5. This
can
continue
until
all
5 megabytes have been copied. Should you
have a single file
(a
data
base
ar
a huge program) which
crosses
more
than
2 floppies,
STORE
will continue
to
add numbers (from 0, through 1,
2,
3,
et
cetera).
Nine floppy
diskettes
can
handle
the
largest
file
possible under
the
5-megabyte system.
EXAMPLE:
Should
PROGRAM.COM
take
up
over 1900 kilobytes (which exceeds three
diskettes, not
to
mention being about 15 times
larger
than
the
maximum
RAM),
it
would be
stored
as:
DISKETTE FILE NAME
1
PROGRAMO.COM
2
PROGRAM1.COM
3
PROGRAM2.COM
4
PROGRAM$.COM
(final section)
For
this
reason,
you
can
see
that
it
is
essential
that
you number
your
diskettes.
When
you go
to
RESTORE
the
information
later,
you
will
have
to
insert
the
disks in
the
correct
order. Otherwise
the
$ will
tell
the
RESTORE
program
to
stop copying
that
file name, and everything will
get
confused.
Tbe
RESIOaS
Command .
This program returns
the
files
put
on diskette
by
the
STORE
program
to
hard
disk. (That is all
that
it
does, too: you cannot use
RESTORE
to
put
files
on
hard
disk,
if
they were put
on
the
floppy
by
the
DISKCOPY
or
PIP programs.)
All
the information described above
for
the
STORE program holds
true
for
RESTORE
as well, except
that
the
action
is
in reverse.
Be
sure
to
enter diskettes in
the
correct
order.
Once RESTORE
has
begun
copying files,
it
will
ask
you for
new
diskettes as
it
needs them.
If
the file you are copying spans several diskettes, make
sure
that
you
insert
the
diskettes
in order.
You
will need
to
enter
the exact name of
the
file as
it
has been stored on
that
diskette.
IX-3S
EXAMPLE:
If
you want
to
RESTORE
the
file
PROGRAM.COM
to
your hard disk, you
would' insert
the
first of your diskettes and
enter
the command:
RESTORE A:=C:PROGRAMO.COM
