2.8 -- Typical Command Usage Examples
TESTPROG,
namely} drive zero.
To copy
TESTPROG
to
drive one,
one need only specify the logical unit number (: 1) after
the
sec ond name.
The
COPY
command should be used to move the EDIT,
ASM,
and
RASM
commands from
their
separate
diskettes
onto
the
!;'lstem
diskette in drive zero.
Since the names
ASM,
and
RASM
commands are to be kept the
same,
name
can
be
omitted
completely.
All
that
specified is the logical unit number.
Thus,
COPY

eM: 1,:0
Copy ASM.CM: 1,:0 .
COPY RASM.CM: 1,:0

The

EDIT,

or
RASM
A
similar procedure would be followed to copy any files
from a diskette in any drive to the system diskette in
drive
zero.
If
a
diskette has been damaged or cannot be used to
initialize
MDOS,
it
may be placed
in
anQthe~
drive in attempt
to save any files that may be" on it.
The COPY command should
be used to save files in this
manne~.
If diskette
controlle~
e~~ors
occur
du~ing
such a save process,
the files cannot be
recovered.
I~
a user has existing files on paper tape

that are written in one of the standard
reco~d
formats (i. e.
I
records that end ulith a
carriage
return,
line
reed,
null
sequence
see section 24.3) and which can be read via the
console reader,
the following command line
can
be
used
to
transfe~
those files to diskette:
~here
<name
2~
is the name of the diskette file into which
the tape Tile is to be
~ritten.
The
first
parameter,
#CR,
specifies
the
console
reader
device,
and
the
"N"
option
indicates that there is no MOOS

The
above process can be changed slightly so that a rile
on diskette can be written
to
the
console

device.
