LUX (Library Utility eXtension) LUX is a special utility used to "enter" .LBR (CP/M and MS-DOS), .ARK (CP/M) and .ARC (MS-DOS) file collections -- this allows one to manipulate member files in various ways (i.e. TYPE and SEND files, modify .LBR files with NULU while running LUX, etc). You are also able to use NSWEEP and SuperZAP while using LUX, so now many operations can be performed without ever exiting it! While popular on (and of most benefit to) RCP/M's, LUX may be used on any Z-80 system (it is not encoded for 8080 cpu's). The distribution LUX80.COM is configured from the LUX80.MAC file as follows: DIR.COM A0: {Used for *.LBR and *.AR? and misc DIRs - you provide SDxxx.COM or similar} BYE.COM A0: {you provide} UNARC.COM A0: {UNARC v1.42 included} TYPE.COM A0: {LT v1.8 included} NULU.COM A15: {NULU v1.15 included} ZAP.COM A15: {SuperZAP v3.3 included} NSWEEP.COM A15: {NSWEEP v2.07 included} LUXCHK.COM B15: {included} LUXCRC.COM B15: {included} LUXDIR.COM B15: {included} RCPM EQU YES NUKMD EQU YES {using NUKMD} EXTARC EQU YES {allows .ARK/.ARC member extractions} BYEOK EQU YES CHATOK EQU YES NOTEOK EQU YES ZCPR EQU YES {uses MAXDRV/USR settings} NULUOK EQU YES {uses NULU with WHEEL} SZAPOK EQU YES {uses SuperZAP with WHEEL} NSWPOK EQU YES {uses NSWEEP with WHEEL} LUX.COM should be placed on A0: for access by all users. If you wish to reassemble LUX80.MAC for your own system needs, place all files on one drive/user area. Using EX15.COM (included), give this command: A>EX15 MAKELUX This will run the submit file (MAKELUX.SUB), which assembles/loads and saves LUX.CO0 and LUX.CO1 via M80 and L80 -- it then links the resulting .COx files and saves the finished LUX.COM via COMBINE (.COM), erasing the uneeded .COx files upon completion. Transfer options listed in the menu are SEND, SENDK, KMD S and KMD SK, but user input of KMD A and KMD L are accepted as well depending upon your equate settings (NUKMD and MBKMD differentiates between the L and A options, while KMD does not).
