I posted the question regarding writing
the disk directory to a disk file, but
neglected to mention the system involved.
Computer is an Atari 130XE with 1050
drive. I would like to read the DIR
from D1: and write it on D8:. I have
a nice CP/M program to do this on
another machine, but don't know how
on the Atari. Any ideas? Thanks!

To Write the DIR of one disk to a
file on the other is realy a matter
of what DOS you are using. Assuming you
are using DOS 2.0s or 2.5, do the
following.
Go to DOS.
Type <A> for a directory.
When asked for the drive # and destina
tion. Type: Dx:,Dx:filename.ext
The Directory should now be on your
disk as a text file under the name you
gave it.
If using Sparta-DOS type:
PRINT at the D: prompt.
OOoops! scratch that.
Type: PRINT Dx:filename.ext
Now everything that gos to your screen
will be printed to the file as well.
Next Do a DIR of what ever Drive you
want the same as you always do.
When you are done, Type PRINT to turn
off this redirection.
