You copy certain files to the RAM disk, change your directory to the RAM disk,
then copy from the RAM disk onto the destination disk. Here
is
a sample
sequence:
COPY
dfO:c
/
CD
RAM:
COpy
dfO:c
/COPY RAM:
CD RAM:
Insert the source data disk into the drive. For this example, we'll copy something
from the Workbench disk, which
is
already in the drive.
Issue the command:
COPY dfO:c/EXECUTE RAM:EXECUTE
Remove the source disk, and insert the destination disk into the drive.
Issue the command:
COPY RAM:EXECUTE dfO:EXECUTE
Remove the destination disk, and insert your Workbench disk into the drive
again. Issue the command:
CD
dfO:
and you are back where you started. The only other command you may want to
perform
is:
DELETE RAM:CD RAM:COPY RAM:EXECUTE
which returns the RAM disk memory to the system for other uses.
Copying files using two drives
is
much less complicated:
COPY FROM dfO:sourcepath TO
df1
:destinationpath
or
COPY dfO:sourcepath
df1
:destinationpath
