5.1 What the P Tools Do
With the P Tools, you can access PCP/M data media under
MS-DOS. PCP/M data media are hard disk partitions or diskettes
formatted with S5-DOS (PCP/M). This allows you to work with:
STEP 5 user programs/data created under S5-DOS (PCP/M)
using MS-DOS, or
STEP 5 user programs/data created under MS-DOS using
S5-DOS
An emulator allows the S5-DOS basic package with STEP 5
applications to run under MS-DOS (refer to the STEP 5 manual).
PCP/M diskette
Programming device with MS-DOS
The following P Tools are available:
PCOPY copies files from or to PCP/M media.
PDEL deletes files on PCP/M media.
PDIR displays the PCP/M media directory.
PFORMAT formats diskettes for PCP/M.
PSET changes file attributes to PCP/M media.
PTYPE displays the contents of a PCP/M file.
If the programming device you are operating under S5-DOS
(PCP/M) has an ARCNET interface and the program FTARC is
available, you can connect it directly to the ARCNET hardware
running under MS-DOS and transfer files with the FTARC
program (see Chapter 6).
