System Disk 002. Working with the pause command.

This is the second of “Dinkit’s” 50 or so system disks. “System Disk 02” is a copy of “system disk 01” with a wait command add. You will find that this WAIT command , waits the sane amount of time whether running on a slowest PC/XT computer or a very fast PC computer. This is a very badly needed command that is missing in Ms-Dos. No need to have special CPU speed selector button. ( like the turbo button) or special soft ware to regulate the programs speed. We will start using this command is “System disk 03”. There is still no video screen, no keyboard, no sound, no nothing. But this starts changing in the next System Disk to come. If you conceder yourself a middle of the road user, don’t download it. You won’t like. It is awful! However if you are a serious user/experimenter and you are one that dabbles in some programing, you might want to take a closer look. There is a “do_program” procedure where you can add your code and experiments. There is the WAIT command to play with, but when you will get board with it, add Wword from “System disk 01”. then   place a pause commands between key strokes. “System disk 03” has the first I.O. tool added to it, the PC speaker
