: NEW-SWP.COM This program creates a new PW.SWP file for you. Permissible Swap File sizes are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, 128, 136, 144 and 152K (plus 1K more in every case to take care of the configuration data stored there). PIP the NEW-SWP.COM file onto a formatted (Blanked) disk. Put that disk in B. Put your PW-Edit disk in A. Press RESET. When you get the A> prompt, type B:. When you get the B> prompt, type NEW-SWP . A menu will come up. Answer the questions (standard answers are given as suggestions). The machine will then start building the new PW.SWP file for you, reporting progress in K. It took 14 minutes to compile a 128K PW.SWP in my standard Kaypro II. When completed, PIP onto the disk PW.COM and anything else you want, and have left room for. My 128K disk has Smartkey and some Definition files. A point to remember is that use of a LARGER THAN 64K Swap file commits you to make two more disks with the same size file. One of them will carry PF.COM and the other will carry PP.COM. You will have to switch disks to format, and to print. You will also wait a lot longer for things to happen. In the event that you also want to use Perfect Speller, you will need a fourth disk with PS.COM, DICTNARY.SPL and AFFIXTAB.SPL on it, as well. The cursor display line must be between 1 and 24. Tab spacing, fill column and indent column should be between 0 and 79. The indent column should be less than the fill column. The delay count can be any valid integer, but the range 100 to 1000 is a reasonable one. The clock rate can be 4, even though Kaypro II runs at 2. This was typed using my 128K PW-Edit disk, which was set at 128, 10, 65, 8, 0, 4 and 300 (answers to questions). The first 117 bytes tell Perfect Writer how to interface with Kaypro, and are simply copied from your disk. The next 8 bytes are answered by the questions above. The balance of the first 1024 bytes are copied from your disk. Then the NEW-SWP program goes to work padding out the rest of the Swap File to the length you have specified. It works.
