One Hint from Phoebus Dokos on Facebook 2017-12-31: "Most .dot command versions in the BIN directory coming in the TBBLUE distributions are modified from the original ones"
and please read Comment on the end of this list about special extended .DOT-command for ZX Next (ZXN)
From ZX Next Distro v1.03 .DOT-commands for ZXN are completely found in directory \DOT\ and only those for esxDOS in \BIN\ directory!

.2browsev0.01a1divMMC with min. 128k Memory and installed Package "New File Browser for ZX-UNO" (which can also be used on non-ZX-Uno-devices) 2browse - a twin pane file manager for esxDOS based on my long filename browser code.bob_fossilhttp://www.thefossilrecord.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/zx/2BROWSE_001-1.ziphttps://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=60492browse

2browse /diectory-name		Copy the contents of the 2browse BIN folder to the /BIN folder on your SD Card. To run, from BASIC enter: .2browse
or if you want to start browsing from a specific folder, in this case the /BIN folder: .2browse /bin

2browse supports browser plugins and the majority of keys from the long filename browser with the following additions:

Extended Mode - Swap between windows
Caps Shift + M - Move selected file to other window
Caps Shift + C - Copy selected file to other window

The following browser keys are not supported in 2browse:

Caps Shift + S - Save snapshot
Caps Shift + K - Poke
Caps Shift + L - External command
Caps Shift + N - Default NMI
Symbol Shift + F - Toggle full-screen file browser

Known issues:

All file operations (Move, Copy, New Folder, Rename) are limited to 8.3 filenames.
If you copy a file and then perform the same copy again, you aren't prompted to overwrite or abort the copy. You just get a cryptic error message displayed.
2browse uses the BROWSE.CFG and font file from the long filename browser. Any changes you make to those will be carried over into 2browse.
Copy and move operations cannot be aborted once started.

.CH8SHOW /path/to/file.ch8		.CH8SHOW - View 768b/1k 1bit font files in ROM/UDG format inspired by Damien Guard's zx-origins project.

We define ROM format fonts as:

1bit per pixel
8×8 fixed size
Breadth first

A common file format for a collection 96 of these is a CH8 file – 768bytes long.

Damien Guard maintains the most awesome ZX-Origins collection, and is a great place to get yourself some CH8 files if you ever find the need.
.CH8SHOW previewing Damien’s super-cool Cinema font.

The display will automatically adjust if passed a 128character long font-file, instead of a 96 character one – these are detected by the 1k, instead of usual 768byte, file-length.

Internally, we developed .CH8SHOW as a companion for FoaK – as part of the promised open source support commands that the released app came with.

The 1k (files with UDG extension) exports also work with .CH8SHOW perfectly.

.EVERY 10

Name: ESP, "True" every 5th
.EVERY ESP 5

NextReg 0x7F is 1 on True else 0		A scheduling tool designed to keep count of events, and trigger periodically.

.EVERY needs to be started with at-least one parameter, the schedule interval – which must be a number greater than one.

You can also pass an optional second parameter, this is the name of the schedule when you wish to maintain more than one.

In the below example we’ll use .EVERY to set the RTC every 10th execution.

.EVERY 10 : IF % REG 127 THEN .NXTP time.nxtel.org 12300

For advanced users, you can run more than one schedule concurrently, but independently of each other.

.EVERY 2 EveryTwo : IF % REG 127 THEN PRINT "Twice"
.EVERY 3 ThreeTimes : IF % REG 127 THEN PRINT "Thrice"

The default schedule is called “default”, and the schedule data is stored in /sys/every.cfg. This is a “simple INI file” and is suitable for manipulation with .INI (in fact, it uses the same code path for both apps)

Internally, the network time example is exactly how it is used – and that function was our motivation behind this tool!

Options:

-b bank number in 16K blocks
-f filename (only available in get and cannot be used with -b)
-h host address
-p port number (defaults to 80)
-u url (defaults to /)
-l length of bytes to POST
-o address offset (defaults to 0)
-v flash the border to n 0-7 (defaults to no flashing) and restores original border on exit
-7 enabled base64 decoding (useful for supporting Cspect and 7-bit binary exchange*)
-r disable rolling banks (see rolling banks)
-x disable uart init - only use this if you know what you're doing!

Note that by default a GET request will empty out the bank selected. If you want to preserve the data in the bank, use a negative value for the offset, i.e. -b 5 -o -0 will load the http request into bank 5, preserving the RAM and inserting at memory position 0 (in fact, $4000 in RAM).

Run with no arguments to see the help.

*Cpsect's emulated ESP support used 7-bit, which means if you want to send binary data, you will need to base64 encode your payload. Using the -7 flag with http will support decoding and support Cpsect. This is not required if you only plan to exchange 7-bit data (like readable text) or support hardware. See the example folder for a server returning binary using base64 encoding.

SET a value

INI /path/file.ini key value		INI/CFG tool

.INI - Command-line INI editor for simple, programmable edits to INI or INI style config files

.INI is designed to perform a specific tasks with a minimum fuss – manipulate ini files from BASIC without the need to write a whole file handler.

.INI needs to be started with (at least) two arguements.

The first is a path to a INI file to use, the second is the name (commonly known as ‘key’) to retrieve.
The second, optional, parameter (commonly known as ‘value’) is the item to save in the INI file.

The following example would retrieve the current video mode timing – this is a number between 0 and 7, and is covered extensively in the Next’s wonderful manual.

.INI /MACHINES/NEXT/CONFIG.INI timing

And for setting a value, it’s as follows:

.INI /SYS/ENV.INI edge_zx128p3_50 0,0,0,0

In this example it’s resetting the “noted visible screen” to be full frame – this config file entry itself is maintained by Ped7g’s very helpful .DISPLAYEDGE, part of the default NextZXOS system distribution.

Hopefully as you can see, .INI by itself is not of a lot of use, but when used with system config files, or with other apps (e.g., .EVERY, or .DISPLAYEDGE as in the example above) it becomes a building block in a very powerful config system.

Internally, one of the most common uses is to reset parameters in INI files when developing our own apps.

(Aowen)http://board.esxdos.org/viewtopic.php?id=356https://zx.itch.io/playThe .PLAY command for esxDOS wasn't exactly a huge seller, and with Derby++ it's kind of redundant (except for people who don't want to change their ROMs). So I'm making it available at "name your own price". Also, I am happy for it to be included in official esxDOS distributions, providing it is made clear that it's third-party software that is not covered by esxDOS's "copyleft" statement. This is not a transferable right and applies only to downloads from esxDOS.org (I need to protect myself from the unscrupulous people who exploit my work for their own profit while seeking to tarnish my reputation).

.playayv0.03.ay file player for DivMMC devices running esxdos with 128k of extra memory.
Issues and limitations:
Only supports EMUL .ay file type.
Sections of the .ay file that load to ROM are ignored. This shouldn't be a problem as we have the real ROM available for .ay files that rely on ROM data.
Some .ay files can draw to or change the screen. This wasn't an issue with a PC just emulating the Z80 and AY chip as they didn't bother emulating the screen. (Manic Miner)
Some beeper .ay files play until they stop (Sabre Wulf), use a different key to stop playback (Mikie uses ENTER) or can't be stopped once started (The Great Escape).		bob_fossilhttp://www.thefossilrecord.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/zx/playay.ziphttps://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3580.playay music.ay
