Re: Mix C 2.1 CP/M 80 download

["Bill Buckels" <bbuckels@mts.net>]

An alternate distribution of the Mix C 2.1 CP/M 80 compiler c/w the Mix ASM 
Utility is available for download at the following link:

http://www.cpm8680.com/mix/mix-c21-max.zip

Freek Heite has provided us with five ADT diskette images from the original 
Mix diskettes and these include the Mix ASM Utility. None of these is 
bootable.

Unzip with directories intact.

1. The diskette images are:

#1: Mix C - version 2.1.0 - CP/M - Apple II with Z80 - serial 
2036070849783 - disk 1 of 3 - (C) 1985 Mix Software, Inc.

#2: Mix C - version 2.1.0 - CP/M - Apple II with Z80 - disk 2 of 3 - (C) 
1985 Mix Software, Inc.

#3: Mix C - version 2.1.0 - CP/M - Apple II with Z80 - disk 3 of 3 - (C) 
1985 Mix Software, Inc.

#4: Mix Editor - version 1.1.0 - CP/M - Apple II with Z80 - serial 
1036070852192 - (C) 1985 Mix Software, Inc.

#5: Mix Asm Utility - version 1.1.0 - CP/M 2.x or 3.0 - Apple II with Z80 - 
serial 5036030356074 - (C) 1985 Mix Software, Inc.

2. Each diskette is also included as individual files in their respective 
subdirectories.

3. A myz80 disk image is included called MAXMIX21.DSK.

The point of the myz80 disk image is to use the compiler on a Windows 
machine or in an MS-DOS emulator to quickly compile and test programs before 
transferring them to a real CP/M machine.

Everything from these 5 diskette images has been placed together on the same 
disk image so no disk swapping is needed to use the compiler, the editor, or 
the ASM utility.

The Mix Editor (from disk 4) has been set-up as an ASCII compatible editor 
using SETEDIT and the SUBMIT files for the ASM utility (from disk 5) have 
been edited and the drive letters removed. The READ.ME for the ASM utility 
has been renamed to ASM.ME and the READ.ME for the editor has been renamed 
to EDIT.ME to avoid naming conflicts with the compiler READ.ME.

To use this disk image, assuming you have downloaded Lee Bradley's myz80 
tutorial (maxz80) from the following link:

http://primepuzzle.com/mouse/maxz80.zip

You can just place MAXMIX21.DSK and maxmix.bat in the maxz80 directory and 
run maxmix.bat from the command prompt in the maxz80 directory. This will 
set-up MAXMIX21.DSK as your C: drive in myz80.

4. Dan Wallace has provided us with a manual for the tools that came with 
this compiler. He painstakingly transcribed the entire tools section of his 
copy of the manual into a Word document which I converted to the pdf that is 
included in this zip file.
