FujiNet NOS v0.7.1

Bug fix:

SAVE command start address low byte defaulted to $00 and was not being updated to use the command-line argument. So it worked only when the start address fell on a page boundary.

FujiNet NOS v0.7.0

Added 3 commands

• COPY copy a single file between mount points or the same mount point or to a devices such as P1:)
• DUMP hex dump range of memory
• FILL populate a range of memory with a single byte value

Implemented a transient/overlay command process. This reduces MEMLO from $1B00 to $1800 and allows adding new commands without horrifically impacting memory usage.

The following existing commands were modified to run as transient/overlay commands.

• AUTORUN
• BASIC
• DIR
• HELP
• NTRANS
• REENTER
• SAVE
• XEP

CIO File Open channel usage has been improved. Commands that use CIO File Open will now search for the next available CIO channel and use it rather than rudely closing a needed channel prior to use.
This corrects a problem that prevented, say, loading an executable during batch processing.

Added or extended help documentation for:

• HELP REF/COLORS
• HELP ASM/BRANCH
• HELP NOS/COPY or NCOPY
• HELP NOS/DUMP
• HELP NOS/FILL

FujiNet NOS v0.6.0-alpha

1. Added binary SAVE command. SAVE [N[n]:]filename,START,END[,INITAD][,RUNAD]
2. Removed NOBASIC command.
3. Added BASIC <ON|OFF> that switches address space $A000..$BFFF between RAM and ROM on XL/XE machines. Alias is ROM <ON|OFF>
4. Border color is set to gray when in NOS and address space $A000..$BFFF is pointing to ROM, black when pointing to RAM.
5. Corrections and additions to online HELP documentation.

FujiNet NOS v0.5.0-alpha

1. Added simple extrinsic commands. That is, a command that is entered and not matched to any of the intrinsic commands will be attempted as a binary load from the current N: device. For example, entering TEDIT will resolve to LOAD N:TEDIT.COM
2. Intrinsic commands are no longer case sensitive. dir === DIR. Though not a feature of NOS, this works for extrinsic commands, too. So tedit === TEDIT === LOAD N:TEDIT.COM.
3. Updated HELP doc for NTRANS regarding two-way translation for modes 1 (CR) and 2 (LF).

fujinet-nos-v0.4.2-alpha

Very minor feature update to NOS.

The AUTORUN batch file can be bypassed by holding the OPTION console switch when:

• (if booting with BASIC disabled) the FUJINET NOS banner appears - or -
• (if booted with BASIC enabled) switching from BASIC to DOS the first time.

FujiNet NOS v0.4.1-alpha

4th Work-in-progress release

See README for commands.

New commands:

Command	Description
AUTORUN	Define, clear, or query a batch file to execute at DOS entry
XEP	Toggle between 40/80 column mode with XEP80 peripheral

Changes:

• Batch execution command changed from SOURCE to SUBMIT (@ and SUBMIT still exist as aliases).
• Miscellaneous changes in the online HELP documents.

Fixes:

• Two bugs in LOAD command have been resolved.
  • Some binaries were being read beyond its end-of-file resulting in a loop of error code 136s.
  • Payload headers that spanned cache boundaries caused memory corruption.

FujiNet NOS v0.3.0-alpha

3rd Work-in-progress release

See README for commands.

New commands:

Command	Description
@ or SOURCE	Batch execute NOS commands in text file
@NOSCREEN	Inhibit echo of commands during batch process
@SCREEN	Enable echo of commands during batch process
PRINT	Print text string during batch process
REM	Comment line in batch process
TYPE	Stream text file to screen
HELP	Stream help page to screen

Experimenting with aliases.

Alias	Definition
CD
CWD	NCD
PWD	NPWD
ERASE	DEL
ERA	DEL
X	LOAD
REE	REENTER
REN	RENAME

Changes:

• Modified start of LNBUFF from $0580 to $0582. This allows for single-character commands like X or @ while avoiding crossing the lower boundary of LNBUFF during command-line processing.

Known Issues:

• LOAD does not correctly process all multi-stage binary files.
• SOURCEing a binary file will clobber memory used by FujiNet NOS.
• When SOURCEing a batch file, some NOS commands cause the batch process to terminate prematurely.

FujiNet NOS v0.2.0-alpha
