- LOGO rename patches - information John Elliott, May 1993.
- ================================================================================
- As reported in Robert Grant's excellent book "The PCW LOGO manual", the
- 'changef' command to rename files in LOGO does not work. The following files
- provide renaming with a scope somewhat greater than either the original
- 'changef' command (even if it had been working) or Mr. Grant's alternative.
- There are two stages; the first needs to be carried out only once:
-
- Make a copy of the file LOGO.COM (perhaps on drive M:). Copy onto the same
- drive the files:
-
- COMPAT.COM RENAME.CMP
-
- and type COMPAT LOGO RENAME <RETURN>. Now copy LOGO.COM from this disc to
- your LOGO work disc. DO NOT DO THIS WITH YOUR MASTER DISC!! Finally, copy
- the file RENAME.LOG to your LOGO work disc.
-
- The second step should be carried out when you want to rename files:
-
- From LOGO, type:
-
- load "rename <RETURN> then
- rename "newfile "oldfile <RETURN>
-
- (replacing newfile and oldfile by the actual filenames).
-
- You must use 'file.log' rather than 'file' to refer to LOGO procedure files.
-
- If you want to, you can add the "rename" procedures to your STARTUP.LOG file,
- perhaps by typing:
-
- erall load "startup load "rename erasefile "startup save "startup <RETURN>
-
- Some information on the machine code routine is given in RENAME.CMP. See also
- RENAME.Z80
