Parameter Construction Set v2.0

I bought this a long time ago, but I don't have the instructions to it, It has a whole disk scanner, and a template editor, but what the hell does the whole disk scan do? yes you input the start and end tracks, then when its done it just exists, it doesn't even scan another disk for changes!, and the template editor, you press H for help and you can read in a sector, but then what ? and when you create a parameter, the file it makes does what ?!?!?!

PLEASE does anyone have the instructions for this.

(sorry Jim , didn't know where to post this)

I don't have the documentation for this program, and it's been probably since 1988 that I have seen this program running!

I remember there is a compare feature that lets you scan one disk and compare it to another. This is so you can scan an original disk, and then scan a disk where a parameter was applied, and then create your own parameter program with a menu.

When you create a parameter the file it makes is one that you can LOAD and RUN to write the parameter to a copied disk.

Sure, but it only scans one disk, yes you can create a parameter, and it saves onto the disk, but it does nothing !, I made changes to the directory and had it scan that, and then the parm did nothing after creation. the whole disk scanner only scans one time, and only one disk. Maybe somebody has the instructions.

You sure had fun back in the day, so did I, I miss all the cat and mouse action !

today they just throw ram and processor speed at everything, nothing is elegant.

I think you have to press a function key or something. I will see if I can find a copy and try it.
