TRSDOS
other way to create a minimumdiskette is
to
use XFERSYS with the MIN option. This
will purge
off
all
of
the unnecessary modules and will also purge
off
SYSTEM64
(and/or
SYSTEM
32).
If
you plan to use
DO,
HOST, serial
110,
DEBUG,
or
SPOOL in
yourapplication, then you should use
the'
'manual" method using PURGE.
"Data"
This is a diskette which does not have the minimum system file requirement, and
therefore may only be used in the external drives
(1,2
and
3).
Such diskettes have a
maximum
of
space available for user files.
Whyand
How
of
Data Diskettes
If
you have a DiskExpansion Unit, and you plan to run applications
or
programs
that require large data files, you will want to have available as much disk space as
possible for the storage
of
the file(s)
or
program(s). In this case, you will not need
any
of
the operating system programs on such a diskette. While this kind
of
diskette
may not be used at any time in drive
0,
it will have the maximum space available for
data or
program
storage. An emptydata diskette is created by
FORMAT.
You may
copy
or
write data
or
program files onto this kind
of
diskette
in
large, contiguous
blocks for fast accessing later.
