Descriptions:

C128TVX2.LBR -

This is a version of the TVX video-oriented editor configured for the
Commodore 128 running CP/M 3.0.  Executable .COM file, source code and
manual are included.  The program would be usable as-is on other CP/M
systems which support ADM-31 terminal control sequences, but would
have to be recompiled to support other terminals.  In this version,
text buffer sizing is automatic as a function of available TPA, so it
will work with RSXs active (unlike a previous version, TVX-C128).  The
name of the LBR has been changed to allow a version number to be included
to avoid confusion with the older version.

C8FILCPY.LBR -

This is specifically designed for allowing a Commodore 128 user
with a single drive (yes, they do exist) to copy CP/M files without
unnecessary disk swapping.  This program, unlike PIP or SWEEP, buffers
several files between disk swaps, in an effort to mimimize disk swaps.
It uses virtual drive E:.  Source and .COM file included.

C1571-2.COM -

This version, dated 24-Feb-86, is a replacement for C1571.COM.  It
is a disk write speedup utility for the Commodore 1571 disk drive
running with CP/M 3.0 on a C128.  The original one uploaded is an
early Commodore release which has two bugs: MFM operation of the
drive is damaged, and the drive motor refuses to shut off after a
write.  This version fixes those bugs.  Commodore says it's ok to
distribute this, and seeks wide availability.
