DA Datasystems Catalog Disk
This disk contains the catalog of a former Apple /// vendor - D.A.
Datasystems
We've done this for a couple of reasons. One is historical. It's
important to preserve the information about the products listed here.
Secondly, this company made an important and lasting contribution to the ///
community and deserves that recognition. We also think it's interesting
to read the descriptions... and see what the going prices were just a few
years ago.
Please note that we have almost every D.A. Datasystem program in our
library. Daryl Anderson placed all his programs into the PD when he decided
to make the switch to Amiga in the late 1980s.

THE RETRIEVER will recover inadvertently deleted files on your
Apple /// floppy diskettes or hard drives. In most cases the
lost data is fully and reliably restored.
If you delete a file and then alter or save other files on that
disk, it is possible that parts of the disk which previously
contained data from your deleted file will be over-written
by the new data, and thus permanently lost. THE RETRIEVER
may not be able to recover all or part of a file if it is not
used immediately after the file is deleted. Since this cannot
always be the case, THE RETRIEVER has facilities to assist you
in recovering partial files under many circumstances.

BOOTABLE?: Bootable
On Side One:
Power Cat is a disk librarian which will sort and catalog
over 5000 individual files and programs scattered over up to 500 floppy
diskettes or on Profile or other hard disk. The Power Cat report can
be used to quickly locate current or correct versions of files scattered
around your not always perfectly organized filing system.
The programs will produce a table of contents of all directories and
sub-directories which have been scanned followed by a listing, sorted
by file name, of all files selected. Each file will carry a reference
number indicating the specific directory in the table of contents
which it is associated with. This format allows more concise and
readable reporting.
Sorting is accomplished with a high-speed assembler language quiksort
routine which effectively eliminates sort time as a performance
factor.
USER.MANUAL: Complete instructions.
On Side Two:
Basic XRF is a utility program that will produce a Sorted
Cross-Reference of all Variables in any Business Basic program -
showing all variables used in the program followed by a list of every
program line that variable is used in. It is written in a combination
of Basic and Assembler and uses sophisticated hashing and linked-list
algorithms for speed and compactness. Compiled under Basic GTO to
increase speed up to 62%.
BASIC XRF runs automatically at the prompt, or may be run using the
Menu.Maker program by highlighting "RUN.XRF" and pressing return.
The program will prompt you for the full pathname of the program to
be cross-referenced, e.g. .PROFILE/BASIC/TEST/MYPGM (This file should not
be "Locked"). XREF will then proceed to process through your program
displaying the current line number being processed and a clock-line
display to verify that something is happening. The program will finally
prompt you for an output destination for the cross-reference listing.
This may be a file or listing device such as .PRINTER.

PDS NAME: Basic Extension
Disk ID: APPLE-3-WAP-DAD-08
BOOTABLE?: Bootable
Basic Extension is a series of Basic Invokables placed into the
Public Domain by Foxware, Inc. of Salt Lake City, UT. Basic Extension
can: speed up programs; save disk space; add new functions; decrease
development time. Routines include Matrix R/W, Block and Ftype;
Move and Searrarray; Con, Reboot, Reset, Bit and Upshift.
Side One: Boot disk and Basic Extension Invokables.
Invokables on Side One :
BIT.INV : Bit.inv consists of two routines: 'Band' and 'Bor'. Band
performs a Binary AND of two integer numbers. Bor provides a
Binary OR.
BLOCK.INV: Block.inv consists of two routines: Wblock (write block)
and Rblock (read block). Their purpose is to allow reading and
writing of 'blocks' of information from disk drives.
CON.INV : One of the two routines included in Con is 'Buff'. It
provides the ability to: 1. Clear the type ahead buffer of all
characters that have not yet been processed. 2. Set the size of
the type ahead buffer to any length between 0 & 127
characters.
FYTPE.INV: Ftype consists of two routines: Gftype (get file type) and
Cftype (change file type). They allow your program
to inspect the type of a file and/or change it.
MATRW.INV : Matrw.inv is a group of procedures which provide high
speed disk access, and can reduce disk storage usage by
more than 30%. The name 'Matrw.inv' stands for 'Matrix
Read Write Invokable'.
MOVE.INV : Move contains two routines: Movenum (Move numeric) and
Movestr (Move string). They both perform similar functions.
Move works on numeric arrays while Movestr works on string
arrays. Their purpose is to move strings of arrays.
REBOOT.INV : Reboot zeros all memory, clears the screen, displays "INSERT
SYSTEM DISKETTE & REBOOT"in 40 column black and white, and
hangs. Hold down the CONTROL key and press reset to reboot.
RESET.INV : Reset.inv is an invokable modual that provides the ability
to enable and disable the RESET and CONTROL-RESET
functions. If the resets are disabled, pressing RESET or
CONTROL and RESET together will have no effect.
SEARARRAY.INV :Seararray searches a string array for a specified group of
characters. It is similar in function to INSTR, but acts on a
entire array instead of only one string. Also it can
ignore differences between upper and lower case letters
during the search.
UPSHIFT.INV :Upshift is a routine that changes all of the lower
letters in a string to upper case. Only letters are affected.
Numbers and symbols are not changed.

BUGS & PROBLEMS ***
(1) Although we note it in the documentation we re-iterate it here that
the PWR.KEYS file (the main module) must remain the FIRST file in the
/MODULES directory. Some folks regularly use the Public Domain
"Directory Sorter" program on their entire (hard) disk. Doing this
might, for instance, sort Asci.Tbl first and cause Power Keys to hang
when entered. You may, if you wish, rename PWR.KEYS to AA.PWRKY or
somesuch which will sort first. The renaming will not affect program
function.
(2) Some folks appear to be running into problems with QuikScrn in
particular when used in conjunction with the Titan "3+2e" system and its
.RAM driver. This appears to be caused by the large size of the .RAM
driver.
(3) The QuikScreen "At-Curs" function is no longer supported.

Memory Usage : 3.5K
REQUIRES POWERKEYS DM+ (3SIG PD DISK APPLE-3-WAP-DAD-09)
Brief description :
PowerScreen is a screen dump utility for use with Darryl Anderson's
Powerkeys utility for the Apple ///. It allows you to dump either the
current Power Keys screen (e.g. Keymap, Notepad, Ascii Table) or the user
program screen (e.g. Help screens in Apple Writer, Driver setup in SCP,
menu in /// EZ Pieces).
Functions:
(1) You can print the entire screen or any rectangle that you define with the
arrow keys.
(2) You can abort the dump in case you specified the wrong file name or
device name.
(3) You can suppress carriage returns and/or linefeeds. If you suppress
carriage returns, PowerScreen will add a space where the carriage return
would have been. This is so you can dump a paragraph from one program
and have your favorite word processor (re)define the margins.
** NOTE - This was originally a Royaltyware offering by Tim Harrington
through TAU - the Third Apple Users Group.
