Once
you
have
selected
the
source
and
target
drives,
the
screen
will
display:
INSERT DISKETTES
AND
PRESS [RETURN] TO BEGIN, OR
[eTRL
e]
TO
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" ABORT
It
does
no
harm
to
place
the
diskettes'in
the
drives
at
the
beginning of
the
procedure,
in
which
case
you
would
simply
press
[RETURN]
at
this
time.
However,
be
sure
that
you
have
the
source
and
the
target
diskettes in
the
correct
drives. (You wouldn't want
to
copy a blank
diskette
over
a
diskette
full
of
a
week's
work.)
One
way
to
prevent this would
be
to
place a
write
protect
tab over
the
write
enable notch on
the
diskette.
Also,
if
you
discover
at
this
time
that
the
diskette you have in
the
target
drive contains information you wish
to
keep, press [CTRL
e)
and
you
will
not
lose
it.
The
STORE
Command
This
program
serves
the
same function
as
DISKCOPY,
but
is used
to
back
up
files from a hard disk
to
a floppy.
(If
your system only has floppy drives,
you
can
ignore
this
section,
as
well
as
the
section
on RESTORE.)
For
more
information on
the
STORE and RESTORE
programs,
refer
to
the
section
on
Extended CP
1M
Transient Commands.
One
word
of
caution
before
you
plan
your
entire
office system:
the
STORE
and
RESTORE grOi'rams will only
take
fUes with names
of
seven
characters
or
l&a.sa.
This
is
because
the
STORE program adds a number
to
the end
of
each
filename
that
has
to
be
continued
onto
another floppy diskette,
to
indicate
whether
it
belongs
on
disk 0, disk
1,
disk 2,
et
cetera
•.
Since
CP/M
allows
eight
characters
per
filename, this
extra
number has
to
come from somewhere.
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 ambiguous file name and unambiguous
file
nam e
specification.
To
copy
all
files
from
the
A disk
to
the
C floppy drive (again,
the
specific
letters
used in your system
may
be
different), you would
enter
(while
logged
into
the
A drive):
A)
. STORE C:=*.* [RETURN]
