Using Floppy Disks
o If you want to specify a folder location
for this file, you must supply the
pathname, including the folder name and
the new file name. For example, to copy
the file into a folder named Data with a
new file name of file.msdos, you must
enter Data/file.msdos in the Copy to:
field of the MS-DOS file name menu. For
more information on using pathnames, see
"Advanced Command Entry" in the "Selecting
Objects and Entering Commands" chapter of
this section.
o If the file you want to copy is a data
file to be used by an application
installed on the UNIX PC, then it is
necessary to append a suffix to the end of
the file name. This suffix identifies the
file type to the UNIX PC and allows the
UNIX PC to invoke the correct application
when the file is opened. See Appendix B
for a list of the suffixes for each type
of object supplied with the UNIX PC soft-
ware. To find out the suffixes for files
used by other software, see the manual
supplied with that software.
3 Press <Enter>.
You are notified when the copy is complete.
You can now continue following the previous
procedure to copy more files. Or you can
exit from the MS-DOS Disk Read selection.
4 Press [EXIT] or [CLOSE] to exit the MS-DOS
Disk Read selection.
5 Remove the floppy disk.
The copied files are displayed when you open the
destination Filecabinet or folder. Remember, if you
have copied a data file, you must have included the
appropriate suffix to use the data file with an
installed UNIX PC application. If your Filecabinet or
folder display shows the copied files as standard
files, you must Rename the file to include the
appropriate suffix. See the "Using Office Commands"
chapter of this section for more information on the
Rename command.
