Catalogue Files

Gives fuller information about a specified list of files. The subset of files to be catalogued is specified after the prompt

Name :   

Reply as follows:

Each file will be listed as:

* in characters.

(The last updated time and date are only relevant if OPENUP is used from BASIC.) If the file is open at the time it is catalogued, the size will not be shown.

When you catalogue or save to a blank EPROM, the display will go blank for a few seconds while the EPROM is checked.

     Source : 
Destination :

Source: specifies the name of the file in the EPROM.

Destination: gives the name it is to be saved as in the destination filing system. It is initially set to the same as the source name, but you can edit it if you want to save the file under a different name.

Copy

Makes a second copy of a file. Gives the prompt

    Name :

allowing you to specify the file name to be copied, followed by the prompt

    Name : 
New name :

For example, to change the name of a file from game.bas to 0ldversion you would specify

    Name : game.bas 
New name : oldversion

Note that you cannot use the Rename command to move a file from one directory or device to another. The new name must be a simple file name; devices and path names are not permitted.

Erase

Allows one or more files to be removed from the filing system. Gives the prompt

Name :

followed by the prompt

Confirm each file ? Yes

Pressing 

You will not be permitted to erase a file which is in use; for example, a directory containing other files, or an open BASIC file.

Files can only be erased from the EPROM with the ultra-violet EPROM eraser.

Note that because parts of an erased file may still be present, you should not rely on the Erase command for disposing of confidential information from the system.
