Information for PROFI computer owners

I'm very sorry, but I couldn't make my information.
tithe weekly. After all, it happened for a reason
my super- and extra- employment. I'm sure you knowwhat
case, you'll forgive me.
And now about the same in more detail.
************************************************************
************************************************************
So, in order:
a) two modes of information display: full (FULL)
and brief (BRIEF). The old one supported only the first
when files are displayed in one column: name, attribute
butts (RO and SYS), length. In the second mode, display
Only the name is shown, but in two columns, which is usually
provides some benefits. Menu for changing mode
called by the [B] key.
b) Now there is no need to carry it with you everywhere
this tail as a free app as well
namely the RUN utility. No, she is still called,
and it works exactly the same as before, only
but you won’t find it on the disk (and if you find it, then
you can get there with a feeling of deep satisfaction
delete it). Now there's another level
cheating the system (if you remember, the first one consisted
is that the system thought it was loading a utility, and
transferred control to it, which, due to zero
the length of this very utility led to the launch of CopyK)
Previously, DOS at least carried out a full search
according to the directory of the RUN.COM file, now itshamelessly
deprived of even this sacred duty: during
initialization of CopyK on DOS hangs small
a patch that when the system tries to search for a file
RUN.COM informs her that the file has not only been found,
but also loaded. So with the RUN command now
you can work as simply as with the D(IR) command,
there will be no disk accesses.
c) Two more new commands have appeared: Select and Unselect,
accordingly, the command for selecting the sorting type is now
it's not called Sort, but sOrt (if that doesn't mean anything to you
says, let me explain: it is now called not by key
[S], which is now responded to by Select, and by key
she [O] ). The Select command allows you to mark by any
or a template at once a group of files, respectively,
Unselect - uncheck a template. In the first version
this could be done with files one at a time
using a space (this feature is also available in the new version
preserved). The template must be in CAPITAL
ANGLIJSKIH letters, symbols allowed
? and * as a replacement for any letter or group of letters.
d) The new version automatically configures
per console size, up to a 32x24 console. Previously
Thirty-line text was required for workconsole.
e) Now the system clings not to the file position, but to
his name. For example, in the old version the pointer was
on the TTT2.COM file, which was preceded by the TTT1.COM file,
and after - TTT3.COM. Then, if you log out at
DOS, delete the TTT1 file and return to the system, specifying
The body would already be on the TTT3 file, because he ended up on
place TTT2 in numerical order. In the new version of this
will not happen: the pointer will remain on the file
TTT2.
f) Reading a directory from a disk drive has been significantly accelerated.
Now, before re-reading the directory again,
checks whether it has changed and whether the buffer is corrupted
directory in the system workspace. If neither,
nothing else happened, there are simply no directories
re-read.
g) And finally, working with TR-DOS. Driver for this system
did not fit into the body of CopyK itself, so if necessary
it is overlaid (loaded) from disk. None
no new commands are needed, only one is required:
learn to read at least in Russian, that's all you need
to do, the system itself will tell you along the way.
For fun, insert the TR-DOS floppy disk into A: and call
Enter the [D]rive command. The system itself will determine what
the floppy disk is TR-DOS and will most likely display the message:"Insert the distribution disk into drive A." You take out
Take from A: your TR-DOS disk, insert the disk
with CopyK and press any key. After
a message will be given as the driver is loaded
“insert your floppy disk into drive A:”, you obediently
follow the machine's recommendation, insert into A:
your TR-DOS disk and press the key. Via
After some time, the panel will be redrawn, and at the top it
parts, instead of “CP/M” there will be “TR-DOS”.
Possible options: if the TR-DOS disk is in B:,
and the distribution is in A:, then there is no need to remove the disks,
Simply press a key in response to prompts.
If you have an electronic disk and copied it to
van driver TR-DOS (and it is called CK.TR), then
no requests will be issued at all.
Please note that when copying a file
from system to system it can be slightly transformed
van, which is due to the big difference between CP/M and TR-DOS:
- in CP/M in names and extensions only
capital letters and a limited set of other symbols
catch, so TR-DOS names are converted:
small letters are replaced by capital ones, prohibited
symbols and spaces in the middle of the name - to "!".
- inavoiding confusion TR-DOS extensions
(single-letter) are complemented to three-letter
attributing "TR", so don't be surprised
seeing instead of ".h.a.t.e .B" "!H!A!T!E .BTR".
- in CP/M the file length is determined accurate to
128 bytes, in TR-DOS - up to a byte, so when copying
The file may grow slightly during storage.
- information such as, for example,
starting address of the TR-DOS block, therefore NOT
IT IS WORTH USING COpyK TO COPY FROM TR-DOS
In TR-DOS, the toys will still not launch.
For these purposes, there are a bunch of shells purely
Sinclair's. My system is designed for
importing information from system to system, for example
for transferring texts or screenshots.
A little about payment for those who have already purchased the first version
CopyK. Come to us with the old distribution, the old version
This one will be erased for you, and a new one will be written in its place. Pay you
You will only need the difference in the cost of the versions.
In short, IF YOU PURCHASED THE FIRST VERSION, BUY THE SECOND
and you will see how much more convenient it has become to work. IF YOU
HAVE NOT BUYED ANY VERSION YET, BUY A NEW ONE AND YOU WILL BE SURE
THAT YOUR APPROACH TO WORKING WITH A COMPUTER WILL CHANGE.
