TTLEXEC ST Programmer's Manual TTLEXEC
NAME
ttlexec - execute hard disk backup
SYNOPSIS
ttlexec [-acdfinost] path [...path]
DESCRIPTION
ttlexec does disk backup to floppies by reading the specified
path name(s) and writing either all files, or all unarchived
files. It uses a RAMDISK to create an in-memory image of the
floppy to write, then does a track-by-track copy of the RAMdisk
image. The only RAMdisks useable are TRDNSS.PRG for normal format
single sided diskettes, TRDNDS.PRG for double sided normal format
diskettes, TRDTSS.PRG for "TWISTER" format single sided diskettes,
and TRDTDS.PRG for "TWISTER" format double sided diskettes.
Before executing ttlexec, nearly all of the system memory must be
available.
-a inhibit setting the ARCHIVE bit on files as they are copied.
Normally the ARCHIVE bit is set as the files are backed up.
-c # write # copies of each disk. Normally, only one copy of each
diskette is written.
-d hold screen after completion. Normally used only when invoked
from the desktop.
-f format floppies before writing. Normally floppies are assumed
to be formatted and ready for writing. They need not be erased
since ttlexec will over-write any existing data on the disks.
Only normal format diskettes can be formatted, "TWISTER" disks
must be pre-formatted.
-i incremental backup. Copy only the files with the ARCHIVE bit
reset. Normally, all files are copied.
-n # number the output disks starting with #. Normally output disks
are numbered beginning with 1.
-o only files are to be copied. All files in the named path are
backed up (unless -i is specified), but folders within the named
path are not backed up.
-s single sided output disks. Normally output is prepared for
double sided disks.
-t write diskettes in "TWISTER" format.
-v verify output disks. Normally output disks are written, but not
read back.
BUGS
GEMDOS has a significant problem when over 40 folders are accessed
between system resets. Avoid this by backing up specific path names
to control the number of folders read and written between resets.
An error will occur if more than 112 files are written to the root
directory of the RAMdisk between floppy writes.
