If
you have used your hard disks before, be sure to save any
important files to floppy diskettes before installing TRS-XENIX. A
page at
the
front
of the
TRS-XENIX
Operations
Guide titled
"IMPORTANT"
describes
how
to do this.
To begin using TRS-XENIX
;
you must format the primary hard
disk
using
the diskuttl program.
This
program automatically starts the
TRS-XENIX
installation
procedure which moves
the operating
system to the hard disk,
Directions
for formatting the hard
disk
and
installing
TRS-XENIX
are
given
in
Chapter 3 of the TRS-XENIX
Operations Guide.

Transferring
TRSDOS-II Files
to
TRS-XENIX
You can transfer
TRSDOS-II
4.x
files
to
TRS-XENIX
using
the
TRS-XENIX tx command. Files stored on
TRSDOS
2.x
must
be
FCOPYed to TRSDOS-II 4.x before they can be
transferred.
Appexdix E of the TRS-XENIX Operations Guide
explains
how
to
transfer files to TRS-XENIX.
Creating Backups
Through operator error,
power
failure
or other
accidents, you can
lose information stored
on
