QSPUTSYS CP/M System Generation Utility
QSPUTSYS provides the combined facilities of the standard CP/M MOVCPM and SYSGEN, and
supports all available disk devices under Quikstor CP/M. QSPUTSYS can be used to generate a new
maximum sized (64K in most cases) CP/M system, complete with the proper boot loader and BIOS loader,
and place the system onto the system tracks of any floppy disk or Winchester partition. The
BIOS.SYS file may also be copied if desired. The proper command syntax for QSPUTSYS is:
QSPUTSYS (?) (sourcedrive:)(biosfile) (TO destinationdrive:)
where sourcedrive: is the drive from which the BIOS.SYS file is to be taken, biosfile is the name of the
BIOS.SYS file, if other than BIOS.SYS, and destinationdrive: is the drive to which the new system is to
be written. When either a source drive or biosfile is given, the BIOS file will be taken from the
specified drive. If neither the source drive nor biosfile is given then A:BIOS.SYS will be used. If
a destination drive is specified, then the new system and BIOS will be written to that drive. For
example:
QSPUTSYS ? (cr)
Will cause a display of the proper command format.
QSPUTSYS(cr )
Will cause QSPUTSYS to enter the command mode, and you will be prompted for
the BIOS file, and destination drive to which the system and BIOS are to be
written.
QSPUTSYS B:(cr)
Will cause the file B:BIOS.SYS to be loaded, and you will then be prompted for
the destination drive to which the system and BIOS are to be written.
QSPUTSYS C:NEWBIOS.TST(cr)
Will cause the file C:NEWBIOS.TST to be loaded, and you will then be
prompted for the destination drive to which the system and BIOS are to be
written.
