CCPCHAIN.DOC  OCT. 1986

FOR: CPM-80/Assembly language programming

PURPOSE:

Attach this program to the end of your assembly language program.  It
will chain the program named in FILENAM to your program by inserting
that file name into the CCP buffer.  A jump to the CCP causes the named
program to load and execute.


Background:

While setting up BYE510 to run on my Osborne I found that my modem needs
to cycle on and off one time to work properly.  It was easy to write an
auto-start program to do this but then how do I get BYE up and running
without entering a command from the console? Using the CCP buffer is
ideal for this application because the computer doesn't know if the
command came from the console or another program.  Just be sure that the
CCP hasn't been overwritten before you jump to it!
