(Model 4 only)
TAPE100 [file] [(parameters)]
TAPE100 [file1 [TO] file2] [(parameters)]
Utility
Lets TRSDOS (1) read a cassette tape file and write it to a disk file,
or (2) read a disk file and write it to a cassette tape.
You can use TAPE100 to read files from cassette tape as well as
from Model 4 disks.
The cassette tape must have been made with the Model 100
computer.
file, file t, and file2 are each either a TRSDOS filespec or a Model 100
filename.
A Model 100 filename is 1 - 6 alphanumeric characters long and it
must begin with a letter. For example, ACCT61, LETTER, and
ABFILE can be Model 100 filenames.
If you do not specify file or filet and file2, you will be prompted to
enter the source and destination filespecs if the operation is a WRITE,
or just the destination filespec if the operation is a READ.
The parameters are:
READ specifies that you want to read a file (file or filet) from
tape and write it to a file (file or file2) on disk. If you specify
READ, you do not have to specify filet. TRSDOS simply
reads the first text file it sees on the tape.
WRITE specifies that you want to read a disk file (file or filet)
and write it to a tape as file or file2.
If you do not specify the READ or WRITE parameter, you will be
prompted for it.
