CP/M RESIDENT COMMANDS
The
command
line
form
of
the
STORE and RESTORE programs is virtually
identical
to
that
of the PIP program. This includes
all
references
to
disks,
user
areas,
and
ufn/afn
specification.
To copy
all
files from the A disk
to
the G floppy drive (again,
the
specific
letters
used
in
your
system
may
be
different), you would
enter
(while logged into the A drive):
STORE C:=*.*
This
will
copy
all
files
with
names of seven
letters
or less.
If
you plan
to
use the STORE/RESTORE programs on a regular basis,
bear
this in mind.
Here's what happens when you
enter
the
command:
1.
STORE
copies
the
files,
adding
the
character
$
to
the
end
of
each
filename.
EXAMPLE:
PROGRAM.COM
is copied
to
the
diskette as PROGRAM$.COM.
2.
If
the
target
diskette
fills
up in
the
middle of copying
the
file, the $ is
changed
to
a
O.
Then
the
program
will
prompt
you
to
enter
a new
diskette
to
continue.
EXAMPLE:
The
first
part
of
PROGRAM$.COM is
stored
on
the
first
diskette as
PROGRAMO.COM.
3.
The
file
that
was
half-copied
will
be
continued
on
the
next diskette.
When
the end of
the
file is
reached,
the
program
will
add a 1
to
the
filename
to
indicate
that
it
comes
after
the 0 file.
EXAMPLE:
As
the
rest
of
PROGRAM.COM is
copied
from
the
hard
disk
to
the
second floppy,
it
is
transferred
as PROGRAM1.COM. This way,
the
program "knows"
that
there
is
still
more information as
part
of
that
file.
4. When
the
last
section
of
a file has been copied, STORE leaves
the
last
character
$.
EXAMPLE:
The
diskette
that
has
the
last
section of
PROGRAM.COM
will
store
that
file as PROGRAM$.COM. This will tell the RESTORE program
that
the
file is not continued on another disk.
