COPY
/BEFORE[:date]
Copies all files on a device created before a specified date. The following command
copies only those MAC files on DK created before February 4, 1990:
.COPY/BEFORE:4:FEB:90 *.MAC DU0:*.MAC
Files copied:
DK:A.MAC to DU0:A.MAC
DK:B.MAC to DU0:B.MAC
DK:C.MAC to DU0:C.MAC
/BINARY
Copies formatted binary files, such as OBJ files produced by the assembler or
the FORTRAN compiler, and LDA files produced by the linker. RT–11 verifies
checksums and displays a warning if a checksum error occurs. If this happens,
the COPY operation does not complete. You cannot use the /BINARY option with
/VERIFY. The following command copies a binary file from DK to DU1:
.COPY/BINARY ANALYZ.OBJ DU1:*.*
/COPY/BINARY/CONCATENATE can be used to take BINARY files and
compress them. For example, if you combined three 3-block files, your combined
file could be less than 9 blocks, since the unused space in each of those files is
moved to the end of the single combined file.
Note that you cannot copy library files with the /BINARY option because they
contain formatted binary data and unformatted binary data. Copy them in
IMAGE mode.
/BOOT[:dev]
Copies bootstrap information from monitor and handler files to blocks 0 and 2
through 5 of a random-access volume, permitting you to use that volume as a
system volume. /BOOT requires the DUP utility. The optional argument dev
specifies the name of the handler to be used on the target system device.
Note:
• You can combine /BOOT only with the /WAIT option.
• Your input and output volume must be the same.
• You can name your monitor file any name you wish; the default file type is
SYS.
When you perform this operation, you must have the correct device handler to
go with the volume. For example, to create a bootable DU01 disk, you must have
the handler file DU.SYS or DUX.SYS on that DU01.
To create a bootable volume, do the following:
1. Initialize the volume, using the INITIALIZE command. (Note that if the
volume is an RK06/07 or an RL01/02, you should also use the /REPLACE
option.)
