VII. USING FILEMOVER:

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE:

FILEMOVER is a utility program designed to read a data file

(FILEMARKER.DATA) containing a list of filenames that reside on a

floppy diskette and transfer these files from that disk up to the

Pseudo—Disk. It has been designed to be a startup program whose

function is to pre—load the Pseudo—Disk with files that are

regularly required by the user when the system is first turned

on. A provision has been made for execution of a user startup

program when FILEMOVER has finished.

B. EXECUTING FILEMOVER:

If FILEMOVER is renamed SYSTEM.STARTUP, it will be run

automatically at boot—time. (Providing it is on the diskette you

are using to boot the system.) However, if this is not desired

it may be started by executing the program whenever the Command

prompt is displayed. This may be done with FILEMOVER on any

volume or drive. FILEMOVER has no menu options, it will run

automatically requiring operator response only when a condition

is detected that requires operator intervention. (These

conditions are listed below.)

If you desire another program to be run upon completion of

FILEMOVER, such as a startup program, merely name your program

STARTUP.CODE. FILEMOVER attempts to execute a file named

STARTUP.CODE as it finishes. Finding none, it exits normally,

and the Command line appears.

C. NOTES ON THE USE OF FILEMOVER:

(The file FILEMARKER.DATA mentioned below is created by the

program FILEMARKER.)

FILEMOVER attempts to read FILEMARKER.DATA from the prefix

volume. (This will be the same as the Root Volume name at boot

time.) FILEMOVER reads the volume name contained in

FILEMARKER.DATA. This volume name points to the diskette

containing the files to be transferred. FILEMOVER then looks at

that volume for the files and transfers them to Pseudo—disk if

they are present. A report is made to the screen as each file is

transferred and notice is given of each file requested but not

found.

If a file with the same name is already present on Pseudo—

disk, as may be the case when rebooting, then no transfer takes

place. The file present on Pseudo—disk is not over—written.

FILEMOVER then continues moving files not already present but

requested, if there are such files.
