ERRATUM!!!
The eagle-eyed computerist may have noticed a couple of errors
in the DOS summary inside Megadisc's cover, due to undue haste in the
proof-reading when it rolled out of the Laserwriter Plus. Mea culpa!
In the examples for SEARCH and RELABEL, there should be a space
after the colon in each case. So instead of the SEARCH example reading
> search df0:"Dear Mother" all
it should read
> search df0: "Dear Mother" all
meaning to search the whole disk in the internal drive for the phrase
"Dear Mother".
Note that this case is different to enclosing whole PATHNAMES in
quotes, as in
> copy "df1:Utilities/My Note" to df0:
Here you need the quotes because part of the pathname has an
imbedded space (My Note). In fact, it's a good idea to avoid spaces
in filenames, since they only cause complications when working in the
CLI.
The other error is in the example for FORMAT - the optional
keyword NOICONS (which means format a disk with no Trashcan icon) must
not have a space within it.
Apart from that, I think it's ok. If you find it useful to have
such summaries inside the Megadisc cover, call or write and tell us,
and we'll continue the series throughout the rest of DOS, DOS Errors,
Guru numbers and so on.
