Utility
Lets TRSDOS
(1)
read a cassette tape file and write it to a disk file,
or
(2)
read a disk file
and
write it
to
a cassette tape.
You can use
TAPE100 to read files from cassette tape as well as
from Model 4 disks.
The cassette tape must have been made with the Model
100
computer.
file, file t, and file2 are each either a TRSDOS filespec or a Model 100
filename.
A Model
100 filename is 1 - 6 alphanumeric characters long and it
must begin with a letter. For example, ACCT61, LETTER, and
ABFILE can
be
Model 100 filenames.
If you do not specify
file or filet and file2, you will be prompted to
enter the source and destination filespecs if the operation is a WRITE,
or just the destination filespec if the operation
is
a READ.
The
parameters are:
READ specifies that
you
want
to
read a file (file or
filet)
from
tape
and
write
it
to
a file (file or file2)
on
disk. If you specify
READ, you do not have
to
specify filet. TRSDOS simply
reads the first text file it sees
on
the tape.
WRITE specifies that
you
want to read a disk file (file or
filet)
and write it
to
a tape
as
file or file2.
If
you do not specify the READ or WRITE parameter, you will be
prompted for
it.
