HEXCOM in RomWBW

[Michael Dadswell]

Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me about the hexcom.cpm file in CPM/3 (slice 3 of the RomWBW combo disk)? Why does it have the .cpm extension?  The CPM/3 user guide talks about hexcom.com. 

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Cheers,

Mike

Weird.  I don't know how that happened.  I occasionally see a .cpm extension on CP/M applications.  I kind of assumed it was to avoid a restriction that some old BBS' had on uploading .COM files, but not sure.

Regardless, I will fix this in the RomWBW distribution.  In the interim, you can just rename it to .COM:

A>RENAME HEXCOM.COM=HEXCOM.CPM

Thank you for bringing this up.

Wayne, 

Thanks for the very quick response.  Thanks also for the whole RomWBW project, it's an outstanding piece of work which adds tremendously to the world of retro hardware.

Cheers,

Mike
