FINGERS.BAS¢¢ So you want your computer to do¢ everything automatically? This is the¢ program for you. This program writes¢ an AUTORUN.SYS file (A BATCH file¢ in P.C. speak) that automatically¢ does all DOS functions without you¢ doing anything.¢¢ Suppose you want to do the¢ following:¢¢ 1. Go to DOS¢ 2. Format a disk SD in Dr. #2¢ 3. Copy RAMDISK.COM to the disk¢ 4. Go to BASIC when finished.¢¢ Have a formatted disk with DOS and¢ RAMDISK.COM handy. This will become¢ your MASTER DISK.¢¢ Press the RESET KEY and RUN¢ "D:FINGERS.BAS" file from the¢ Newsletter Disk. Remove the N/L disk¢ and put in your master disk in DR¢ #1.¢¢ You must tell the program what keys¢ or DOS instructions it is to do. For¢ the example above:¢¢ DOS Press RETURN(Get DOS)¢ P " " (Format Sgl)¢ 2 " " (Drive to Fmt)¢ Y " " ("Y" to Fmt)¢ C " " (Copy file)¢ RAMDISK.COM,D2:RAMDISK.COM - RETURN¢ Y " " (Start copying)¢ B " " (RUN CARTDG.)¢¢ These are the DOS functions the¢ program is to do.¢¢ To activate the program:¢¢ 1) Press CNTL & 3¢ 2) PRESS "D" for disk¢ 3) APPEND?Press RETURN(No append)¢ 4) LOAD ADDRESS?Press RETURN (Load¢ Address is O.K.)¢ 5) PATCH ADDRESS?Press RETURN(Patch¢ Address O.K.) ¢ 6) SPEED 1 Press RETURN(#1 O.K)¢¢ You will now have an AUTORUM.SYS file¢ that will do these things¢ automatically for you. This is your¢ MASTER DISK. Put a blank disk in DR 2¢ Start your computer. See how¢ everything is done in DR #2. No¢ more formatting or copying¢ RAMDISK.COM. the computer will do it.¢¢ In a similar fashion you can make¢ other AUTORUN.SYS (BATCH FILES) that¢ do other things.¢¢ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>END<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<¢¢
