DOS and LIF File System Considerations
358
Program and data files can be stored and retrieved from IBASIC using either the
DOS or LIF file system. The media format (DOS or LIF) is determined
automatically by the IBASIC file system when the mass storage device is first
accessed, and the appropriate format is used from then on. DOS and LIF use
different file naming conventions. In addition, the Test Set uses certain file
naming conventions which are unique to the Test Set. Unexpected file operation
can occur if proper consideration is not given to the file naming conventions.
