I did it for convenience. I’m still learning github so I’m not totally sure what the limitations are.
When I send a program to the 8201 or M100, I use the TERM program and select Download. I’ve learned from this group that it is best to drop the speed to 600 when sending data to these machines. The file then gets saved as a .DO. I fire up BASIC, load the .DO file, then save it and it is back to a .BA. The disadvantage of this method is that the program will temporarily exist as both a .DO and a .BA. For larger programs, this could be an issue. I suppose I could get around this problem by doing a CSAVE and capturing the resulting audio file as a .WAV. I haven’t tried this yet, but I have seen some people distribute their programs as a .WAV. I might experiment with this a bit and maybe add a .WAV file to github.

I wrote the documentation on a NEC using the dot commands described in the documentation. I transferred it to my laptop via the serial port and pasted it into Notepad. I changed the font on Notepad to New Courier Bold and set the size to 12. I then printed it to the pdf file that is attached. I was planning on creating a folder on the Club100 Member Upload Library, but was having trouble logging on. In the meantime, here is the program and the documentation. Let me know if you try it , have trouble with it or if you have any comments. It has been tested on both my TRS-80 Model 100 and my NEC PC-8201A.
