Aucbvax.1952 fa.info-cpm utzoo!duke!decvax!ucbvax!FJW@MIT-MC Fri Jun 26 15:10:56 1981 MC:CPM; Reorganized Most of the files in MC:CPM; have been moved to an "archive" device. The simplified expanation of this mechanism is to consider the archive devices as "subdirectories". Normally, there is an implied device, DSK:, asssociated with each file. With a file in an archive device, you must explicitly name the archive device, ARn:. Other than that, you can reference the files as you normally do. These archive devices show up in the normal directory listing as: MC:CPM; 1 AR0 DOCFIL 32 +440 - All doc and misc files 14 AR1 COMFIL 23 +604 - All COM files 14 AR2 HLPFIL 26 +674 - All HLP files 0 AR3 SQ/USQ 12 +222 - All sources to SQ/USQ/FLS 1 AR4 APPLE 28 +875 - All APPLE/Z80 files (mostly MODEM) Each of these, in turn have their own directory listings for the individual files. (Use :FIND AR1:CPM; to list all of the COM files.) For example, to reference the HELP COM file, use AR1:CPM;HELP COM . If you have any problems with this, please send a note to INFO-CPM-REQUEST. --Frank ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
