Using EW
Using the LI-6400 11-13
■ ■ ■ ■
To install EW on your hard disk
1 Make a subdirectory for it
For example, you may want to make a directory called LI6400. Navigate to
the parent directory (or root, as is the case in this example), and at the DOS
prompt type the make directory command:
C:>md \LI6400
Then, change to that directory
C:>cd \LI6400
2 Copy EW.EXE to that directory
Insert the 6400-50 System Software diskette into the floppy drive (weÕll as-
sume itÕs A:), and type:
C:\LI6400>copy a:\ew.exe
EW will now be located in the directory LI6400.
Examples
The EW program is run by typing
ew <
dos
> <
lpl
> [
switches
]
at a DOS prompt. <dos> is the starting DOS directory to be involved in the
transfer, and <lpl> is the starting LI-6400 directory to be involved. The op-
tional switches are described below. Both <dos> and <lpl> must exist when
EW is run; but any subdirectories in either directory will be created if neces-
sary.
Note that if the LPL directory contains any spaces in the name, you must en-
close the entire directory name in quotes. For example,
ew c:\mydata "/user/just a test"
The quickest way to learn to use EW is by example, and we present several
here. EWÕs switches are is presented later, on page 11-17.
