PROMPT
will
prompt
for
file
verification
before
SAVEing.
You
may
respond
with
Y
(yes),
N
(no),
Q
(quit)
or
S
(stop
prompting
and
continue).
ALL
tells
TRSDOS-II
to
save
all
files. (All
won
1
t
transfer
System
files,
use SYS.)
If
you use
drive
as
source,
you
must use
ALL,
SYS
allows
you
to
SAVE
language
and
application
programs.
Wildcarding
Wildcards
also
offer
an easy
way
to
save
several
files
or
an
entire
disk.
For
example:
SAVE
*/CBL:4
TO
(ENTER)
saves
all
Drive
4
files
with
the
extension
/CBL and
puts
them on
the diskette
in
Drive
0.
Using
the
IND Option
The
indirect
option
lets
you save groups
of
files
by
creating
an
indirect
file,
a
file
consisting
of
one
or
more
filespecs
(similar to
a
DO
file).
You can
use
the
BUILD
command
to
create
this
list
of
filespecs.
When
TRSDOS-II Ready,
type:
BUILD
PROGRAMS:©
(ENTER)
This creates
an
indirect
file
called
PROGRAMS.
After
TRSDOS-II prompts you
with:
Enter
command
line
(1-80)
enter
your
list
of
file
specifications including drive
numbers,
for
example:
ORDERS:5
(ENTER)
REPORTS/*:6dNTEE)
To
exit
the
BUILD and
return to
TRSDOS-II Ready,
press
[BREAK)
.
You
are
now
ready
to
save
the
files
(specified
by
the
indirect
file)
to
the specially
formatted floppy
diskette.
Type:
SAVE PROGRAMS:© TO
2 {IND}
(ENTER)
Both
ORDERS
and
REPORTS
are
now
found
in
the
file
named
PROGRAMS
on
the diskette
in
Drive
and saved
to
the
diskette
in
Drive
2.
Note:
The IND
option
lets
you save
more
than
one
file
from
each
hard
disk;
it
also
lets
you save
from
more
than
one
hard
disk.
As
a
result,
you might save
multiple
files
that
have
the
same
name.
Because
the
save
and
restore directory
does
not specify drive
numbers
for
files,
you could
lose duplicate filenames.
