    ZBOPT is a utility to reduce the size (and hence improve the 
execution speed) of ZBase programs. (ZBase is a commercial 
database program for the Z88). ZBase programs are interpreted, 
and any extraneous characters slow down the interpreter. ZBOPT 
removes all leading spaces and abbreviates most ZBase commands 
to their minimum unique length.

for a particular purpose. In no event shall the author be liable

    This program is copyright 1990 by Richard C. Haw, all rights

original documentation is distributed with the program and no 
fee is charged for the program other than normal on-line charges 
for dial-up systems or a distribution medium fee not to exceed 
$5.00 (US) for manual distribution.



    The operation of the program is very straight forward, when 
run the program will ask for a program name. It assumes that the 
name of the input file is as specified, with the extension .PRS 
and generates a compacted file with the extension .PRG.



    The latest version of this program can be found on the Genie 
commercial timeshare service in the laptops forum. Any questions 
or comments on the program can be emailed to R.HAW1.
