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.).
