This program is offered free of charge. It is not, however, public
|
|
domain. There is a distinction!
|
|
|
|
Following are some VERY brief notes on the ANIX operating system. This
|
|
version of ANIX is a shell for ProDOS/8 (or ProDOS 1.x.1 etc), and runs
|
|
on a II+, //e or IIgs. A nicely printed manual with a disk is available
|
|
for $25.00 (printing and mailing costs) from
|
|
|
|
HAL Labs
|
|
18942 Dallas
|
|
Perris, CA 92370
|
|
|
|
The manual is 200 pages+, and the disk has source code for many of the
|
|
extrinsics. If attention warrants it, I can post the manual; however, it
|
|
would take hours to download, and cost you lots. Hobbe's choice. If you
|
|
want to print your own manual, it is available on disk for $7.50 (one
|
|
disk with ANIX, extrinsics and manual).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, on to the good stuff!
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A Brief History:
|
|
|
|
The original ANIX (version 1.0) was a shell for DOS 3.3, written by
|
|
Randall Hyde to support his Lazer Pascal and other projects. The name
|
|
is derived from
|
|
Apple uNIX
|
|
which is not to say that it is UNIX. It supported I/O redirection, EXEC
|
|
files with parameters, user-written extrinsics (utilities) etc.
|
|
|
|
The current ANIX v2.2 is a shell for ProDOS/8, also written by Randall
|
|
Hyde (and modified by yours truly) mainly to provide an environment for
|
|
the LISA v3.1 assembler. It also supports I/O redirection
|
|
|
|
=PRINT FILE >OUTFILE
|
|
=PRINT FILE >.P {printer}
|
|
=PRINT <.C >FILE {from COM to a file}
|
|
|
|
(PRINT is an extrinsic used to print text files).
|
|
|
|
ANIX v2.x has replaceable console drivers, so it works the same with
|
|
Apple 40 column
|
|
Apple 80 column
|
|
Videx and Ultraterm 80x24, 80x48, 128x24
|
|
Wizard 80 column
|
|
It has a fairly complete cursor editing package (insert/delete char,
|
|
insert/delete line, clear EOLN/EOP, etc) that is consistent across any
|
|
video device that has a console driver written for it
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To use ANIX:
|
|
|
|
Make a disk with
|
|
|
|
PRODOS {your version of ProDOS}
|
|
ANIX.SYSTEM {the ANIX system}
|
|
EXTRINSICS {make a directory for extrinsics}
|
|
PRINT {put extrinsics in here}
|
|
COPY
|
|
INIT
|
|
etc etc
|
|
|
|
ANIX is a command-line processor, so anything you type will first be
|
|
processed internally; if it is an intrinsic (internal command) like
|
|
CATALOG {or CAT}
|
|
PREFIX
|
|
DELETE
|
|
ONLINE
|
|
SAVE
|
|
etc, then ANIX will execute the command and return to the prompt.
|
|
Otherwise, it will look for an extrinsic (external command) on the disk.
|
|
It first looks in the current directory, then it looks in the directory
|
|
called EXTRINSICS on the root of the current volume.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Intrinsic commands
|
|
|
|
Notes: all char output is to standard out (may be redirected)
|
|
all char input is from standard in (may be redirected)
|
|
all numbers (addresses, etc) are in HEX
|
|
|
|
BRK
|
|
transfer control to Apple monitor
|
|
note: on IIgs, do a "3<ctrlP>" to reset video hooks
|
|
to return to ANIX, do A003G (in bank 00!)
|
|
|
|
CATALOG <pathname>
|
|
|
|
do catalog of directory <pathname>, or (if <pathname> is omitted),
|
|
of current prefixed directory
|
|
|
|
CLOSE
|
|
|
|
will close any open files (if an error left some open)
|
|
|
|
DATE
|
|
|
|
prints the current date
|
|
|
|
DELETE <pathname>
|
|
|
|
delete <pathname>. Currently, will not delete a non-empty directory
|
|
|
|
EXEC <pathname>
|
|
|
|
execute text commands from the text file <pathname>. Continues until
|
|
error or end of file
|
|
|
|
LOAD <pathanme> <addr>
|
|
|
|
loads <pathname> at <addr>. If <addr> is omitted, will load file at
|
|
address in AUXTYPE (usually the save address).
|
|
|
|
LOCK <switches> <pathname>
|
|
|
|
sets various lock attributes for <pathname>
|
|
=LOCK -rw MYFILE {lock read and write access}
|
|
=LOCK MYFILE {lock all except read access}
|
|
|
|
ONLINE
|
|
|
|
lists all volumes online, and slots where they are located
|
|
|
|
PREFIX <pathanme>
|
|
|
|
sets system prefix to <pathname> or (if blank) shows current prefix
|
|
|
|
RENAME <oldpath> <newpath>
|
|
|
|
rename <oldpath> to be <newpath>. Will not move file between
|
|
subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
RUN <addr>
|
|
|
|
will do a JSR to the given address.
|
|
|
|
SAVE <pathname> <addr> <len>
|
|
|
|
save file on disk from memory, starting with <addr>, and file length
|
|
<len>.
|
|
|
|
SYSSAVE <pathname> <addr> <len>
|
|
|
|
similar, except that instead of making a BIN file, it makes a SYS
|
|
file
|
|
|
|
TIME
|
|
|
|
prints the current time
|
|
|
|
UNLOCK
|
|
|
|
unlock the specified file attributes. See LOCK.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ANIX supports the idea of logical devices. All disk devices are named
|
|
|
|
.dN
|
|
|
|
By default
|
|
|
|
.d1 disk in slot 6, drive 1
|
|
.d2 " " slot 6, drive 2
|
|
.d3 slot 5, drive 1
|
|
.d4 slot 5, drive 2
|
|
.d5 slot 7, drive 1
|
|
.d6 slot 7, drive 2
|
|
.d7 slot 2, drive 1
|
|
.d8 slot 2, drive 2
|
|
|
|
If you didn't know (or care to know) the name of a disk, you could
|
|
just say
|
|
|
|
=CATALOG .d1
|
|
|
|
to get a catalog of the disk in drive .d1. The drive convention is
|
|
supported in all ANIX intrinsics, and extrinsics can use it by calling
|
|
the routine PARSENAM (which also does all checking for valid ProDOS
|
|
naming etc).
|
|
|
|
The printer device is .P
|
|
The communication device is .C
|
|

Extrinsics
|
|
|
|
|
|
PRINT <switches> <file1> <switches> <file2> ...

|
-# number each line

|

|
|
|
|
COPY <pathname> <pathname>
|
|
|
|
