Radio Shack TRS-80 Model II Reference Manual page 12

VERSION 2.0 UPDATE
WildCard
Certain library commands allow you to specify a collection of files by using a
"wild-card" field in place of the file name and/orextension. An asterisk'
'*"
in a
file specification represents a wild-card field and means, "any sequence of one or
more characters here' , .
The wild-card option is available on the following commands:
KILL
MOVE
DIR
(wild-card field for entire file name only)
A new
SVC
has been added to allow
Z-80
programs to use this wild-card capability.
To find a full description of wild-card use, use the Index.
Alternate Directory
For increased reliability of the diskette filing system,
TRSDOS
now sets up an
alternate directory. If the main directory should become unreadable, the alternate
directory will be used to allow continued access to the diskette. Details are given in
the descriptions of
FORMAT
and
BACKUP.
ABSolute Option
,,---' Many of the
TRSDOS
commands and utilities ask the operator to confirm whether an
operation is to be completed. The
ABS
option has been added to eliminate these
questions and thus simplify the use of the command.
The
ABS
option is available on the following commands:
BACKUP
COPY
FORMAT
MOVE
