DISK EDIT and PROTECT
by Glen Colbert
This program allows you a wide
variety of options. When run the
program gives you a menu of choices
as follows:
A - Protect disk
B - Remove protect
C - File protect
D - Display DOS RAM
M - Display C-64 Memory
Q - Quit
S - Show sector
V - View BAM
Z - Allocate sector
@ - Check all sectors
OPTION A: Allows you to protect your
disk so that it cannot be written to.
OPTION B: Allows you to remove the
protection on your disk so that it
can be written to again.
OPTION C: Allows you to protect (or
unprotect) single files on a disk. A
protected file cannot be scratched
(accidentally or intentionally). This
option will display each file, one at
a time on the screen and show the
file type. If it is currently
protected, a "<" will be displayed
next to the file type. To protect a
file, reply with "<". To unprotect a
file, reply with a " " (space bar).
Hit just the RETURN key to leave it
as it is.
OPTION D: Allows you to display the
contents of the RAM in your disk
drive. This display is in hex (with
ASCII on the right side).
OPTION M: Allows you to display the
contents of the RAM in your computer.
This display is in hex (with ASCII on
the right side).
OPTION Q: Quits the program back to
COMAL programming mode.
OPTION S: Shows the contents of the
sector that you choose. The display
is in hex (with ASCII on the right
side).
OPTION V: Shows the contents of the
BAM of the current disk (+ means
allocated, blank means free).
OPTION Z: Allocates a sector on the
disk. You tell it what track and
sector. You can allocate all the
sectors by replying -1,0.
OPTION @: Checks all the sectors on
the disk for errors.
