Note: If you wish to have
two
files in
memory
simultaneously,
one of which
resides
wholly or in part in the DUP.SYS area and
the
other of which
resides
wholly outside
of
the
DUP
SYS area
,
simply
merge
the two files into one
file,
then
load the
newly
merged
file
.
O. D(JPLlCATE FILE
This option (shown in
Example 1)
is used
if
you have
only
one
disk drive and want
to
copy a file
from
one diskette
to
another.
Remember that a single disk drive
must
always be set
up
as
Drive 1. Since there is only one disk
drive,
you must manually
insert and remove the source and
destination
diskettes.
If
a
file
is
very
long,
you may
have
to alternate the source and
destination
diskettes
several
times
before
the
duplication
process
is
complete
.
Example
1:
SELECT
ITEI1
OR
[Roun>
[
FOR
l'IEtKI

TYPE RETUR

[
INSERT DESTINATIO
N
DISK.TYPE RETUR

[
Reu.m
]
Wild cards are available with
this
option
.
In
Example
2 you will
notice
that
even when using wild
cards,
your
files
are
still
copied
one
at
a
lime.
You
will
have
to
alternate diskettes at least once
for
each tile that you want to
copy.
Example
2 illustrates
using
a wild card to copy files
having
five-
leiter
filenames
beginning with
TEST from
one diskette to an-
other.
It
is assumed
that
the source diskette has only
two files
with names that satisfy TEST?
