EMCOPY COMMAND
13. 1 - - Use
SUFFIX?
ATTRIBUTES?
The
operator
can
assign
an
explicit suffix
by
entering it
after
the
"SUFFIX?"
promptl
and
he
can
assign
explicit
attributes
by
entering the
appropirate
attribute
letters (A,
C,
D,
R) after the "ATTRIBUTES?" prompt.
The
default
suffix
liED"
and
the
default
attribute
ItA
n
can
be
assigned
by
responding with
only
a
carriage
return.
If
an
invalid
attribute
is
entered
by
the
operator,
the "ATTRIBUTES?"
prompt will be
redisplsyedJ
forcing the
operator
to
enter
new
attributes.
This
procedure will continue until all
entries
from the EDOS directory have been processed.
At
that
time
the
message
NO MORE FILES
~ill
be displayed and
control
returned
to
MDOS.
13.2 File Differences Between EDOS and MDOS
Both
EDOS
and
MDOS
systems support the ASCII
and
the
binary record format.
The ASCII record rormat
is
primarily
used
for source program
riles and object program
riles in
the
EXbug-loadable
'o~mat.
The
binary
reco~d
rormat
i$
used
primarily
ror the relocatable object output Files created by
the Macro
Assembler~
RASM.

The'EMCOPY command will tTansfer either
t~pe
of
fi~e
on
a
sector-by-sector
basis.
Thus,
af~er
a file is copied
to
the MDOS diskette,
its sectors
are
still in the same internal
