AE.FID (or=)
Specifies filename of first file to
copy. The equal sign
(=) is a
wild card character meaning
“copy all”.
Repeat the above steps for each file you want copied or, if you’ve
pressed
“=“,
you won’t need to repeat the steps for individual
file copying.
S (or any key) Returns you to the AE FID
menu.
9 Quits and returns you to the
BASIC prompt.
CATALOG Lists the directory of the
destination disk.
The Rest of FID
Following is a description of each of AE FID’s menu options.
<1> COPY FILES
As in the instructions above, this command lets you
transfer files from source to destination. Use “=“ (equal
sign) for “copy all.” You can also use it to copy all files with
certain letters. For example, =FX= will copy all file with FX
in the name.
Prompting will list each file and wait for you to type “Y” to
copy or “N” to skip to the next file.
<2> CATALOG
This command gives you a directory listing of the DOS
volumes currently online.
The first time you select this option in a session, you’ll be
asked to specify the slot, drive, and volume. The
subsequent times, you’ll be returned to the volume last
chosen. To view a different volume, use <7> RESET SLOT
AND DRIVE before pressing <2> again.
<3> SPACE ON DISK
Use this command to show the amount of space (sectors)
free and used for each volume,
140K volumes will have 528 sectors free after initializing.
400K volumes will have 1536 sectors free. If you use INIT
to write a boot image to volume 1, you’ll have 490 sectors
free. (V1 must be a 140K volume).
