Naming Files; Files And Directories - Acorn computer econet level 2/3 User Manual

5 Your rights of access to the files listed (owner or public)
6 The autostart option you have selected
7 The name of the directory currently selected as your
library
The meanings of these pieces of information will become clear as
you work through this guide and get used to using the file server.

Naming files

There are rules for the names you give your files. Filenames can
have up to ten characters and can use any combination of letters
and numbers. You can also use:
! % & = - ~ ^ | \ @ { [ £ _ + ; } ] < > ? /
Do not use any other symbol; spaces are also not allowed.
EXAMPLES
MATHS
TUESDAY
BASIC
You can mix upper and lower case letters so that MATHS,
Maths and maths will all refer to the same file.
If you try to give a file a filename that breaks these rules, the filing
system will respond with the message "Bad file name".

Files and directories

Files in the Econet filing system are organised into directories.
When you type *CAT, the list of names that comes up on your
screen is your directory.
Directories can include other directories as well as files. When
a catalogue listing includes a directory, the letter "D" appears
next to it.
