Notes on CHGDISK.COM
This program allows an Advent Ramdisk which is running under the
TurboROM to be reconfigured before use to have different disk
parameters. The choices can be viewed by running the program
without any arguments. The only caution is that the program
should not be run twice in succession without logging on to the
Ram drive (a simple directory will suffice). Note that if the
drive is not empty when you run this program, and you proceed
with the parameter changes, the contents of the drive had better
have been written to the drive when it had the same parameters!
This program will not be supported by Plu*Perfect Systems, but it
has proved useful in our own use. The source code is provided as
an example of how sophisticated changes can be made in a safe
manner to the TurboROM operating environment. It is understood
that very few of you will havve the Digital Research PL/I-80
compiler necessary to modify the code. If you do experiment with
similar types of code please test your code in a safe
environment, it is very easy to destroy a hard disk contents with
programs that manipulate the ROM scratch areas.
