Re: DOS Commands?

Hi!

Unfortunately I don't know where you can find a DOS 3.3 Manual.

However I remember the commands:

INIT <name> - Format a disc. BASIC Program that was in memory is write to
              disk and named <name>. Look this command write DOS in new
              disk making it BOOTable. When BOOT, <name> will run.

CATALOG - List disk contents

LOAD <name> - Load BASIC program in memory.

RUN <name> - Load BASIC program in memory and then run it.

SAVE <name> - Save current program in disk whit name.

BLOAD and BSAVE <name> ,A$xxxx,L$yyyy - Load and save binary data in/from
                                        disk. Sintax is similar to LOAD
                                        and SAVE except for the arguments
                                        A$ and L$, respectively initial
                                        adress and lenght of the bytes (in
                                        hexadecimal; if you want to use
                                        decimal numbers remove "$" from A$
                                        and L$)



More commands exist but they are used in programs (like OPEN, CLOSE,
WRITE, MAXFILES etc).
If you need more info mail-me. I will be happy in help you.
