About Microcomputer Files
ETU works with several types of microcomputers, including IBM PCs (and
compatibles) and Apple Maces. Throughout this guide, these computers are
referred to as micros. When you perform an ETU command that works with a
PC or Mac file, you will be asked to provide the micro file name. The
micro file names can contain up to 80 characters, including the file
path.
File Formats
Because of the various microcomputers supported by ETU, the micro file
name must follow the format required by the operating system of the
attached microcomputer. Descriptions of the file name formats for PC-DOS
and the Apple Mac are listed below. Refer to the user guide for your
microcomputer's operating system for additional information.
PC-DOS
Format: drive:\pathname\micro_file_name.ext
Example: C:\SUBDIR1\EXAMPLE.TXT
where:
drive is C:
pathname is SUBDIR1
micro_file_name is EXAMPLE.TXT
The file name may be up to 8 characters long; an extension (.ext) is
optional and may be up to 3 characters long.
Apple Mac
Format: disk:pathname:micro_file_name
Example: APPLEDRIVE:FOLDER1:WORKSHEET
where:
disk is APPLEDRIVE
pathname is FOLDER1
micro_file_name is WORKSHEET
This example applies to Mac files transferred to one destination. See
Chapter 9, Advanced ETU Features, for information about transferring
files to or from multiple Maces.
NOTE: If you enter an ETU command on the command line or in a CL
procedure, you must place single quote marks (') around the
microcomputer's path and file name. For example, 'C:\SUBDIR1\EXAMPLE.TXT’
