┴FTER YOU SELECT A NUMBER, THIS WILL DISPLAY THE ╨┴╟┼ OF 20 FILES STARTING WITH THAT NUMBER. ╔F YOU ╨┴╟┼ AFTER THIS, THE NEXT 20 FILENAMES WILL BE DISPLAYED.
╦╔╠╠
╘HIS WILL REMOVE THE DESIGNATED FILENAME FROM THE DIRECTORY IF IT IS A ─┼╙╔╟╬ OR IF IT HAS LENGTH ZERO. ╔F YOU KILL/DELETE A "GENUINE" FILENAME WITH THIS COMMAND, THE FILE WILL FIRST BE UNPROTECTED, AND THEN RENAMED "(PI)┼╪╨╔╥┼─" (FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER) AND PLACED AT THE END OF THE DIRECTORY. (╚ERE PI REPRESENTS THE CORRESPONDING ╟REEK LETTER. ╘HIS HAS AN ┴╙├╔╔ VALUE OF 255, SO ANY SUBSEQUENT SORTS WILL USUALLY KEEP IT AT THE END OF THE DIRECTORY). ┴LL SUCH FILENAMES CANNOT BE ╟╒┴╥─ED AND WILL BECOME ─┼╠ETED FILES WHEN YOU USE THE ╫╥╔╘┼ $ COMMAND. ╔F YOU THEN WANT THESE ─┼╠ETED FILES TO BE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE DIRECTORY, YOU SHOULD ╨┴├╦ AND RE╫╥╔╘┼ $.
╠╧┴─ $
╠OADS THE DIRECTORY OF THE DISK IN THE DRIVE SO THAT IT CAN BE EDITED. ╔F THIS IS A MISTAKE, THE ╧╧╨╙ COMMAND, IF USED IMMEDIATELY, WILL RETURN THE PREVIOUS DIRECTORY. ╚OWEVER, IF YOU DO THIS, DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE ORIGINAL DISK BACK IN THE DRIVE.
═╧╓┼
╙ELECTING THIS COMMAND WILL ALLOW YOU TO MOVE EITHER A RANGE OF FILENAMES, OR A SINGLE FILENAME, TO ANOTHER POSITION. ┼VERYTHING IN BETWEEN SLIDES. ╔F YOU ARE DEALING WITH A DIRECTORY CONTAINING MANY ENTRIES, AND CHOOSE TO MOVE A LARGE RANGE, THIS COMMAND MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO COMPLETE.
╧╧╨╙
╘HIS ALLOWS YOU TO RECOVER FROM THE ╠┴╙╘ CHANGE MADE, USUALLY USED BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE BEING MADE (HENCE THE NAME "╧╧╨╙"). ╔T WORKS ONLY ONE LEVEL DEEP SO THAT USING ╧╧╨╙ SUCCESSIVELY WILL ╬╧╘ TAKE YOU BACK TWO LEVELS. ╧╧╨╙ WORKS TO COUNTERACT ALL DISPLAYED COMMANDS ┼╪├┼╨╘ TWO, ╚╒┼ (WHICH IS EASY TO CHANGE) AND ╫╥╔╘┼ $ (WHICH IS NOT, AND IS IRREVERSIBLE!), AND ONE UNDISPLAYED COMMAND, ╒, WHICH GIVES THE USER DIRECT ACCESS TO THE DISK.
╨┴├╦
╔F A FILENAME IS DELETED FROM A DISK, THE NEXT FILE SAVED APPEARS IN THAT LOCATION WHEN THE DIRECTORY IS ╠╔╙╘ED. ╒SING ╨┴├╦ WILL PLACE ALL ─┼╠ETED FILES AT THE END OF THE DIRECTORY AND THEN COMPLETELY REMOVE THEM.
╤╒┼╥┘
╘HIS PRODUCES A LIST OF THE 23 DISPLAYED ├╧══┴╬─╙ AND AN ABBREVIATED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT EACH DOES. ┴BSENT FROM THIS LIST ARE THE TWO UNDISPLAYED COMMANDS, ╬ AND ╒.
╥┼╬┴═┼
╔F YOU WANT TO RENAME A FILE THIS CAN BE USED. ╘HE EXISTING FILENAME IS DISPLAYED ON THE LINE ABOVE THE EDITING LINE, SO THAT YOU CAN CHECK IT CHARACTER BY CHARACTER. ┴ NON-PRINTABLE CHARACTER IS DISPLAYED BETWEEN AN EXTRA SET OF QUOTES. ╨RESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬, WITHOUT ANY ENTRY, ABORTS THE RENAMING PROCESS. ╘HE ╥┼╬┴═┼ OPTION ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE THE HEADER, OR ╔─, OF THE DIRECTORY DISK. ╚OWEVER, THIS IS PURELY COSMETIC - IT DOES ╬╧╘ REWRITE THE ╔─S WHICH APPEAR AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SECTOR ON THE DISK.
╙╧╥╘
╔F YOU WANT TO SORT A RANGE OF FILENAMES ALPHANUMERICALLY, THEN THIS WILL DO SO. ╚OWEVER, A FILENAME CALLED "╞╔╠┼ 2" WILL, AS IS USUAL IN SORTS OF THIS TYPE, APPEAR AFTER "╞╔╠┼ 10". ╥ENAMING "╞╔╠┼ 2" TO "╞╔╠┼ 02" BEFORE SORTING WILL PLACE IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
╘╥┴─┼
╘HIS COMMAND EXCHANGES TWO FILENAMES.
╓╔┼╫ $
╘HIS ALLOWS YOU TO LOOK AT THE DIRECTORY OF THE DISK IN THE DRIVE ╫╔╘╚╧╒╘ LOADING IT INTO MEMORY. ┘OU SHOULD USE THIS BEFORE USING ╫╥╔╘┼ $ TO CONFIRM THAT THE DISK WHOSE DIRECTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO REWRITE IS THE CORRECT ONE. ┘OU CAN ALSO USE ╓╔┼╫ $ TO READ THE NUMBER OF BLOCKS FREE ON THE DISK.
╫╥╔╘┼ $
╙AVES (WRITES) THE DIRECTORY IN MEMORY TO ┴╬┘ DISK WHICH IS NOT WRITE-PROTECTED (EITHER SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE). ╘HIS IS IRREVERSIBLE, AND, BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU SHOULD USE THE ╓╔┼╫ $ COMMAND FIRST TO ├╚┼├╦ ╘╚┴╘ ╘╚┼ ├╧╥╥┼├╘ ─╔╙╦ ╔╙ ╔╬ ╘╚┼ ─╥╔╓┼. ╒SING THE ╧╧╨╙ COMMAND AFTER A ╫╥╔╘┼ $ COMMAND WHICH HAS ALSO DELETED FILES, HAS NO EFFECT.
╪-╥┴┘
╘HIS WILL FIRST PRINT ON THE SCREEN THE ╘RACK AND ╙ECTOR AT WHICH THE FILE SELECTED STARTS ON DISK. ╔T WILL THEN ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE FILE ITSELF OR THE SECTOR ON DISK WHERE THE FILE STARTS. ╔F YOU SELECT SECTOR, THEN YOU WILL BE IN THE TRACK AND SECTOR EDIT MODE, DESCRIBED UNDER THE UNDISPLAYED COMMAND ╒. ╧THERWISE IT WILL ATTEMPT TO PRINT THE FILE TO THE SCREEN. ╔T WILL PRINT ANY STANDARD ╙┼╤ FILE, SO THAT FOR EXAMPLE ╔╬╙╘╥╒├╘╔╧╬╙ COULD BE REREAD IN THIS WAY. ╔T WILL ALSO PRINT ON THE SCREEN ANY STANDARD ├OMMODORE 64 ┬┴╙╔├ ╨╥╟ LISTING. ├ONSEQUENTLY YOU CAN USE THE ╪-╥┴┘ COMMAND TO LOOK AT MOST FILES ON A DISK. ╔T WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO READ ╥┼╠, ─┼╠, OR ╒╙╥ FILES. ┘OU CAN PAUSE THE SCREEN DISPLAY BY PRESSING THE SPACE BAR, AND ABORT IT BY PRESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬. ╔F THE SCREEN DISPLAY GETS CORRUPTED (WHICH MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN YOU READ A NON-STANDARD FILE), PRESS THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY AND THEN ╚ (FOR ╚╒┼) WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO RESELECT YOUR COLORS. ╔F THE PROGRAM WHICH YOU WANT TO READ DOES NOT LOAD IN AT THE USUAL START OF ┬┴╙╔├ (2049) THEN NO LISTING IS PRINTED - INSTEAD THE STARTING ADDRESS OF WHAT MAY BE A MACHINE LANGUAGE PROGRAM IS DISPLAYED IN DECIMAL.
╘HERE ARE TWO ╒╬─╔╙╨╠┴┘┼─ ├╧══┴╬─╙ WHICH ARE ACCESSIBLE WITH ONE KEYSTROKE FROM THE LIST OF ├OMMANDS - ╬ AND ╒. ╘HESE ARE THE TWO LETTERS MISSING FROM THE LIST OF COMMANDS WHICH START WITH THE LETTERS ┴ THROUGH ╪.
╬ REPESENTS ╬O ┬LINKING ├URSOR. ╔F THE BLINKING OF THE CURSOR (OVER ╨┴╟┼ FOR EXAMPLE) IRRITATES YOU THEN PRESS ╬, WHICH WILL LEAVE THE CURSOR SOLID. ╨RESSING ╬ AGAIN TOGGLES THE EFFECT.
╒ REPRESENTS ╒SER ─IRECT ┴CCESS ╘O ─ISK. ╘HIS COMMAND SHOULD BE ┴╓╧╔─┼─ BY THE NOVICE BECAUSE ITS INDISCRIMINATE USE CAN PERMANENTLY DESTROY FILES. ─EPENDING ON HOW YOU USE THIS COMMAND, ╘╚┼ ─╔╥┼├╘╧╥┘ ╔╬ ═┼═╧╥┘ ═┴┘ ╬╧ ╠╧╬╟┼╥ ┴╟╥┼┼ ╫╔╘╚ ╫╚┴╘ ╔╙ ╧╬ ╘╚┼ ─╔╙╦. ╘HE ╧╧╨╙ COMMAND IS NOT IN OPERATION WHILE IN THE ╒ MODE. ╫HAT YOU DO TO THE DISK IN THIS MODE CAN ONLY BE UNDONE BY THE USER (IF AT ALL!). ╘HE ╒ COMMAND GIVES YOU TWO CHOICES, EITHER DISK COMMANDS OR A TRACK AND SECTOR EDITOR.
╘HE DISK COMMANDS ALLOW YOU TO READ THE STATUS OF THE ERROR CHANNEL, TO VALIDATE A DISK (WHICH WILL CLOSE ALL OPEN FILES AND UPDATE THE ┬┴═), AND TO INITIALIZE OR RESET THE DRIVE.
╘HE TRACK AND SECTOR COMMANDS, WHICH CAN ALSO BE ENTERED VIA THE ╪-╥┴┘ OPTION, ALLOW YOU TO READ ANY VALID TRACK AND SECTOR (NOT HALF-TRACKS!), WHICH YOU SELECT IN DECIMAL. ╧N THE SCREEN IS DISPLAYED THE ENTIRE SECTOR IN HEX, IN ROWS OF 16 BYTES, AS WELL AS A ├╚╥$ DUMP IN ROWS OF 32 - UNPRINTABLE CHARACTERS ARE REPLACED BY A PERIOD. ╔F YOU CHOOSE TO EDIT THIS SECTOR THE CURSOR WILL APPEAR IN THE HOME POSITION (AND CAN BE REPOSITIONED THERE USING THE ╚╧═┼ KEY). ┴T THE SAME TIME THE DECIMAL AND ├╚╥$ EQUIVALENT OF THE HEX NUMBER UNDER THE CURSOR ARE DISPLAYED ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN. ╒SE THE CURSOR KEYS TO POSITION THE CURSOR OVER THE CHARACTER YOU WANT TO EDIT (WRAPAROUND IS IN EFFECT). ╨RESSING ANY VALID HEX NUMBER WILL IMMEDIATELY UPDATE THE SCREEN. ╘HIS EDITED SECTOR CAN ONLY BE REWRITTEN TO THE SAME SECTOR FROM WHICH IT WAS READ. ╔T IS POSSIBLE TO READ THE NEXT TRACK AND SECTOR BY FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS ON THE SCREEN, OR BY PRESSING ╞.
╔N ORDER TO USE THE ╒ COMMAND WITH CONFIDENCE, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND HOW FILES ARE STORED ON DISK. ╞OR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS, SEE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING BOOKS:
╨╥╧╟╥┴══╔╬╟ ╘╚┼ ╨┼╘/├┬═ BY ╥. ╫EST, ├OMPUTE! ┬OOKS, 1982,
┴DDING EXTENSIONS TO A FILENAME IS VERY POPULAR. ╚OWEVER, IT IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE AND SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. ═ANY FILE COPY PROGRAMS WILL NOT COPY FILES WITH EXTENSIONS. ═ANY DIRECTORY FILING SYSTEM PROGRAMS WILL NOT ACCOUNT FOR FILES WITH EXTENSIONS. ┴LSO IT IS POSSIBLE TO ADD AN EXTENSION TO A FILENAME IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE FILE CANNOT BE LOADED WITHOUT THE USE OF THE WILD CARD "*". ╞INALLY, CHARACTERS ENTERED AS PART OF AN EXTENSION DO NOT ALWAYS PRODUCE THE EFFECT EXPECTED, BECAUSE A CHARACTER WHOSE ┴╙├╔╔ VALUE EXCEEDS 128 IS REPLACED BY THAT CHARACTER WHOSE ┴╙├╔╔ VALUE IS 128 LESS. ╞OR EXAMPLE THE CHARACTER PRODUCED BY PRESSING THE ├OMMODORE AND ╔ KEY IS REPLACED BY QUOTES, WHICH CAN CAUSE CHAOS! ╔F YOU HAVE AN EXTENSION WHICH CAUSES PROBLEMS, USE ┴── ╘╧ TO REMOVE THE EXTENSION.
╟╒┴╥─
╘HIS WILL ╬╧╘ PREVENT THE FILE FROM BEING LOST IF THE DISK IS ╬┼╫ED. ┴LSO, MANY FILE COPY PROGRAMS WILL NOT COPY FILES WHICH ARE PROTECTED, AND MANY DIRECTORY FILING SYSTEM PROGRAMS WILL NOT ACCOUNT FOR SUCH FILES. ╔N ADDITION, IF YOU ROUTINELY USE THE SAVE AND REPLACE COMMAND (╙┴╓┼ "@0:FILENAME",8) THE PROTECTION OF THE FILE ON DISK IS IGNORED, AND THE NEWLY SAVED FILE UNDER THE SAME NAME IS NOT PROTECTED.
╒╙╥
╘HE REASON ╒╙╥ FILE TYPES WERE SELECTED TO CONSTRUCT DESIGNS IS TWOFOLD. ═OST FILE COPY PROGRAMS WILL NOT COPY ╒╙╥ FILES, AND MANY DIRECTORY FILING SYSTEM PROGRAMS WILL IGNORE SUCH FILES. ╔N VIEW OF THE FACT THAT YOU NORMALLY WOULD NEITHER BE INTERESTED IN COPYING DESIGNS NOR IN CATALOGING THEM, THIS SEEMED DESIRABLE. ╬EVERTHELESS, ╔ AM SURE THERE ARE SOME PROGRAMS THAT WILL BAULK AT ╒╙╥ FILES.
╔F FOR ANY REASON THIS PROGRAM IS UNABLE TO DELETE ANY FILE WHEN THE ╫╥╔╘┼ $ IS USED, THE PROGRAM ADVISES YOU OF THIS, AND ABORTS. ┘OU SHOULD THEN TRY TO DELETE THESE FILES IN DIRECT MODE.
