Disk BASIC 1.2 with enhanced directory display

[zephyr]

Here's a copy of Tandy's Disk Extended Color BASIC 1.1 to which I have added an improved version of my superdos-like directory display with pause feature. I have also changed the version number to 1.2 to avoid confusion.


Regards,
Steve

EDIT: Version 2.0 is now available...
Version 2.0 of my enhanced directory display for Disk BASIC 1.1 now supports all (WIDTH 32, 40 and 80) CoCo 3 text modes.

EDIT: Version 2.0 archive updated 10th Jan, 2012
Added a small machine code program to the archive which patches the ROM in RAM on a real CoCo 3 or 64K CoCo 1/2. The program can be transfered to a real CoCo via PC audio output and saved to disk ready to be used whenever the enhanced directory display is needed.

EDIT: Version 2.0 archive updated 11th Jan, 2012
Added a CoCoNet 1.2x compatible version of the above-mentioned machine code program.

EDIT: Version 2.0 archive updated 15th Jan, 2012
Fixed a serious bug in the CoCoNet 1.2x compatible version.


EDIT: Version 2.1 is now available...
Directory no longer pauses when screen is full if there are no more files to display.

Did you do this by re-assembling the asm source or by patching the binary ?

Would it be possible to make the source to this patch available ?

Cheers.

I patched the binary because I don't have any source code that is suitable for re-assembling. I wish i did have the source code for all CoCo and Dragon ROMs .

Would it be possible to make the source to this patch available ?

Yes. I have added it to the archive and attached it to my original post.

I have the following if you are interested :

Dragon 32 / 64 combined source, may be assembled to produce any of the 3 roms, D32, D64-rom mode, D64-ram mode.
Dragon Dos
Super Dos (both the original and my port to run on the RS-DOS hardware).
Tandy RS-DOS extracted from the 'unraveled' series and fixed so it assembles.

Simon, would it be ok to upload these to the wiki ?

Cheers.

Thanks Phill. I am indeed interested in those.

Phill - Feel free to create relevant pages and upload these sources - but please also take the credit for the effort you have put in to create them.
