5.2 Using the P Tools
The P Tools are in the \STEP5\S5_ST directory and are started at
the MS-DOS operating system level.
It is assumed that the programs are on diskette, in which case you
should proceed as follows:
1. Insert diskette with or for the S5-DOS (PCP/M) files in a drive,
for example, A.
2. Type in command and parameters on the PG/PC keyboard, for
example, copy an S5 file with the name EXAMPLE from
diskette = user 0 to the hard disk in the directory \STEP5:
PCOPY 0A:EXAMPLE.CMD C:\STEP5.
3. Press Return. The file is copied from diskette to the hard disk.
You should be familiar with the PCP/M and MS-DOS file
conventions. You can also get help to explain the syntax via the
help function. Enter the utility program name (for example,
PCOPY). The corresponding text then appears on the screen.
The square brackets listed in the command should not be entered;
these are to distinguish optional parameters. Be careful always to
enter any blanks which are required.
When copying data from PCP/M media to MS-DOS media and
vice versa, no disk cache program should be in use, as is often the
case under MS-DOS. This will lead to errors and possibly also to
loss of data.
