;;xxxxxxxx SYN.DOC v1.0 05/26/85 Eric Gans French Dep't UCLA Los Angeles, CA 90024 SYN.COM is a little "synonym" program that makes a file out of a CP/M command line. It accepts input parameters, and so can be used like a one-line SUBMIT file. Syntax: syn file.com To make things simpler, you have to enter the COM (unless you want to use OBJ). The command line is the set of commands you want to run, including up to 9 parameters ~1 - ~9 (I used "~" instead of "$" to avoid having to worry about literals). Example 1: you do a lot of PIPing of files from B2 to A0 and are tired of typing: pip fileqq=b:[g2ov. 1. create the file pip2.com with a parameter: syn pip2.com pip ~1=b:[g2ov 2. to copy fileqq from B2 to A0, enter: pip2 fileqq Example 2: you extract a lot of files from libraries using NULU: nulu -o a9:blurk -e zap.com=a0: 1. syn nulux.com nulu -o a9:~1 -e ~2=a0: 2. nulux blurk zap.com does the trick (I assume you keep all your libraries on A9:) The created file won't be more than 2 sectors long, so it will load fast and get your command line to the CCP quickly. Sort of cute, isn't it?
