- !Help for UnixTrans 0.01
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- (All trademarks acknowledged)
-
- UnixTrans is a module which translates Unix filenames into RISC OS filenames.
-
- What translations does it do?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- It translates any filename which starts with a '~', a '/' or a '.'.
-
- To describe how it translates, it is best to show some examples :
-
- /library -> $.library
- lib.c -> $.lib/c
- ~/usr -> &.usr
- ../../concat.objects/verilog -> ^.^.contact/objects.verilog
- /dev/scsi/jarre/longfiles -> scsi::jarre.$.longfiles
-
- The last one is useful as you can describe filing systems via /dev/... You can
- perform operations such as :
-
- *dir /dev/ram -> *dir ram:
- *//dev/scsi/jitter/!Boot -> */scsi::jitter.$.!Boot
- *rename g ../g -> *rename g ^.g
- *delete ~/files -> *delete &.files
-
- The other main difference is that Unix files are case-sensitive, whereas
- RISC OS ones aren't.

- If you combine this module with LongFilenames, then you have the facility to do
- almost any Unix-type operation.
