Let me begin with a brief description of the system.
INITIALIZATION
Insert the floppy disk with CopyK into drive A: (required
A: !!! ) and type:
E> A:
A>CKI
If everything is fine, the system will display a splash screen and report
about the end of initialization. Otherwise think that you
did it wrong. If so, try to distort
floppy disk and repeat everything from the beginning. If the tenth attempt
ended in failure, contact me.
LAUNCH
The system starts with command 1:
A> 1
A> RUN
Please note: the RUN command is not entered by you,
a is called by command 1. In fact, the following happens:
next: command 1 copies the system code from segment 3
in TPA (the area in which all executions take place
programs) and calls the RUN command. The RUN utility is the crowning glory
my creations. Just for fun, you can look at her
length: 0 bytes. Thus, after calling this utility
DOS "loads" her body into TPA (actually loads
nothing - DOS turns out to be inflated in the most arrogant way)
after which it transfers control to address 100H, where as
Since CopyK is garbage. I can immediately foresee a question:
why such difficulties? I answer: it is necessary. Otherwise DOS
don't cheat. Hence the moral: the RUN utility should always
attend the currentdisk drive (or better yet on all
immediately - from copying it, like EDISK.SYS and CK.CMD,
not protected), or this utility must be marked as
system using the POW (PW) utility or using
command 1S ( setSys ) of CopyK itself and located on the system
dark drive (default A:).
WORK IN THE SYSTEM
When the system is started for the first time, it is for each of the windows
asks for the corresponding drive. Choose
you need to use the arrows (^5,^6,^7,^8, where the sign ^ means
Selects the CTRL (CapsShift) key from three options:
"A:", "B:", "E:",©which corresponds to three operating modes:
a) copying from one drive to another -
when different drives are selected
b) copying from one floppy disk to another on one
disk drive - when one is selected twice and
the same drive. When copying there will be
communicate which floppy disk needs to be inserted.
The correctness of the
did you insert the correct floppy disk or did you make a mistake?
In the future, the drive corresponding to the current window can be
change using the D command. If any window is not
necessary, it can be removed/restored using the C command.
COMMAND LINE EDITING MODE
Unlike NortonCommander in CopyK modesedited
command line and moving in windows (hereinafter he
will be called command input mode) is not compatible
puppies. I understand perfectly well that this is not very convenient,
but this is not from a good life: PROFI, like SINCLAIR,
has too few keys, so the same keys
Viches are used in different ways. To switch from mode
To enter commands into editing mode, press 9. For
reverse transition - ^1 ( Esc ). To move the cursor
in edit mode, use the keys ^5 and ^8, backspace
back ^0, forward ^G . In addition, the previously introduced
commands can be called with the ^Q and ^Z keys (respectively
moving up and down the buffer). To current position
you can insert the name of the file marked with the index by pressing
tiem ^J . And finally, you can run the command using the key
.
COMMAND INPUT MODE
In this mode, you can navigate through windows and call two
type of commands: built-in and user commands. Change
You can move around the window using the ^6 and ^7 keys (on
one position) or ^R and ^C (per page). Go from
You can move windows to windows using the ^I key. If the current window is hidden,
the pointer is invisible. The current file can be marked with the keys
"space" for later use in group
operations (copying and deleting).
BUILT-IN COMMANDS
Co.The following commands are built-in:
Q Exit CopyK
S Changing the sort method for a window
D Changing the drive corresponding to the window
^I Changing windows
C Remove/restore window
2 Call user command
9 Switch to edit mode
1 Print hint
5 Copy
8 Removal
From almost any command, if it produces a menu,
You can exit using the Esc key ( ^1 ).
USER COMMANDS
These commands are called by pressing two keys: 2+"letter"
After pressing 2, a menu with a list of commands is displayed, after
what you need to press is either one of the letters (in any case)
or Esc. When pressed incorrectly at the top
a warning appears on the screen. The teams are called
custom, because he can create them himself
user. However, this process is somewhat non-trivial.
nal, so a separate issue will be dedicated to it
KiiAInfo. For now, use the standard set
commands specified by the CK.CMD file:
@ run Call a special command using the key
I dIr List of files with extension ,
matching the extension of the current file
W setWr Remove the RO attribute from the current file
O setrO Set the RO attribute to the current file
S setSys Set to current fileSYS attribute
D setDir Remove the SYS attribute from the current file
P Power Calling the POWER utility (more precisely, PW)
T Type Display current file on screen
E Edit Edit the current file (if it is
has the extension TXT,DOC,CMD,C,H,BAK,FOR
BAS,PAS,HLP,SUB,ASM,MAC, or three spaces)
SPECIAL TEAM CHALLENGE
One of the user commands (namely 1@), you can
call in another way: move the pointer to the required
desired file and press . This will happen
the following (depending on the current file extension):
COM
the file will run
MAC,ASM
the file is assembled
SUB, three spaces
the file will run as a command file
TXT,DOC,CMD,C,H,BAK,FOR,BAS,PAS,HLP
the file will be displayed on the screen
In other cases, an error message will be displayed.
COPYING
Copying is called up with key 5. Selected items are copied.
files of the current drive to the drive corresponding
another window (both windows should be displayed). If not
no files are marked, the current one is pre-marked.
DELETE
Delete is called with key 8. Selected items are deleted.
files of the current drive (the window should be displayed).
If no file is marked, it is pre-marked
current.CHANGE USER ZONE
To change the USER zone, move the pointer to the pseudo-file
USERS.NN (where NN is the current zone) and press .
A list of 16 pseudo-files USER.0 ... will appear in the window.
USER.15. Select one of them and click again
.
NOTE
This version can work with 64- or 80-character
console, but always 30 lines.
Well, for the first acquaintance with the system, this is more
than enough . Wait for the next issues of our "newspaper".
