PAUSE - A DOS-Style Pause Utility For CP/M-86, Requiring A Keypress To Continue Freeware from Kirk Lawrence PAUSE is another DOS-type feature that's missing from CP/M-86's built-in com- mands. When invoked, PAUSE sounds a "beep" through the PC's speaker, puts the message "Press SPACE BAR to continue" on the screen, then waits for a keypress. PAUSE is designed to be used in SUBMIT or batch-type files to suspend further execution until the user presses the spacebar. It's particularly useful when TYPEing a series of small text files to the screen from a SUBMIT file. In spite of the on-screen message, pressing ANY key will cause things to re- sume. However, because of some eccentricity in the way CP/M-86 handles the carriage return character (ASCII 13), pressing the ENTER key doesn't properly clear the screen message. But you're safe if you use the space bar. If you find the program helpful, feel free to use it. As is always the case with "freeware," there are no guarantees; you use PAUSE.CMD strictly and en- tirely at your own risk and peril.
