FILECOPY *.COM
FILECOPY PIP.COM
.... copies all files of type • CO M
.... copies the file PIP. CO M
D I S C KIT 2 performs the same functions as D I S C KIT 3, but is somewhat slower
when copying discs as it has less memory available to it.
Two utilities are available which transfer files between disc and cassette. Except for
specialist use, it is unlikely that anything other than ASCII, i.e. plain text, files can
usefully be transferred.
CL 0 AD (Cassette LOA D) can take two parameters, the first is the source (cassette)
filename, enclosed in double quotes, and the second is the destination (disc) filename.
If the destination filename is omitted, the disc file will have the same name as the
cassette file. If the source filename is omitted then C LOA D reads the' first file
encountered on the tape. If the first character of the cassette filename is
!
then the
normal cassette messages will be suppressed.
Example command:
CLOAD "MY LETTER" MYLETTER.TXT
CS A V E (Cassette S A V E) can take three parameters. The first is the source (disc)
filename and the second is the destination (cassette) filename, enclosed in double
quotes. If the destination filename is omitted, the cassette file will have the same
name as the disc file. If the first character of the cassette filename is
!
then the
normal cassette messages will be suppressed. If both filenames are specified, then a
third parameter may be used to specify the tape write speed;
0
for nominal 1000 baud,
1 for nominal 2000 baud.
Example commands:
CSAVE OUTPUT.TXT "OUTPUT TEXT" 1
CSAVE DATAFILE
SETUP
This utility allows you to
re-d~fine
the characteristics of the 6128 keyboard, the disc
drive section, and the serial interface. It also enables you to initiate various actions
when
CP/M
2.2 is first loaded. Unlike the separate utilities provided with CP/M Plus,
which actually perform their duty when run, SET U P modifies the configuration
sector of a disc (which is only invoked when a disc is cold-booted). In this way, it is
similar to the action of the PRO F I LE. SUB utility.
