PCopy V1.00 - Documentation - R.Ruck - Yourware
<<<--"Does exactly what it says in the docs"-->>>
Disclaimer
==========
I make no promises to the validity, reliablility and integrity of this
software. Use it at your own risk, any damage caused by it is not my fault,
it is yours.
What is it ?
============
Part Copy or PCopy is a copy utilitiy that allows only part of a file to be
copied.
Why ?
=====
I recently came across a huge sample on a CD that had some good stuff in
it, unfortunately I had not got anywhere near the amount of memory needed
to manipulate the sample. I searched through disks for a utility that
allowed me to copy part of a file to somewhere else. This was, though, to
no avail and I figured that the program wouldnt be difficult to write, and
so here it is. Figure out its applications for yourself, I know mine.
How ?
=====
Now most users will skip this bit, mainly because ptype's use is plain and
simple. However those of you who do not know their mouse from a rat ;) here
we go.
At the prompt type 'pcopy'
1. Workbench:> pcopy
Now input the file you want to copy from.
1. Workbench:> pcopy s:startup-sequence
Now give the destination file.
1. Workbench:> pcopy s:startup-sequence ram:file.txt
And finally give how many bytes you wish to copy.
Remember: 1 character = 1 byte and 1000 bytes = 1k.
1. Workbench:> pcopy s:startup-sequence ram:file.txt 4000 (<-Thats 4k)
Press <ENTER> and away it goes.
The destination file should contain however much you specified.
Bugs !
======
I don't know of any real bugs, but as with all my software there probably
are some.
Should you have any bug reports or suggestions tell them to me via
email(see below).
Me, you know, the author
========================
I inhabit Boston, situated in the picturesque, desolate and boring county
of Lincolnshire, England. At writing I am 18, although by the time I've
pulled my finger out and distributed it, I'll be collecting a pension ;)
I have just completed a BTEC National Diploma In Computing, which after two
years doesnt seem like such a waste of time, well not quite anyway :)
I will be starting my Bachelor of Science in September 97, which although
means a lot of work, it also means access to email(see below for iname) and
the internet.
I would like any other coders to contact me if they wish to converse, swap
code or anything else apparently useful.
Should anyone wish to contact me I can be reached at bobruk@mindless.com,
valid Sep 1997 - July 2000, women especially welcome =).
I occassionally manage to get on IRC, very occassionally though. Should you
wish to search for me, I usually wander around #amiga_warez on GalaxyNet as
^^Bob^. Although if you wish to talk urgently you need to mail me.
