a tour of the FLEX system disk - nealcrook/multicomp6809 GitHub Wiki
This page lists the files on the FLEX system disk, multicomp_flex.img. It attempts to group the files by application.
13Nov2016: The system disk has now been updated from FLEX9.0 to FLEX9.1 and a number of the utilities here have been rebuild from source. As a consequence, the track ranges shown here will be wrong.
Files marked like this: ** can be rebuilt from source code on disk multicomp09_flexsrc.dsk

- The users manual also describes STARTUP.TXT but there is no default version of that file on the disk.
- The users manual also describes NEWDISK.CMD but this needs to be customised per system and is not applicable to a system with virtual disks like multicomp.
- There is (currently) no print support and so the P and QCHECK commands will not work.

FCNTL.H is identical to FLEX.H (and refers to itself as "flex.h" in its header comments)
TODO: which are the library files for the INTROL C compiler? Are the other .h files from INTROL or from elsewhere?
The McCosh C compiler
This is version 27.0:0. The final 3 .C files are just examples; useful for checking that the compiler is installed properly.

Miscellaneous of various/unknown origin:
STDINT.H t66,s49 - t66,s51 3 sectors 11-16-16

substitutes variable names in C programs or other programs
TOUCH.CMD t26,s20 - t26,s21 2 sectors 06-27-97 -

MV.CMD t25,s51 - t25,s54 4 sectors 06-27-97 -
Like the UNIX command of the same name, renames a file (but NOT simply a synonym for RENAME)
LOCATE.CMD t05,s38 - t05,s39 2 sectors 06-27-97 -
Like MAP, given an image file (eg a .CMD file) reports the memory regions and entry address associated with the file.
ED.CMD t19,s61 - t20,s11 23 sectors 06-27-97 -
Screen Editor by M. J. Randall (NOT to be confused with SCREDIT.. and not to be confused with another ED.CMD by Lloyd I/O).
DPACH.CMD t04,s71 - t05,s05 7 sectors 06-27-97 -

L.CMD t25,s23 - t25,s43 21 sectors 06-27-97
-
some disks have L.CMD as a synonym/copy of LIST/TYPE but there are also many dupes of L.CMD which enters an interactive line numbering environment that I don't know how to exit from.
OSM.CMD t38,s15 - t39,s28 86 sectors 04-16-85 -
big and exists in lots of places. Macro Assembler from Lloyd I/O. Compare with ASMB or with CRASMB, a cross-assembler which may take the same syntax.
Irrelevant files (I should remove them):
RM.CMD t26,s01 - t26,s02 2 sectors 06-27-97
