would prove most useful.
|
Anyway without much further ado we'll give you a run
|
down of the commands available.....
|
[square brackets] indicate optional parameters
|
<angle brackets> indicate required parameters
|
d: is a drive letter
|
(usually a destination drive)
|
s: is a drive letter
|
(usually a source drive)

1) general DOS commands
|
a:
|
Selects drive a as the default drive. Whenever a
|
command uses a drive letter as an optional parameter, and
|
you do not specify the drive letter, the default drive will
|
be used. Valid drives are the letters a through h
|
d:filename
|
This will search drive d: for the program specified and
|
if it is found it will be run. If its a machine language
|
program, then ARC will SYS to its load address. Note that
|
the LOAD is non relocating. That is .. its the same as LOAD
|
with ,8,1
|
date dd,mm,yyyy
|
This is used to set the date. dd is the day, mm is the
|
month, and yyyy is the year. Since the date is stored
|
internally in the same format as used on the IBM PC, the
|
possible values for yyyy are 1980 through 1980+127.
|
If you enter an illegal value for one of the above
|
parameters, then the date won't change.
|
The date is stored in the header to every archive
|
entry, and is a useful way to keep track of which backup is
|
more recent than another. It is also useful when posting
|
programs on bulletin boards for public access, as it
|
indicates how recent a particular version of a program is.
|
Of course, the date won't always be meaningful. In this case
|
we suggest you just leave it set to the default of
|
01jan1980.
