Included in this package is everything you need to set up and run QP/M
using MYZ80.


Configure MYZ80
---------------
All you need do is set a DOS environment variable as follows:

SET MYZ80BOOT=<full-path-to-QPM-directory>\BOOT.QPM

For example, if you unZIPped this file into D:\QPM, then you would set a
DOS environment variable as

SET MYZ80BOOT=D:\QPM\BOOT.QPM

I recommend just putting this single line into a batch file called
QPM.BAT in the MYZ80 directory.  Then, you just run the QPM.BAT file
prior to running the CPM.EXE

Note that two boot files are provided: BOOT.QPM and BOOT31.QPM.  The
former gives you the standard 16 user areas (0-15) while the latter
gives access to the full 32 user areas (0-31).


Setting up the CP/M environment for QP/M
----------------------------------------
In order to take advantage of the time/date tracking offered by QP/M,
you need to "stamp" each disk individually.  This is done within the
QP/M environment within MYZ80.

1.  Run CPM.EXE (using one of the supplied QP/M boot files)
2.  Import QPMFILES.LBR and NULU.COM into A0:
3.  Extract all files from QPMFILES.LBR using NULU
4.  Run QSTAMPV.COM to stamp the disk

When stamping is completed, all existing files are given an empty date.
Any new files created and/or modified will be tracked with the
appropriate date and time.


Documentation for QP/M
----------------------
In the modern era of IBM-compatible PCs, few computers run solely under
DOS; thus, all of the QP/M documentation has been migrated to PDF files.
The three documents you need are:

- QP/M Installation and Supplements Guide (QPM27.PDF)
- QP/M Users Guide (QCP27.PDF)
- QP/M Interface Guide (QDOS27.PDF)
