NEW$: T:This is the Diagnostics and Trouble-Shooting menu, the one that T:allows you to verify the quality of both your computer equipment T:and your magnetic media. You use this menu when you want to try T:to recover data from damaged or unreliable media, and when you T:have to resort to using an unSUPERVYZed system. IT IS STRONGLY T:RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY VERY EXPERIENCED OPERATORS USE THIS MENU. T: T:You can choose among the items on the list by typing a number T:between zero and ten when the computer asks for your choice. For T:some choices, the computer may ask you for more information.

This T:procedure uses the "DUMP" program written by Sam J. Singer and T:donated to the CP/M User's Group. This disk validation leaves T:all data unharmed.

This capability is both very T:useful and extremely hazardous. If you do not know what an FCB T:looks like, and if you don't know what a Group-Cluster is, save T:yourself some grief and stay away from this function. T: T:The DUMP22 program invoked by this function contains a list of its T:commands. If you "EDIT" a sector, you specify the address within T:the sector where you want to begin making changes by entering a four- T:digit address and then press "RETURN". The current contents of that T:address are displayed, and you may either enter a hexadecimal value T:to replace the current value, you may press "RETURN" to leave it alone, T:or you may enter a period (".") followed by "RETURN" to end substitution. T: T:To stop editing a sector, enter the command "WRITE" to update the disk T:or "STOP" to leave the disk unaffected. T: T: J:*MORE *MENU03 C:X=X-1 J(X):*MENU04 R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 3 T:Function 3, "Direct Operating System Commands", allows you to T:send your own ad-hoc instructions to your Operating System, but T:via Epic's SUPER-Console-Command-Processor. This means that you T:can send multiple logical commands at one time by separating each T:pair of commands with a concatenation-symbol ("|"), and you can T:specify the console-input a program shall receive by enclosing it T:within braces "{like this}". Control-characters within the braces T:are specified by the caret ("^") preceeding the uppercase or lowercase T:character, like "^z" for control-Z. T: T:The extra intrinsic ("built-in") functions of the SUPERCCP are: T: ; - treats the rest of the command as displayable comments T: GET - loads transient program into TPA without executing it T: GO - executes program in TPA and can take command parameters T: LOG - makes the specified drive "on-line" T: UNYZ - disengages the SUPERVYZ and SUPERCCP programs T: WAIT - asks for and waits until a key is pressed T: J:*MORE *MENU04 C:X=X-1 J(X):*MENU05 R:THIS IS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN FUNCTION 4 T:Function 4, "Disengage SUPERVYZ and SUPERCCP", removes the menu T:control from your computer system, leaving you totally at the T:mercy of the Operating System. Once this function is invoked, T:the SUPERVYZ system may be reengaged by loading and running the T:"SUPERCCP" program. T: T:This drastic action is sometimes necessary if you have a program T:that requires your entire memory space.
