EasyWriter 1.0 Backup Procedure _______________________________ EasyWriter 1.0 Backup Procedure
You will need the following:
1. Your configured, write-protected EasyWriter 1.0 program disk
2. Your PC DOS disk.
3. A newly formatted (FORMAT B:/S) "blank" disk with COMMAND.COM
erased. We will use a different "COMMAND.COM" (later).
4. An initialized EW 1.0 data disk.
Insert the DOS disk in A: and type what is underlined.
_____A>DEBUG After debug is loaded, remove DOS, insert EW
_____________-N COMMAND.COM Name of program for debug to load
_-L Debug loads the EW loader ("COMMAND.COM")
_____-G 127 EW loader is run, EW loaded, a register dump is
displayed. Remove EW, insert "blank"
______________-M 200 6FFF 100 Relocate EW to overlay loader
_____-R CX Inspect the "CX" register
CX 00DD Old contents of CX are displayed
_____:6E80 CX = length of program for debug to write
______________-N EZWRITER.COM You must use this exact name
_-W Write EW main program to "blank" disk
_-Q Exit debug
Now copy "COMMAND.COM" from the original EW program disk to the "blank"
disk. Then copy "FORTHSCRE.EEN" from your EW data disk to the "blank"
disk. Label the "blank" disk "EasyWriter program and Data disk". This
disk contains 2 invisible DOS files, the EW loader program
("COMMAND.COM"), the EW main program (EZWRITER.COM), and a full-sized data
file area (FORTHSCR.EEN) - all on the same copyable disk! If you prefer,
you can rename COMMAND.COM as EW.COM, and copy a normal COMMAND.COM onto
the disk. This would also allow running EasyWriter 1.0 on a non-standard
disk (Winchester, 2-sided, 8", etc.).

This is a bit easier. Use menu option 2 on the "housekeeping" disk to
format 2 blank disks. Then use menu option 3 to copy the program disks as
though they were data disks!ekeeping" disk to
