TextFile

1. DEP-Files.

All DEP-Source Files have a filename-extension of '.MAC'.
Those files must be assembled by Microsofts MACRO-80 Assembler.
An example :

	>M80 EENTRY=B:EENTRY/M/Z

The above example assumes the source-file to be on drive B and
will create a file with an extension of .REL on drive A. 

2. DEP-Files.

2.1 Filenames.

The first letter of the DEP-Filename denotes its use with respect
to linking and runtime-modul. All filenames starting with an 'F'
are to be used to form a formatting-Modul (Modes `Format' and
'Format-Update) and all filenames starting with the letter 'E`
are to be used to form the entry-modul (for all modes except
'format' and 'format-update'. One modul , the CCB.MAC is used with
both kinds of files.

2.2 DEP-Files.

The DEP consists of the following files :

-EUSRINT.MAC  interface to TKDES in non-formatting modes
-FUSRINT.MAC  interface to TKDES in formatting modes
-EFMTINT.MAC  format initializing in non-formatting modes
-FFMTINT.MAC  format checking in formatting modes
-EENTRY.MAC   keystroke processor in non-formatting modes
-FFORMAT.MAC  format-entry modul
-EEOFPRC.MAC  end-of-field processing in non-formatting modes
-EGENSUB.MAC  general subroutines 
-FGENSUB.MAC  general subroutines (formatting modes)
-CCB.MAC      common control block
-EMSGTAB.MAC  german messages (non formatting modes)
-EMSGTABE.MAC english messages (non formatting modes)
-FMSGTAB.MAC  german messages (formatting modes)
-FMSGTABE.MAC english messages (formatting modes)

3. TKDES-Files.

All TKDES-Source Files have a filename-extension of '.BAS'.
Those files must be compiled by Microsofts BASIC COMPILER
(Version 5.0). An example :

	>BASCOM (CR)
	*B:FORMAT,=FORMAT/E/Z/N/S

The example above assumes the source-file to be on drive A and
will create a file with an extension of .REL on drive B.
The TKDES consists of the following  files :

-FORMAT.BAS   creating and modifying of formats
-ENTRYME.BAS  main menue of TKDES plus other functions
-ENTRY.BAS    entry and modifying of data
-VERIFY.BAS   verifying and printing of data
-CHAININF.BAS chaining of the various moduls
-ARBSTAT.DEP  de-statistics and file control▶8a◀-DEPFORM.DEP  protected system formats


3. LINKING A COMPLETE TKDES-SYSTEM.

3.1 The modules should be linked with the PLINK II-Linker (by Phoenix
    Software Associates), Version 1.08. The Microsoft Linker L80
    can not be used as it is not disc-oriented and uses to much
    of the memory capacity.

3.2 All Files (DEP and TKDES) with an extension of .REL must be
    located on drive A.
    Drive B should have enough room to accomodate the run-time
    moduls (.COM).

3.3 Linking the FORMAT.COM modul.

    >PLINK-II (CR)
    *OUT B:FORMAT (CR)
    *FI FORMAT,FUSRINT,FFORMAT,FFMTINT,FGENSUB,CCB,FMSGTAB; (CR)

3.4 Linking the ENTRYME.COM modul

    *OUT B:ENTRYME (CR)
    *FI ENTRYME,FUSRINT,FFORMAT,FFMTINT,FGENSUB,CCB,FMSGTAB; (CR)

3.5 Linking the ENTRY.COM modul

    *OUT B:ENTRY (CR)
    *FI ENTRY,EUSRINT,EFMTINT,EENTRY,EEOFPRC,EGENSUB,CCB,EMSGTAB; (CR)

3.6 Linking the VERIFY.COM modul

    *OUT B:VERIFY (CR)
    *FI VERIFY,EUSRINT,EFMTINT,EENTRY,EEOFPRC,EGENSUB,CCB,EMSGTAB; (CR)

3.7 Linking the CHAININF.COM modul

    *OUT B:CHAININF (CR)
    *FI CHAININF; (CR)

4. The 2 TKDES-Files ARBSTAT.DEP and DEPFORM.DEP must be moved
   to drive A.


5. Starting the System.

Now with all .COM files on drive B and the two .DEP files on 
drive A the system can be started by:

	>B:CHAININF

or by modifying BDOS so as to call B:CHAININF automatically after
each boot/warm boot (MENU-SYSTEM).

6. A complete TKDES consists of two diskettes. The diskette for
drive B should contain the following files :

-FORMAT.COM
-ENTRYME.COM
-ENTRY.COM▶8a◀-VERIFY.COM
-CHAININF.COM

The diskette for drive B should contain :

-ARBSTAT.DEP
-DEPFORM.DEP

After starting the system another file will be created on drive
A : 'CHAININF.DEP (contains chaining information)
It is recommended to set all of the above files to SYSTEM-files
by the following CP/M command '>STAT B:*.* $SYS' and '>STAT *.* $SYS'.
That way the files have minimum  protection against unauthorized
use as they do not appear in the CP/M directory.


7. Keyboard customization.

To adapt a different keyboard , which uses different coding,
the equates in the files 'FFORMAT.MAC' and 'EENTRY.REL' need
to be adjusted. Do not modify the names of the equates, but
only the assigned values.

8. Changing code-sets.

to change the code-set from german to english or any other,
the routine CHRCNV in the modules EGENSUB.MAC and FGENSUB.MAC
need to be changed to the appropriate crt-codes for certain
characters (for the german code-set the umlauts,paragraph and 
hyphen are translated there).
