Some changes have been made to COPY since the manual was written.
|
|
Comparison of dates with Existence testing ON has been changed to
|
|
use the Creation date when no Modified date exists, and print
|
|
"Undated" when neither exists, yet both source and destination
|
|
disks support file date stamping. Additionally, the /X option
|
|
has been re-defined, and a new /R option has been added to
|
|
Version 1.4. Please replace Paragraph 4.1.2.9 on page 55 of your
|
|
ZSDOS manual with the following two paragraphs describing the new
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1.2.9.1 ERASE SOURCE FILE AFTER COPY.
|
|
|
|
When you want to "move" a file from one area to another, the "X"
|
|
option may be used. This option causes a file or group of files
|
|
to be copied in the manner described by the default or specified
|
|
options, but after the copy and optional verify, the source file
|
|
or files are erased. You will be notified that the file has been
|
|
erased by the status "(X)" being printed on your console. To
|
|
minimize the possibility of deleting a good file when errors
|
|
exist in the copy, the Verify option should always be active,
|
|
either by default, or specified. When Verify is active, any
|
|
errors detected will disable the "X" option for that file so that
|
|
a good source file will not be deleted. The "X" option has no
|
|
configurable value, and is always assumed to be "Off" requiring
|
|
the option in the command line list to be effective.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.1.2.9.2 COPY ONLY FILES WHICH EXIST (REPLACE).
|
|
|
|
Occasionally, you may wish to update selected files to a destina-
|
|
tion in a simpler manner than naming each file, or using the
|
|
Inspect option. The "R" (Replace) option, when active, tells
|
|
COPY to transfer only files which exist on the destination direc-
|
|
tory. If the Archive option (A) is added in conjunction with the
|
|
Replace option, only files which have not been archived, AND
|
|
already exist on the destination will be archived. It should be
|
|
noted that the No Replacement (N) option is incompatible with
|
|
both the Replace and Archive options, and is disabled when either
|
|
"R" or "A" are active.
