┴╥├250
╔F YOU'RE PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN USING
┴╥├ TO CREATE AND DISSOLVE FILES ON A
├-64 WITH A SINGLE DISK DRIVE, THESE
SIMPLIFIED (GREATLY SIMPLIFIED) DOCS
SHOULD BE ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED. ╔F YOU
LATER DECIDE TO UTILIZE MORE OF THE
MANY FEATURES ┴╥├ HAS, GET THE FULL
DOCUMENTATION (ITS BIG!).
─ATE: ┴╥├ BOOTS UP WITH A DEFAULT DATE
OF 1 ╩AN, 1980. ╔F YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO
DISSOLVE AN ┴╥├HIVE, THERE'S NO NEED TO
CHANGE THIS. ╚OWEVER, IF YOU ARE GOING
TO CREATE AN ┴╥├HIVE, YOU SHOULD TYPE
IN THE CURRENT DATE BECAUSE IT WILL BE
RECORDED ON THE ┴╥├FILE YOU CREATE. ─O
THIS BY TYPING "DATE", A SPACE, DD,MM,
YYYY. ╞OR EXAMPLE, TODAY'S DATE IS THE
2ND OF ╩ANUARY, 1988, SO ╔ WOULD ENTER:
"DATE 02,01,1988" AND HIT ╥┼╘╒╥╬.
╙PACES: ┴╥├ USES A SPACE TO SEPARATE
FILENAMES. ┴ PROBLEM CAN OCCUR IF THERE
IS A SPACE ╫╔╘╚╔╬ A FILENAME. ╞OR
EXAMPLE, IF YOU TYPE "TESTFILE 2.0",
┴╥├ WILL SEARCH FOR (AND NOT FIND)
"TESTFILE" AND THEN SEARCH FOR "2.0",
AS IF THEY WERE TWO SEPARATE FILES.
╞ORTUNATELY, THERE'S A SIMPLE SOLUTION
TO THIS; JUST USE A ╙╚╔╞╘┼─ ╙╨┴├┼
BETWEEN THE "TESTFILE" AND THE "2.0",
WHICH WILL LOOK LIKE A NORMAL SPACE ON
THE SCREEN, BUT WILL BE DISTINGUISHED
FROM A REGULAR SPACE SEPARATING TWO
FILENAMES.
─ISSOLVING AN ┴╥├HIVE FILE:
"ARC/X FILENAME" (EASY!)
┼XTRACTS ALL FILES FROM THE ┴╥├FILE
CALLED "FILENAME" ON DRIVE A: (DEVICE
8/DRIVE 0 LIKE A 1541/1571 WOULD BE).
├REATING ┴╥├HIVE FILES: (A LITTLE
TRICKY, BUT NOT REALLY DIFFICULT)
"ARC/C ARCNAME FILENAME FILENAME ETC."
"ARC/C ARCNAME *" (ALL FILES ON DISK)
"ARC/C ARCNAME B*" (ALL FILES STARTING
WITH THE LETTER "B")
┼XAMPLE: ╠ETS SAY YOU WANT TO CREATE
AN ┴╥├FILE CONSISTING OF FILES THAT ARE
NAMED "ABCD", "FILE1", "FILE2", AND
"DOCS" AND THAT YOU WANT TO CALL THE
RESULTING ┴╥├FILE "TEST".
┘OU COULD COPY THESE 4 FILES ONTO A
BLANK DISK FIRST AND USE THE WILDCARD
"*":
"ARC/C TEST *"
╧R, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COPY THEM OVER
TO A BLANK DISK, YOU CAN TYPE OUT EACH
FILENAME, SEPARATED BY SPACES:
"ARC/C TEST ABCD FILE1 FILE2 DOCS"
┼ITHER METHOD CREATES AN ┴╥├HIVE FILE
CALLED "TEST.ARC" ON DRIVE A. ╬OTE THAT
THE ".ARC" GETS PUT ON AUTOMATICALLY.
┘OU NEVER HAVE TO TYPE THE ".ARC" WHEN
ENTERING AN ┴╥├NAME.
─IRECTORY: "DIR" (LISTS FILENAMES IN
THE DISK DIRECTORY)
╔T IS VERY HANDY TO LIST THE DIRECTORY
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE USING ┴╥├/├ OR ┴╥├/╪
SO THAT ALL THE FILENAMES YOU'LL NEED
TO TYPE IN WILL BE LISTED ON THE SCREEN.
─ELETE: "DEL FILENAME" (ERASES A FILE
(OR SEVERAL FILES)
FROM THE DISK)
╘O SCRATCH A FILE CALLED "TEST", JUST
TYPE "DEL TEST". ╔F YOU HAVE 4 FILES
NAMED "TEST1", "TEST2", "TEST3", AND
"TEST4" AND YOU WANT TO DELETE ALL 4,
JUST TYPE "DEL TEST*" AND EVERY FILE
THAT BEGINS WITH "TEST" WILL BE DELETED.
╥ENAME: "REN OLDNAME NEWNAME"
(TO RENAME FILES)
╘O RENAME A FILE CALLED "TEMP" TO
"PERM", JUST TYPE "REN TEMP PERM"
╠IST: "ARC/L ARCFILE" (LISTS OUT
THE CONTENTS OF
AN ┴╥├'ED FILE)
├OLORS: ┘OU CAN CHANGE THE DEFAULT
COLORS FOR THE SCREEN BORDER, SCREEN
BACKGROUND, AND CURSOR BY ╨╧╦╔╬╟ THE
STANDARD ├OMMODORE COLOR NUMBERS (0-15)
TO ANY COLOR COMBINATION YOU PREFER,
AS FOLLOWS:
╠╧┴─"┴╥├250",8
╨╧╦┼ 20815,N (BACKGROUND)
╨╧╦┼ 20820,N (BORDER)
╨╧╦┼ 20825,N (CURSOR)
╙┴╓┼"NEW NAME",8
╔F YOU WANT TO CREATE A ╙─┴ (SELF-
DISSOLVING ┴╥├) FILE, FIRST CREATE THE
┴╥├FILE AS SHOWN ABOVE, THEN USE ONE OF
THE SEPARATE ╙─┴ UTILITIES TO CHANGE
THE FILE FROM ".┴╥├" TO ".╙─┴".
╒TILITIES TO CONVERT FROM ".┴╥├" TO
".╙─┴" ARE AVAILABLE ON ╤-╠INK AND ON
MANY LOCAL ┬┬╙'S. ═Y FAVORITE IS
"┴╥├-╙─┴ ╓4.5", WRITTEN BY ═ARK ╥HODES.
╘HAT'S ALL MOST OF US WILL EVER NEED TO
KNOW TO USE ┴╥├. ╔F YOU WANT MORE, THEN
YOU'LL NEED THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION.
╞OR THE LATEST ┴╥├ VERSION, CURRENT
DOCUMENTATION, AND ┴╥├ OWNERSHIP
REGISTRATION ╔ SUGGEST YOU SEND $20 TO
