earlier
example).
acra;s
4 diskettes.
When
the
program
has
copied
the
last
file
on
the
diskette's
directory,
the
screen
will display:
INSERT NEXT
DISK
TO CONTINUE OR [CTRL C] TO EXIT
This is
the
only time you
can
stop
the
program
without
resetting
the.
entire
system.
If
the
hard
disk
is
full
or
out
of
directory
space,
the
program
will
stop
automatically. One option available with
the
RESTORE program
(and
nowhere
else)
is
the
K
(for
"Kill") option. Use this cautiously:
this
kills (deletes)
the
file being copied,
before
it
is copied
to
the
hard disk.
The normal procedUre (without
the
K option)
that
the
program goes through is:
• The
file
in
process is copied with an extension
of
$$$.
• Once
this
file
is closed,
the
original
output
fUe will
be
killed.
• The' temporary
$$$
fUe is renamed
to
the
proper extension.
Use
the
Kill option only
if:
•
The
fUe you want
to
copy already exists on
the
hard
disk.
•
There
is
not
enough room on
the
hard disk for
the
file.
• You cannot make enough room on
the
hard
disk for
the
fUe.
