.


TYPEL is invoked as follows:

A>TYPEL FN.FT|FN[.LBR] [FN.FT] [$N]|[$L]

Translated to english, a few examples:

A>TYPEL FOO.ASM 		types the file
A>TYPEL STUFF.LBR FOO.ASM	types the member file
A>TYPEL STUFF FOO.ASM		you can omit the .LBR
A>TYPEL FILE.DOC $N		disable paging (if enabled)
A>TYPEL FOO.BAR $L		send data to list device, non-paged


1. If you supplu ONE argument, TYPEL assumes a single file and tries to
   type it.
2. If you specify TWO filenames, TYPEL assumes first filename is .LBR
   and attempts to find second filename in LBR directory.
3. If the characters $N are appended to the command line, separated from
   the other argument(s) by at least one space, the paging option, if
   enabled, is turned off for continuous file display.	(See below for
   paging).

OPTIONS:

TYPEL can be fully configured from the .COM file without need for reas-
sembly.  The following are the relevant patch locations:

0103	MAXDRV		enter highest drive allowed PLUS 1 (A=2, B=3...)
0104	MAXUSR		enter highest allowable user area PLUS 1
0105	MAXLIN		enter maximum number of lines before TYPEL
			aborts, or enter 0 for no limit.
0106	MAXLPS		enter number of lines on screen MINUS 1, or 0
			for continuous display ($N command line option
			overrides the setting).
0107	LSTEN		enables LST output. Set to 1 to enable LST op-
			tion (default) or set to 0 if LST undesired.
0108	SYSEN		enables $SYS type. Set to 0 to disallow $SYS or
			to 1 (default) to allow $SYS.
0109	EJECTP		enter number of lines per printed page or 0 if
			page eject is not desired.
010A	...		The exclusion table starts here. Each entry has
			3 bytes.  A "?" denotes an ambiguous byte i.e.,
			"OV?" matches "OVR", "OVL", etc.  There is room
			for an additional 9 entries.  If you wish to
			DELETE an entry, use DDT to set all high bits.


REASSEMBLY:

You must reassemble TYPEL3 with M80. You also need USQB.REL (provided)
and SYSLIB3.REL (you supply it).  When linking, all three .REL files
must be on the same default drive.  Example:

A>;assemble with M80/L80
A>
A>M80 =TYPEL3
...
A>L80 /P:100,TYPEL3,TYPEL3/N/E
...
A>; or if using DR's LINK:
A>
A>LINK TYPEL3

Note that you need not specify USQB and SYSLIB on the link command line.
Be sure, however, that the files are indeed on the default drive!
