- The INIT utility initializes a newly formatted TOS-Disk for use
- under the CPMZ80 EMULATOR. Disks used with the EMULATOR must be
- formatted under TOS first and then initialized with the INIT
- utility running under the EMULATOR. The drive containing the
- disk to initialize must be specified on the command line. The
- disk must be newly formatted for initialization. Initialized
- CPMZ80 disks cannot be written on by TOS.
-
-
- Syntax: INIT <drive specifier>

- Examples: INIT A:
- INIT B:

- The SCOPY utility allows copying of CPMZ80 files on a single
- drive system. A file or group of files is selected by the
- command line parameter. The utility gives the necessary commands
- for the changes of the source and destination disk and echoes
- the name of each copied file.
-
-
- Syntax: SCOPY <ambiguous CPMZ80 filename>
-
- Examples: SCOPY *.*
- SCOPY *.PAS
- SCOPY DU.COM

- The TOSDIR utility displays the TOS directory of a disk. An
- ambiguous file specification may be specified. If no drive is
- specified, the directory of the current default drive is dis-
- played. If no file specification is given, all files in the
- directory are listed.
-
-
- Syntax: TOSDIR [<ambiguous file specification>]
-
- Examples: TOSDIR
- TOSDIR A:
- TOSDIR *.PRG

- The TOSCPM utility allows conversion of a TOS file to a CPMZ80
- file. An unambiguous TOS file as source and a destination drive
- or unambiguous CPMZ80 destination file name must be specified on
- the command line. Source and destination drive must not be the
- same. TOSCPM allows the changing of disks and prompts the user
- to start the conversion by pressing the <Return> key. Conversion
- can be aborted by pressing the <Esc> key or <Control-C>.
-
-
- Syntax: TOSCPM <TOS file> <CPMZ80 file>
-
- Examples: TOSCPM A:README.TXT B:
- TOSCPM TURN11.DAT B:T11.DTA

- The CPMTOS utility allows conversion of a CPMZ80 file to a TOS
- file. An unambiguous CPMZ80 file as source and a destination
- drive or unambiguous TOS destination file name must be specified
- on the command line. Source and destination drive must not be
- the same. CPMTOS allows the changing of disks and prompts the
- user to start the conversion by pressing the <Return> key. Con-
- version can be aborted by pressing the <Esc> key or <Control-C>.
-
-
- Syntax: CPMTOS <CPMZ80 file> <TOS file>
-
- Examples: CPMTOS A:HAPPY.TXT B:
- CPMTOS ORDERS.DAT B:ORDERS.DTA

- With the EDTKEY utility the user can edit a CPMZ80 keyboard
- definition file. A keyboard definition file contains information
- about the nationality and character strings for the function
- keys. The user can choose from one of five national keyboard
- layouts: American, English, French, German and German/American.
- German/American is a special German layout for programmers. Each
- of the 10 function keys F1 .. F10 in the top row of the key-
- board and all the 8 keys in the cursor block both unshifted and
- shifted may be assigned an ASCII string of up to 8 characters.
- This provides the user with a total of 36 configurable function
- keys.
-
- EDTKEY displays the current keyboard nationality and function
- key definitions and shows a menue of possible entries. The user
- can abort without any changes and return to CPMZ80 by pressing
- <Esc>. With the space bar the user can change the keyboard
- nationality, which is displayed in the top right corner of the
- EDTKEY screen. By pressing <Enter> the current definition is
- saved and EDTKEY terminates. To edit the string assigned to a
- function key, just press the desired function key, unshifted or
- shifted. Correct a definition with the <Backspace> key and ter-
- minate editing with <Enter>. All ASCII characters except Back-
- space (08H) may be used in function key strings. Control charac-
- ters are shown in arrow notation.
-
- EDTKEY is a versatile tool that adapts the CPMZ80 user environ-
- ment to the changing needs of the user. There may be function
- key definitions with commands for often used applications to
- tailor the ATARI keyboard to the specific needs of an applica-
- tion program. The user can create as many keyboard definition
- files as he or she likes. EDTKEY displays or changes an existing
- key definition or creates a new keyboard definition file, if the
- specified file cannot be found. A new definition is filled with
- default values at startup. The default file type for keyboard
- definition files is ".KEY" and may be ommitted from the file
- specification. A predefined keyboard definition must be activa-
- ted with the SETKEY utility.
-
-
- Syntax: EDTKEY <keyboard definition file>

- Examples: EDTKEY DBASE
- EDTKEY A:WS

-
- The SETKEY utility activates a keyboard definition file that has
- been created with EDTKEY. The default file type for keyboard
- definition is ".KEY" and may be ommitted from the file specifi-
- cation.
-
-
- Syntax: SETKEY <keyboard definition file>
-
- Examples: SETKEY MP
- SETKEY B:MBAS
