- Description : Description of the PC PUTFILE command that is part of the ARMEdit
- suite.
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- The "PUTFILE" command is a replacement for the command of the same name that
- was supplied with Acorn's software PC emulator. It allows DOS files to be
- transferred to RISC OS. To use this command it is necessary to load the
- ARMEdit module before starting the PC front-end.
-
-
- USAGE
-
- The syntax is:
-
- PUTFILE [/?] <DOS file> [<RISC OS file>]
-
- where
-
- /? - Displays some help text.
- <DOS file> - The source DOS file to copy.
- <RISC OS file> - The destination RISC OS file.
-
- If no destination filename is specified then the source filename is used with
- various character transformations performed.
-
- The filetype is selected using the mappings set up using the DOSMap command.
- This is initially cached when the ARMEdit module starts, but may be reread
- at any time using the command ARMEdit_DOSMap.
-
-
- THINGS TO DO
-
- The following are changes that may be made to the PUTFILE command sometime in
- the future.
-
- Set date stamp and file attributes of destination file.
-
- Support wildcarded souce file specifications to transfer multiple files.
