MAKE SURE THAT ANY DOS 3 DISKS YOU
USE WITH THIS PROGRAM HAVE A WRITE
PROTECT TAB!!!
RUN it in DOS 2/2.5 To choose a
menu option, press the number of
your choice. Taking it backwards, 4
exits the program. 3 and 2 display
the directory from Drive 1 in the
selected format.
1 is the Magic Move command. The
DOS 3 disk MUST BE IN DRIVE 1 (thus
the prompt). INPUT the filename you
want to copy. A simple RETURN aborts
to go back to the menu.
The TO prompt for the DOS 2
destination has 4 INPUT options:
Same name, same drive (D1) - just
hit RETURN.
Same name, different drive - type
only the new drive spec (D8:),
INCLUDING the colon.
Different name, same drive - type
only the new name with no drive
spec.
Different name, different drive -
type the full filespec
(D2:NEWFIL.BAS)
Full filespecs, of course, are
always acceptable if you like.
The INSERT prompts are
self-explanatory (DO wait till the
busy light is off!) Pressing ESCape
at this prompt will return to the
main menu. Otherwise, hit any key
when your disk is in place to
continue.
That's it. This is a SINGLE PASS
copy, which is limited by the size
of Free RAM. With 48k, this gives
you room for about 26 DOS 3 blocks.
Bigger files won't work, but that
should cover most of 'em....
NOTE: feel free to massage this
program but DO NOT use any GOSUBS or
FOR-NEXT loops between the READ and
WRITE routines. These will intrude
on the file buffer and scramble the
file.
