Your Corvus drive should already be configured and linked. To rur
the program TANGENT (as
an example) on Drive D of the Corvu~
disk drive, type D:TANGENT and press <RETURN>. The computel
goes to Drive D:, finds TANGENT, and runs the program.
How to Save a File
Once a Corvus drive has been linked to your computer systerr
with one of the CLINK programs, it works just
like a giant floppy dis~
drive, and CP/M programs work in the usual manner. Save files or
a Corvus drive just
as you would on a floppy, specifying the drive anc
file name, plus the extension (optional).
How to Copy a File
Files are copied from one drive (either physical
or virtual) tc
another drive, using the PIP program in CP/M. Since one physica
Corvus drive is made
to look like either two or three floppy drive~
(virtual drives), you can have duplicate files on the Corvus, ortransfel
material from the floppy drives to the Corvus and vice-versa. Tc
move the TEXT.TXT file (as an example) from Drive C: on the Corvu~
disk to Drive B: on the floppy drive, first make sure the CP/M bool
diskette is in Drive A:. Type A:PIP and press <RETURN>. This load~
the PIP program. The screen displays:
Type B:=C:TEST.TXT and press <RETURN>. The screen displays:
Type <CNTL>C to exit the
PIP program and return to the main
CP/M program. You have now copied the TEST.TXT file from the
Corvus hard disk to a floppy diskette.
