COPY A DISK
Use this function to make backups
of
your diskettes. The disk drive setup (drives A
and
B)
determines what type of copy
is
performed: single unit, dual drive, or two single
units.
Dual Drive
or
Two Unit Copy
The Shell asks you from which drive you want to copy (use CRSR keys and space bar
to select A or B). Insert the original disk into that drive and the copy disk into the other
drive and press the SPACE BAR. Press the STOP key to cancel this function. The
F5
key
or SPACE BAR can be used to retry a disk operation if
an
error occurs.
Single Drive Copy
The Shell displays the following warning message: 'PROGRAMS
IN
MEMORY
WILL BE DESTROYED'. Press the STOP or
F5
keys to cancel the function at this point.
Press the SPACE BAR to continue.
Throughout this function you will alternately insert the original and copy disks
according to prompts from the Shell.
It
takes from one to four swaps
to
complete the copy.
The first time you insert the copy disk,
it
is
formatted with the same disk name
as
the
original disk, but a different ID code
is
generated. Then, each time you insert a disk, its
ID code
is
checked to make sure that it's the correct disk. If it's not,
an
error message
is
displayed on the screen.
If
that happens, press the SPACE BAR or the
F5
key
to
return to
the last-used disk swapping prompt.
If
the STOP key
is
pressed, the function
is
cancelled and the copy will be incomplete.
COPY FILES
This function makes copies of selected files, the type
of
copy
is
determined
by
the
Disk Drive Setup. Once you select the drive from which the files will be copied, the
file
list
is
displayed so you can select the files using the CRSR keys and SPACE BAR. You
can
"scroll"
the list up or down using the CRSR keys.
Once you position the cursor next to a
file
you want
to
copy, press the SPACE BAR.
You can 'unselect' any file(s)
by
positioning the cursor on the filename and pressing the
F5
key.
Press the
F7
key when you've completed
file
selection. The Shell then asks you if it
is
"OK
TO COPY FILE-LIST: N
Y"
. If you answer Yes, the function continues.
If
you
answer No (the default answer), the Shell returns to
file
selection with all previous
selections intact.
Press the
F5
key to restart
file
selection with all previous selections cancelled.
Press the STOP key to cancel the function and return to the primary menu.
Dual Drive
or
Two Unit Copy
After you answer the
'OK
TO COPY' question, the messages 'INSERT COPY DISK
INTO DRIVE:
X'
and 'THEN PRESS SPACE' are displayed. After you do that, the
message 'WANT TO FORMAT THE COPY DISK: N Y'
is
displayed (unless, how-
ever, the copy disk has never been formatted,
in
which case the Shell automatically does it
without asking you). The default answer
is
No. If you answer Yes, the 'FORMAT A
