This command first calls the ^QH command, to allow the operator to ‘tag’ the file. (N.B. This returns the cursor to the START of text, so that the tag will be printed at the start of the file). The operator is then asked whether he wants the pages numbered. If the answer is yes he must then select the title to be printed at the head of each page, which may be either:
a) Blank
b) The File name as displayed on the top line of the screen.
c) Enter his own title. (20 Characters max.)
In order to accommodate these changes, my customised version of Gempen has grown by about half a K. All overlays still work satisfactorily however, and the program runs on Nascom systems with IVC/SVC and Gemini Keyboards. It has not been tried with a Nascom keyboard, and will NOT run with a Nascom screen. If the system does NOT support a Clock, Bit 0 of VIDMEMFLG must be set accordingly, or the program will crash. The customisation locations for Clock and Printer support are described in the notes that I have written to support the modifications.
Anyone interested in obtaining a copy of the modified version and notes can telephone me on the number at the start of this article to discuss details. I will need a disk with your copy of GEMPEN on it so that I can serialize the patched version, since I would be infringing the original authors’ copyright otherwise. ●
