EasyWriter 1.0 Backup Procedure

EasyWriter 1.0 Backup Procedure
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
You will need the following:
|
|||
|
|
1. Your configured, write-protected EasyWriter 1.0 program disk
|
|||
|
|
2. Your PC DOS disk.
|
|||
|
|
3. A newly formatted (FORMAT B:/S) "blank" disk with COMMAND.COM
|
|||
|
|
erased. We will use a different "COMMAND.COM" (later).
|
|||
|
|
4. An initialized EW 1.0 data disk.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Insert the DOS disk in A: and type what is underlined.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
_____
A>DEBUG After debug is loaded, remove DOS, insert EW
|
|||
|
|
_____________
-N COMMAND.COM Name of program for debug to load
|
|||
|
|
_
-L Debug loads the EW loader ("COMMAND.COM")
|
|||
|
|
_____
-G 127 EW loader is run, EW loaded, a register dump is
|
|||
|
|
displayed. Remove EW, insert "blank"
|
|||
|
|
______________
-M 200 6FFF 100 Relocate EW to overlay loader
|
|||
|
|
_____
-R CX Inspect the "CX" register
|
|||
|
|
CX 00DD Old contents of CX are displayed
|
|||
|
|
_____
:6E80 CX = length of program for debug to write
|
|||
|
|
______________
-N EZWRITER.COM You must use this exact name
|
|||
|
|
_
-W Write EW main program to "blank" disk
|
|||
|
|
_
-Q Exit debug
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now copy "COMMAND.COM" from the original EW program disk to the "blank"
|
|||
|
|
disk. Then copy "FORTHSCRE.EEN" from your EW data disk to the "blank"
|
|||
|
|
disk. Label the "blank" disk "EasyWriter program and Data disk". This
|
|||
|
|
disk contains 2 invisible DOS files, the EW loader program
|
|||
|
|
("COMMAND.COM"), the EW main program (EZWRITER.COM), and a full-sized data
|
|||
|
|
file area (FORTHSCR.EEN) - all on the same copyable disk! If you prefer,
|
|||
|
|
you can rename COMMAND.COM as EW.COM, and copy a normal COMMAND.COM onto
|
|||
|
|
the disk. This would also allow running EasyWriter 1.0 on a non-standard
|
|||
|
|
disk (Winchester, 2-sided, 8", etc.).
|
|||
