on "https://github.com/hperaza/ZSM4". The licence is the
GPLv2 (General Public Licence Version 2). The source files
of this Assembler can be mounted on drive O:.
This Assembler is now the standard for assemble BOOTSYS and
the BIOS3-Z80-files for YAZE-AG (see drive P:).
* The usage, the description of the different features and the
Copyrights can be displayed with the flag "-?".

release candidate 1 of version 2.50.0 with windows size signal handler
* for testing
2019-11-17 Andreas Gerlich
final release 2.41.7.1 with windows size signal handler
* I have finished the development at the C sources.
The yaze_bin binary reports the version 2.41.8.
* The version nummber of the tar-archive is still 2.41.7.1, this
means that I have to work at the Windows binaries.
The final version of the tar-archive will be called 2.41.8 when I
have produced the final Windows binaries.
Have a look to release candidate 4 of version 2.41.3. It describes
the new features.
2019-07-24 Andreas Gerlich
final release 2.41.6 with windows size signal handler
* some minor changes
* Makefile for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B added
* This version ist the basis for Windows binaries

final release 2.41.5 with windows size signal handler
* Richard Deane reports an error in context with the device program of CP/M 3.
This is fixed in this version.
Have a look to release candidate 4 of version 2.41.3. It describes
the new features.
2019-06-06 Andreas Gerlich
finale release 2.41.4 with window size signal handler
Have a look to release candidate 4 of version 2.41.3. It describes
the new features.
2019-05-23 Andreas Gerlich
release candidate 4 of version 2.41.3 with window size signal handler
* The window size signal handler determins the lines and columns of your xterm/LXterminal/gnome-terminal/...
It sets the columns and lines bytes in the SCB (System Control Block) of CP/M 3.1. CP/M programms
and Wordstar 4.00 gets from the SCB this values to set up the screen.
Wordstar can only get the values at start time. When Wordstar runs you
can change the columns and lines of your terminal emulator but Wordstar
can determin the new values not before the next start of Wordstar 4.00.
You must use the patched Wordstar 4.00 which is here in the tar-archive on drive A:
when you run the emulator! (Wordstar 4.00 ist patched with the file
CPM3WS4.Z80 which is also on drive A:)
* The Z80 "INI"-instruction works now correct.
* Keytranslation: The F4 button works now.
* I mount over the .yazerc now only A: and B:. The rest of the ydsk-files can be mounted over
the sys commands in profile.sub. Default is: No mounts of the rest ydsk-files.
* This version is for testing only to make a feedback to me if somthing does not work or it works very well!!!
2018-02-01 Andreas Gerlich
final release Version 2.40.5 with keytranslation
* update some utilities on drive A:, see *.TXT
* Full update of the documentation:
1. "Keytranslation" is added to yaze-ag.doc
2. "Wordstar with more than 25 lines" is added to yaze-ag.doc
* Windows binaries for different machines produced:
1. The Windows installation binaries produce 2 icons on the desktop:
One for 25 lines and one for 46 lines!
--> see "Wordstar with more than 25 lines" in yaze-ag.doc!
2. There is no second window opened when you start
a Window binary.
2018-01-01 Andreas Gerlich
development version 2.40.4-02 with keytranslation
* update some Utilities see the *.TXT files on drive A:.
* update the Documentation.
* Windows binaries are produced for 32Bit-generic, 64Bit-core2duo/i3/i5
and 64Bit-corei7 (see the development directory).
* The file structure of the Windows binaries have to be changed.
This was necassary to prevent the second window which was opened
in older versions.
* All changed for producing windows binaries (see the script
"gen_windows").
2017-01-23 Andreas Gerlich
final release Version 2.40.3 with keytranslation
* update 3DIR.COM and R.COM (import utility) on drive A:
(BOOT_UTILS.ydsk)
- R.COM had a bug. This is fix in this version.
- 3DIR.COM is a version from Jon Saxton.
It prints the right size of the files.
* update drive L: (spl.ydsk) with the new source of R.COM (YREAD.SPL).
(Have a look to Y.SUB which generate A:R.COM and A:W.COM.)
* update Wordstar 4.00 on drive A: (BOOT_UTILS.ydsk)
- This version is patched and takes the number of column and lines
from the SCB (system control block) of CPM3.SYS (CPM3.COM
respectively yaze-cpm3.boot).
(When you give at system generation of CPM3.SYS another number
of lines then you can edit with the Wordstar with more than 25
lines. Default is 25 lines. You must expand the lines of your
terminal emulator (for example "xterm") to the lines which you
give at system generation. Then start CPM3.COM which is genrate
by the submit file G.SUB on drive P: (BIOS3.ydsk). Have a look
to the submit file P:G.SUB.)

* I add the "DISKSORT" project
This version is for testing !!!
(read also all infomations until 2003-12-20 in this document.
At 2003-12-20 I begin with this development circle)
2005-03-05 Andreas Gerlich
development Version 2.02-11
* I adapt the emulator for the CYGWIN-Environment
(remember CYGWIN is an unix environment for windows)
This version is for testing !!!
(read also all infomations until 2003-12-20 in this document.
At 2003-12-20 I begin with this development circle)
2004-08-16 Andreas Gerlich
development Version 2.02-10
* NEW: P:BIOSKRNL.Z80 changed. Now you can run Z3PLUS !!! :-)
* NEW: I have to change the mount.com utility.
Please don't use the old one (yaze-ag crashes) !!!

(It's the documentation of the final release 2.10)
This version is for testing !!!
(read also all infomations until 2003-12-20 in this document.
At 2003-12-20 I begin with this development circle)
2004-04-14 Andreas Gerlich
development Version 2.02-08
* NEW: Now the time stamps informations are now correct on big endian
(sparcv9) and on little endian (intel) machines.
* NEW: I integrate the new monitor command "setaccess on/off".
(see also "help setaccess" in the monitor)
When a Unix directory is connected to a CP/M drive normaly
only update time stamps are present.
If you will see also the access time stamps you switch
it on with "setaccess on".
(see "SET [ACCESS=ON]" in the help with HELP.COM)
This version is for testing !!!
(read also all infomations until 2003-12-20 in this document.
At 2003-12-20 I begin with this development circle)
2004-01-27 Andreas Gerlich
development Version 2.02-06
* NEW: When you connect a directory to a CP/M drive the date stamps
of the unix files will now be present also under CP/M 3.1.
The modification time of the unix files is the update time
under CP/M 3.1 .
Now it's posible to edit source files under unix/linux and
to compile it under the yaze-ag emulator with the MAKE.COM
(and resetdsk.com, look version 2.02-02 ) utility.
>>>> The time stamps are only correct on little endian machine
(for example Intel) !!!
This version is for testing.
2004-01-25 Andreas Gerlich
development Version 2.02-04 (internal version not uploaded)
* integrate the date calculation function "dayfaktor" in bios.c
(It calculates the theoretical days since 1.1.0000)
(Gregorian calendar)
(look to the Modula-2 sources DAYS.MOD/DEF and BIRTHDAY.MOD
on drive M: (disk file "Turbo-Modula-2") when you have started
the emulator.)
* Update the CP/M 3.1 function "Get and Set Time" in bios.c to use
"dayfaktor".
* patch cdm.c with the patch from Carl Mascott.
* Carl Mascott reports an error with unmounting drives.
The sys.com utility makes now a full reset of all drives (BDOS 37).
* cleanup all sources (*.c) to use the flag -D_BSD_SOURCE for Linux
(I took the knowledge about this flag from yaze-1.12)
2004-01-20 Andreas Gerlich
development version 2.02-02
* Fix reread bug of a unix directory
Describtion:
When you give a ^C (CTRL-C) at the prompt of the CCP
the disk system in CP/M will be reseted completely.
A drive which is connected to a directory will be
now fully rereaded (remount) at the next access (SELDSK).
You can use the feature "Mounting Directories" if you create
and edit files with vi or an another editor under unix and
you want to compile the files over a compiler/assembler in yaze-ag.
(This new function works also under superdos (CP/M 2.2) which is
in the boot file "yaze.boot".)
I add the little program "RESETDSK.Z80/COM" which resets all
disks over the BDOS function 37. This is identical like the
CTRL-C. You can use this utility in a submit file:
compile.sub:
;
resetdsk
;
; Resets all disks. Every drive will be rereaded by
; CP/M 3.1. Direcrories will be fully rereaded.
;
m80 d:test=c:test
;
; d: must be a disk file.
; c: is connected to a directory and will be fully rereaded
I add to the monitor the command "remount <drive>" which you can use
also in a submit file with the command "sys remount <drive>"
Remount makes also a remount (reread of the unix directory) explizit
of the <drive>.
(It tells (like mount) over the MF flag in the DPH of the
<drive> and the @MEDIA flag in the SCB to CP/M 3.1 that
this drive is "new". At the next access to the <drive>
CP/M 3.1 tests if the <drive> is changed and makes a
reread of the directory if necessary.)
You can also use the work around with
"sys mount <drive> <unix-directory>"
which I describe on the web page of yaze-ag under
"Mounting Directories"
2003-12-20 Andreas Gerlich
I start with further development
TODO: I will fix the reread bug of a unix directory when you
give a CTRL-C at the command prompt or a CP/M program
resets the disk system over the BDOS function no. 37.
(bug described under the next section)
(look chapter 3 "Known Bugs"
and chapter 7 "Mounting Directories"
in yaze-ag.doc (or yaze-ag_doc.html))
2003-12-20 Andreas Gerlich
Version 2.01
Timothy Wagner and Carl Mascott reports a complex bug in yaze-ag-2.00.
I test also the old version yaze-1.00. This bug is also there (I take
the code to access directories from yaze-1.00). I found also an
another error in coherence with unix directories.
(look to the bug fixes described here).
* I add to the distribution the whole HTML documentation.
* generate a Makefile_cygwin to compile yaze-ag also
under the unix like environment "cygwin" under Windows :-)
* Put standalone windows binaries on the home page.
* The excecutable of the emulator is now
named yaze_bin. That was neccessary because
cygwin generates an exe-file (yaze_bin.exe) if
you give no extension. The old name yaze.bin was
not good for cygwin/windows. I also change this
in yaze.sh (which will be copied to "yaze" if
you make a "make install").
* I delete monitor.c_linux and monitor.c_solaris!
Now there is only one monitor.c. It can be compiled
under Solaris/Linux/FreeBSD/Cygwin.
* fix a terrible bug in function "readsector" in bios.c
which reads a sector from a disk file or a unix directory:
The file-cache which is used for accessing unix files
was not correctly handled.
That was a bug which crashes yaze-ag !!!
(reported by Timothy Wagner and Carl Mascott)
Have a look to yaze-ag.doc (or yaze-ag_doc.html) chapter
"3. Known Bugs" and "7. Mounting Directories" !!!
* fix an another terrible bug in function "mountdir" in monitor.c
which mounts directories to a drive under CP/M.
Now double names are correctly handled (like "Source.z80"
and "source.z80" which will be translated to "SOURCE.Z80"
under CP/M). In the code of yaze-2.00 (and yaze-1.10 also)
there was two directory entries with "SOURCE.Z80" created.
Now only one of the both unix-files (Source.z80 or source.z80)
gets an entry in the CP/M directory.
That was a bug which crashes yaze-ag, too !!!
Have a look to yaze-ag.doc chapter "3. Known Bugs" and
"7. Mounting Directories" !!!
* BUG: A mounted unix directory does not reread once more if you
give a CTRL-C (at the CCP) or a Program makes "disk resets" over
the BDOS function 37. Look chapter 3 "Known Bugs" and the
work around in and chapter 7 "Mounting Directories" in yaze-ag.doc
(or yaze-ag_doc.html)
2003-01-12 Andreas Gerlich
Version 2.00 (final release)
* I add the diskfile "Turbo-Modula-2" to the distribution
It contents the Turbo Modula 2 Compiler of Borland.
(The editor is adapted for the Linux console (25 lines, 80 columns).
It works also in a xterm (but xterm starts with 24 lines,
expand it to 25 lines))
* I made no changes (against the pre release) in the sources
(I change only the printing of the version)
2002-02-10 Andreas Gerlich
version 2.00 (pre release) for testing
* cdm.c can be compiled also under Linux
2001-11-04 Andreas Gerlich
Development Version YAZE-AG-1.20-15
* Frank D. Cringle don't accept my work. After a half year
of dicussion with him I decide to make a new project (look GPL)
and I call it
"Yet Another Z80 Emulator by AG"
or
"YAZE-AG"
* NEW: Memory Management Unit (MMU):
The MMU have 16 tables to 16 page pointers (page size 4 KB)
and adresses up to 1 MB.
* simz80.c: Optimizing: simz80 is faster than the version
of yaze-1.10.
NEW: I made the necessary changes to embed the MMU.
* NEW: I made the necessary changes to embed the MMU in
the whole system. I create the new module "mem_mmu.c/.h"
* NEW: I develop the BIOS3 (*.z80) and the yaze-bios (bios.c)
for yaze-ag:
* enlage bios.c to make available all necessary functions
for CP/M 3.1
* Idea: To create the Yaze-Control-Table (YCT) for
communication between the bios and yaze-bios.
* enlage BIOS3/yaze-bios to use the "Disc change feature"
of CP/M 3.1.
* implement xmove in yaze-bios (this enables disks with
sektor size > 128 Byte, the default sectorsize is now
2048 Bytes)
* implement Multi-I/O in yaze-bios (CP/M 3.1 reads/writes
more than one sektor in one read/write call)
* implement Date in yaze-bios
* NEW: I developed BOOTSYS a CPM3.SYS loader because the
CPMLDR/ZPM3LDR does not work with the big CPM3.SYS file.
* NEW: CP/M 3.1 runs on the Emulator:
I create the new boot file "yaze-cpm3.boot". It contents
BOOTSYS + CPM3.SYS (ZPM3 is used in CPM3.SYS; it's the
BDOS3 replacement of Simeon Cran) and is identical with
CPM3.COM/CPM3-OK.COM on drive A: (BOOT_UTIL).
The bios3 and the yaze-bios supports by the side of the
fundamental features for CP/M 3.1 also the special features
of CP/M 3.1 like date, xmove/move and multio (look "Features"
in yaze-ag.doc (yaze-ag_doc.html))
* NEW: To access unix directories are adapted for CP/M 3.1
* BUG: cdm.c (CP/M Disk Manager) can not compiled under Linux
(but under Solaris/FreeBSD/MacOS-X)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998-01-27 Frank D. Cringle
* simz80.pl: set the flags correctly for LD A,I/R and
CPI/CPIR/CPD/CPDR (reported by Sean Young).
* monitor.c (mountdir): fix fencepost error when setting cp[15],
as reported by Richard Hirst.
1998-01-25 Frank D. Cringle
* simz80.pl: change direct and indirect references to the RAM()
macro, because it now evaluates its operand more than once if MMU
is in use (contributed by Michael Haardt).
* yaze.c, simz80.h: Make BIOS optional and add MMU initialisation
(contributed by Michael Haardt).
Sun Apr 28 11:30:52 1996 Frank D. Cringle
* cdm.c (getblock): rename index to idx (avoids a warning about
shadowing index()).
(main): correct a type in the !USE_GNU_READLINE case.
Thu Apr 25 15:32:24 1996 Frank D. Cringle
* bios.c (constat, lststat): select() may modify timeval, so
reinitialise it.
(readsec,writesec): protect against undefined or unmounted disk.
(bios): Add BgiiFix.
* monitor.c (mount): use MAP_FILE flag in mmap() call (linux-ism?).
* yaze.c (load_cpm): correctly calculate available memory if
loadadr is specified.
* simz80.pl (CALLC): rename symbol adr to avoid warning msg.
* cdm.c (srchdir): ignore cpm-3 byte count.
