Info
titleReally useful Command

Many users overlook this inconspicuous command because they fail to grasp what it really means.

When a flash card has a large number of deleted files, these files take up space. The normal method of getting this space back is to save the files to RAM, Format the Flash card and then save them back onto the Flash card agaon.

With this command, you can sae all the files directly to another Flash card (which can already be Formatted) thus saving the need to go through the RAM card.

 

This command is used when you wish to copy all the files from the current file area, to either an EPROM or flash card, to another flash card without having to load the files into RAM. Using two flash cards you can reclaim the deleted file area from one card by just copying all the files to the other flash card.

...

If you have more than two flash cards to copy to, you will be prompted for its slot number.

Only one copy of Flashstore is required despite the number of flash cards used. For example, if you have the standard OZ 2.2 version running in slot 0, you could have your Applications (including FlashStore) in slot 2 and read any of your "master" files from there, whilst using another Flash card in slot 3 for current files.

Two Flash CardsImage Modified

When running OZ in slot 1and RAM in slot 2 you still have slot 3 to use the additional flash card to do what is described.
