SUBJECT: Installing ZCPR2 on the KAYPRO II 
 



1.0     Purpose of this Memorandum

     This  memorandum is intended to explain to a CP/M novice how
     to install a legal[1] copy of ZCPR2[2] on his KAYPRO II.  If
     these instructions are insultingly  basic  for  you,  please
     forgive.

     I have to the degree  possible  automated  the  installation
     process.   But  the  first  and  the  last  steps  cannot be
     automated, so they are described in detail herein.



2.0     Files You Will Need.

     On your system disk that came with your KAYPRO  you  already
     have  some  of the files that you need.  The remaining files
     that you need are in this package.












     _________________________ 
      
     [2]  By  *legal*  I  mean  doing it in a way that does not offend 
          Digital Research.  One can do anything one wants  to  do  to 
          one's  own  copy  of  CP/M,  *except* to sell it (or give it 
          away) to others.  It is always useful to remain  legal  when 
          it its possible to do so and still get the job done -- hence 
          this instruction for a legal approach to installing ZCPR2 on 
          the KAYPRO II instead of distributing a COM file. 
      
     [2]  There  are  an  incredible number of different ways in which 
          ZCPR2 can  be  installed.   The  version  provided  in  this 
          package  includes  all  options  **except** I/O redirection, 
          named directories, and password protection. 









                                    - 2 -                  ZCPR2 for KAYPRO II



3.0     Getting a Disk Ready for the Task.

3.1  To begin the process:

    .  FORMAT a fresh disk in Drive B:

    .  SYSGEN your current system to that disk.[3]

3.2  PIP the following files to that disk:

    .  SUBMIT.COM  (from your system disk)

    .  XSUB.COM                "

    .  DDT.COM                 "

    .  SYSGEN.COM              "

    .  MOVCPM.COM              "

    .  The two HEX files, and the SUB file, from this package.



4.0     Step Number One.

4.1  First  you must create a 63K version of your CP/M system.[4]
     That is necessary because to take advantage of ZCPR2's  fine
     features  you  need  a  little  more  space  than NON-LINEAR
     SYSTEMS gave you in the KAYPRO II BIOS.  You won't miss  (or
     even notice) that extra 1k, so don't worry about it.

4.2  Type  (without  the quotation marks) "MOVCPM 63 *", and do a
     carriage return.  You will then see the  following  on  your
     screen:

     CONSTRUCTING 63k CP/M vers 2.2 
     READY FOR "SYSGEN" OR 
     "SAVE 34 CPM63.COM" 
     A> 
      



     _________________________ 
      
     [3]  If you have set up your Number Pad  so  as  to  replace  the 
          1,2,3,4,etc.  with other characters, makes sure that you put 
          that   system   on   the  disk.   Changing  the  Number  Pad 
          subsequently is not so easy (though it can  be  done).   The 
          CONFIG.COM  program  will not longer do that, inasmuch as it 
          expects the table of data to be  in  a  place  where  it  no 
          longer is. 









                                    - 3 -                  ZCPR2 for KAYPRO II



4.3  When  the  prompt  (i.e.,  the  >A) comes back, type SAVE 34
     CPM63.COM and do a <cr>.  That will create a file  with  the
     name  CPM63.COM  on  your  disk.  We'll need the file in the
     automated sequence that follows.



5.0     The Automated Portion of the Process.

5.1  Type the following line at the prompt, and then do a <cr>:

               SUBMIT ZCPR2

     If you want to know what is going to happen, study the  file
     ZCPR2.SUB  that  you got from the library file.  When you do
     SUBMIT ZCPR2, you in effect tell the computer to perform the
     operations listed in ZCPR2.SUB in sequence.



6.0     Finishing the Job.

6.1  When the computer has typed the following message:

          ;I am now ready for the Last Step

     type the following line at the prompt, and then do a <cr>:

               SYSGEN ZCPR2-KP.COM

     When you are asked for DESTINATION, respond with an  A,  and
     when you are asked again, respond with a <cr>.



7.0     The Grand Finale.

     Now  comes  the  big moment.  Do a cold boot, and watch what
     happens.  If everything worked OK, you'll  see  a  different
     log-on  message  and  will  see a different prompt.  If not,
     something got screwed up and you'll have to track  it  down.
     Just  re-SYSGEN  the  disk  in  Drive  A:  with your current
     system, and start figuring our the problem.

     If it's working OK, SYSGEN to your  other  disks.   As  Rick
     Conn (ZCPR2's principal author) is fond of saying at the end
     of his messages, 'Enjoy'.
