Kaypro 10 - FINDING FILES ON THE HARD DISK

FINDING FILES ON THE HARD DISK
There are always three drives to use - A, B, and C. The drive on which the boot
is done is always A, so , if the boot is done on the hard disk, the hard disk is drive
A and drive B, and the diskette drive is C.
If you are continuing from the previous page, there is now displayed on the
screen: A0>
This signifies that the head is located on drive A in user area 0.
The prompt , A >, with a number between the A and the >, indicates the currently-
logged drive, meaning the drive in which the computer will automatically look
for files if the drive name (A: or B:) isn't specified. The computer cannot locate a
file on a drive or in a user area that is not the logged drive.
These
prompts are CCP (Console Command Program) prompts. They occur for
each of the three drives , and for each of the 16 user areas numbered 0 to 15
which are in each drive. When you see an A>, B>,
or C> prompt, the CCP is
waiting for you to give it a command.
All the files can be listed on the screen so that you can find the exact spelling of
file names , user area numbers , and number of bytes used by each file .
Directory entries for all the user areas are intermixed in one massed directory,
but you can treat them as fifteen separate working areas (0-14) . (Remember, do
not use or erase user area 15.)
1. To list the files in the cur r ent user area, type : d
Press RETURN .
The
files in the current user area (A0) will be listed alphabetically with the
size of the files. If there are more file names than the screen can display,
on the bottom line, a prompt will tell you to:
Press space to continue.
2. To list all files of an en tire drive, type: d $uvs
Press RETURN.
