contents of a minifloppy diskette to the PSEUDO DISK.

The fast access times of the PSEUDO DISK may be utilized for files

thus transferred.

C. EXECUTING FASTCOPY

Warning: Fastcopy is designed to over—write any files

existing on the destination diskette. (See “intended use” above

and “notes” below.)

FASTCOPY may be executed from any Volume or Drive.

Upon execution, FASTCOPY will present a menu for you to

select U)ploading or D)ownloading or Q)uit.

FASTCOPY will then ask for source or destination volume, as

appropriate, and perform the task indicated by your answers.

D. NOTES ON THE USE OF FASTCOPY:

FASTCOPY transfers the directory of the source and all the

blocks on the source or all the blocks that will fit on the

destination, whichever is the smaller number. FASTCOPY will then

modify the directory of the destination to show only those files

transferred in the event the source volume contained more files

than would fit on the destination volume.

FASTCOPY makes a block for block transfer, moving the

directory and used and unused blocks, just as they appear on the

source. Thus, it is important that the source volume be crunched

(or have no unused blocks between files) in order to transfer as

many files as possible. If the destination is larger than the

source volume, then complete transfer will always be obtained.

FASTCOPY makes changes to the directory of the destination

volume after the transfer to show the names of the files

transferred. If all the files had not been transferred as

expected, based on the file space available on the destination

volume, it is probably because unused blocks were transferred.

The solution to this problem is to crunch the source and run

FASTCOPY again.

FASTCOPY does not change the name of the PSEUDO DISK to that

of the source volume name. Thus the Pseudo—disk will retain the

volume name “Pseudo” to distinguish it from the source volume

that you may desire to leave on line. When the contents of

PSEUDO are transferred back to a minifloppy, the original name of

the source volume is restored on the directory of that diskette.

This eliminates any problems that might otherwise be encountered

by having two volumes on line with the same name.
