TTLEXEC ST Programmer's Manual TTLEXEC
NAME
ttlexec - execute hard disk backup
SYNOPSIS
ttlexec [-acdfinoqrsvxy] path [...path]
DESCRIPTION
ttlexec does disk backup to floppies by reading the specified
path name(s) and writing either all files, or all unarchived
files. It uses a RAMdisk to create an in-memory image of the
floppy to write, then does a track-by-track copy of the RAMdisk
image. The only RAMdisk useable is TRAMDISK.PRG.
Before executing ttlexec, nearly all of the system memory must be
available.
-a inhibit setting the ARCHIVE bit on files as they are copied.
Normally the ARCHIVE bit is set as the files are backed up.
-c # write # copies of each disk. Normally, only one copy of each
diskette is written.
-d hold screen after completion. Normally used only when invoked
from the desktop.
-f format floppies before writing. Normally floppies are assumed
to be formatted and ready for writing. They need not be erased
since ttlexec will over-write any existing data on the disks.
Only normal format diskettes can be formatted, "TWISTER" disks
must be pre-formatted.
-i incremental backup. Copy only the files with the ARCHIVE bit
reset. Normally, all files are copied.
-n # number the output disks starting with #. Normally output disks
are numbered beginning with 1.
-o only files are to be copied. All files in the named path are
backed up (unless -i is specified), but folders within the named
path are not backed up.
-q question before backing up each file.
-r # RAMdisk is drive # (default is M).
-s # sectors on output diskettes (default is 1440).
-v verify output disks. Normally output disks are written, but not
read back.
-x # exclude files with type ###.
-y # options file name for re-executing TURTLE.PRG
BUGS
GEMDOS has a significant problem when over 40 folders are accessed
between system resets. Avoid this by backing up specific path names
to control the number of folders read and written between resets.
