ATARI STtm COMMAND PROCESSOR PROGRAM v0.01
PRELIMINARY DOCUMENTATION
Caveats of this version:
1. No redirection.
2. No single drive copies.
3. No batch processing.
4. Input to copy command must come from a valid file.
5. Has not been tested with ramdisks or hard drives.
SUPPORTED COMMANDS:
1. CLS
Clears the screen.
2. DIRECTORY <drive> <pathname> <filename.ext>
Displays file names and file sizes of the qualifiers or defaults
to the current drive / directory.
3. DELETE <drive> <pathname> filename.ext
ERASE <drive> <pathname> filename.ext
Irreversibly deletes the specified file.
4. RENAME <drive> <pathname> filename.ext <drive> <pathname> filename.ext
Renames file from first qualifier to second qualifier.
5. VERSION
Displays copyright message and the version number.
6. TYPE <drive> <pathname> filename.ext
Displays file in textual format on the screen. Same as copy
filename.ext con:
7. COPY <drive> <pathname> filename.ext <drive> <pathname> filename.ext
Copy from one file to another. If destination already exists
source is appended to destination. Supports the following
destinations:
con: console
prt: or lpt: parallel port
aux: or ser: serial port
8. CDIR <drive> pathname
Changes current directory.
9. MKDIR <drive> pathname
Makes a new subdirectory.
10. RMDIR <drive> pathname
Removes an empty subdirectory.
11. EXIT
QUIT
Terminates program and returns to desktop.
If the command typed is not an intrinsic command (one of the above) it
searches the current drive for a program to run, therefore no program can
have the same name as an intrinsic command. You must include the extension
with the name, i.e. CP.PRG. Reasonable defaults are assumed throughout.
The basic structure is to simulate an MS-DOS command environment, hence the
similarity. Following versions will correct current bugs and incorporate
the above caveats. This program is not in the public domain and cannot be
sold. It may be freely distributed as long as the copyright remains intact.
Donations, criticism and suggestions are highly welcome:
