Many
TRSDOS commands are
useful pro-
grams
in and of themselves. Some commands
you
might want
to use
are:
LOG.
Tells
the
system to re-examine
a
disk to
determine the
disk
type,
number of cylinders,
number of sides,
density, and location of di-
rectory.
Use
LOG
whenever
you
switch
diskettes in Drive i.
ROUTE/LINK, Lets you connect one
part of
the
hardware
to
another.
For
example, you
can
connect your screen to your
printer. By
doing
this, all information normally printed
on
your screen is
printed on the printer.
BUiLD/DO/JCL. Lets you
create
a
disk
file
consisting of a group
of
TRSDOS
commands
and programs. For example, you
could create
a
file that shows you a
directory, loads BASIC,
and then runs
a
program
all automatically.
FORMS. Lets
you
change
your printer's
set-
tings, such
as
the characters per
line or lines
per page.
SPOOL, Lets you
print reports while you are
using the computer.
MEMDiSK, Lets you
store information in
memory in the same
way
you
store informa-
tion in a disk file.
You will want
to use
this
command if you purchase
the extra 64K mem-
ory. It offers
speed
and
convenience.
CONV. Moves information from a
diskette for-
matted by
TRSDOS Version 1 (the
Model III
operating system)
to a
diskette
formatted
by
TRSDOS
Version
8
(your computer's operat-
ing system). See
"Operating Systems"
below.
COMM, Lets you
connect your
computer
to
another
computer and
use
the other comput-
er's hardware
and software.
