When you use the
(X)
parameter, a TRSDOS system disk is not
required
in
the copy
if
the proper system modules
(1,
2,
3,
and
4)
are
loaded into memory (see the SYSTEM (SYSRES) library command).
During the copy, the following disk swap prompts are repeated until
the copy
is
complete. The prompts are:
Ins
e r t
SOU
RCE
dis
f,
(ENTER)
- Contains the file to
be
copied.
Insert
SYSTEM
disfdENTERl
- Any TRSDOS SYSTEM disk. If system modules
1,
2,
3,
and 4 are
loaded into memory, press
(ENTER)
at
this prompt.
Ins
e r

TIN

0 N
dis
f;
(ENTER)
- Receives the file being copied. May appear twice
in
a row. The
disk must have a different Disk
10
(disk name, master password, or
date) from the source diskette. (If
it
is
a system disk, use ATTRIB if
you need
to
change its Disk
10.)
You cannot use the
(X)
parameter
in
copies involving logical devices.
Sample Use
Whenever a file
is
updated, use
COpy
to make a backup file
on
another disk.
You
can also use
COpy
to
restructure a file for faster
access. Be sure the destination disk
is
already less segmented than
the source disk; otherwise the new file could
be
more fragmented
than the old one. (See FREE for information
on
file fragmentation.)
To RENAME a file
on
the same disk, use RENAME, not COPY.
