MAC-IN-DOS provides you the ability to read/
write Macintosh ( 1.44 MB ) diskettes .
Other file access functions are also provided,
for both DOS and Macintosh, for creating new
directories and deleting files and directories.

The Macintosh directory structure allows names to
32 characters, with included blanks, while DOS only
allows 8 characters, with no blanks, and an
extension of three characters.
%p
The Macintosh directory structure is also more
complicated since additional infomation is
necessary compared to DOS.  In addition to any
data that you store to the Macintosh disk, the
Macintosh system also adds data so that the
application that generated the data is also known.
Also saved is data that represents the icon used
and its screen position and there is additional
data beyond that.  Besides this data, that is
outside of the data you are interested in, is
non-text data that represents formatting and
other controls that each application might insert
within the text data.
%p
Many Macintosh applications provide the option of
creating a pure text file.  These are the files
which are typically of interest and which should
be copied using the copy text option.  The copy
text option takes care of the difference between
the Macintosh text files and DOS text files.  It
does not create text from files that have control
and formatting characters within them.  Any file may
be copied using the copy image option.  This
copy gives you an exact image of the file you copied.
%p
In addition to the file of interest from the Macintosh
you may also get two addtional files.  This is an
option selectable on the first Macintosh to DOS copy.
These additional files are useful to have if you want
to recopy to a Macintosh disk.  If this is not the
case they may be of no interest to you and you don't
need to copy them to DOS.  The data file is
identified with and extension of .M~.  The other two
files, called the resource and finder, are
identified with .M~R and .M~F.  Some files copied
from the Macintosh disk will only have a resource
and a finder file, some will have only a data file
and a finder file, and some will have all three.


%2
                     F2-DIR
                    DIRECTORY
List the files and subdirectories of your current
directory in the active screen.  Directories are
identified with the notation <DIR> to the right of
the subdirectory name. The Macintosh side will show
you data size, resource size and number of files in
a subdirectory.
You may use the Up/Down/PgUp/PgDn keys to scroll the
directory list. Using the INS key will turn the field
size on/off.
%p
After inserting a new MAC diskette, if the Macintosh
side is the currently active screen, you may simply
press any key to flush out what is on the screen and
bring up the directories and files from the new MAC
diskette. You may also go head and activate a Mac
function, using the functional keys, which will first
flush out what is currently on the screen and then
bring up the directories and files from the new Mac
diskette before the Mac function is activated.
If the diskette is not a Mac formatted 1.44 high density
diskette, the Mac screen will be blank (files could not
be read).
%3
                     F3-CD
                CHANGE DIRECTORY
Change the current directory to one chosen from
the active window.  For the DOS window the drive
can also be changed.  To change to drive A: type
A: when the directory name is asked for.
Similarly for any drive you have available on
your system.

%4
                     F4-CD \
        CHANGE DIRECTORY TO ROOT DIRECTORY
Change the current directory to the top directory
of the current drive.  For the Macintosh disk this
is the drive you selected when you started the
program.  For the DOS disk, this can be any of the
of the drives available on your system.  DOS
drives can be selected with the F3 key.
%5
                    F5-FORMAT
         FORMAT A NEW MACINTOSH DISKETTE
Format a 1.44 MB Macintosh diskette. Any data on the
diskette will be erased. Before the formatting begins,
the program will ask for confirmation.
%6
                     F6-MKDIR
                  MAKE DIRECTORY
Make a new subdirectory within the current
directory.

%7
                    F7-RMDIR
                REMOVE DIRECTORY
Remove a subdirectory from the current directory.
An empty directory may be removed.  If the directory
is not empty then a warning will be issured.

%8
                    F8-DEL
                 DELETE A FILE
Delete one or more files from the current directory.
This command allows wild card characters to be used.
The character * represents zero or more characters.
The character ? represents any one character.  As in
DOS using the name *.* for the delete request will
delete all the files in the directory.  Before
actually doing this delete the program will ask for
verification.

%9
                     F9-COPY TEXT
                  COPY A FILE AS TEXT
This copy command expects a text only file that has
to be changed from Macintosh standard text to DOS
standard text or from DOS to Macintosh.  DOS expects
two characters to terminate each line, the carriage
return and a line feed, while Macintosh only has one,
the carriage return.  DOS also has a file terminator
character, control-Z, which Macintosh does not have.
These are the only two things that copying a file as
text changes.
%p
This command allows wild card characters to be used.
The character * represents zero or more characters.
The character ? represents any one character.  As in
DOS using the name *.* for the delete request will
delete all the files in the directory.  Before
actually doing this delete the program will ask for
verification.

When copying from Macintosh to DOS using the wild card
characters, DOS's name restrictions sometimes require
that you type the name for DOS to use.  If the
Macintosh name falls within DOS's restrictions then
it will be used.

When copying from DOS to Macintosh the DOS names
will be used for the Macintosh disk.

%10
                      F10-COPY (IMAGE)
                        COPY A FILE
Copy a file from disk to disk.  If the file is a text
file and you may want to copy it using the
F9-COPY TEXT key.

This command allows wild card characters to be used.
The character * represents zero or more characters.
The character ? represents any one character.  As in
DOS using the name *.* for the delete request will
delete all the files in the directory.  Before
actually doing this delete the program will ask for
verification.
