Agreed! That's actually one of the reasons I hadn't found the M100SIG
terribly useful in the past. Turns out there's a trick to it: The
description for all the files in each section is in the idx.txt file. For
example, 10_idx.txt
<https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG/blob/main/M100SIG/Lib-10-TANDY200/10_idx.txt>
answers
the "WHAT THE HECK IS IT?" question like so:
[73327,1653] James Yi
ADSM.200
Text, Bytes: 9250, Count: 78, 02-Aug-88
Title :
Keywords: 200 ADSM HEX ASSEMBLER DISASSEMBLER MONITOR 8085 MACHINE
LANGUAGE XBNK
Assembler/disassembler/monitor, written in machine language for Tandy
200. Features external device access and conditional assembly. Read
ADSM.DOC
for instructions.
ADSM.DO is the same as ADSM.200, but HXFER is not needed as it
encodes the data in a BASIC program instead of a hexfile.
See also ADMINS.200 and ADSMLO.DO.
Checksum = 528189
Not perfect, but a lot better than the nothing that was in the .DOC file!
