QuickCMD is a new shell-like user interface for disc-based Amstrad CPC computers. The initial goal of this software is to provide a faster way to browse disc content and launch programs. Usually, an Amstrad CPC user tends to use BASIC prompt to first display the disc content to retrieve a filename then manually launch a program. While this process is OK and functional, this can quickly become a boring task when there is a need to browse multiple discs. Additionally to that, this program also features some interesting commands to manage disc content that are usually not accessible from BASIC prompt. This is only possible thanks to the low-level management of a disc content, that directly read and writes sectors instead of using functionalities provided by default with the firmware. Many formats are supported, including DATA, SYSTEM and PARADOS. Due to that, disc operations are faster than the ones accessible from BASIC. Finally, QuickCMD is really respectful regarding the system. It has a very small memory footprint, and can be easily extended with already-existing RSXs (Resident System eXtension). It also features a char display routine that is faster than the standard one provided by the firmware, so commands generally performs faster than their equivalents under BASIC.

Page créée en 085 millisecondes et consultée 1729 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
