The Operating
System Name An operating system name may be up to 10 characters in
length and may contain any printing character except the
semicolon (;). NOTE: Z-DOS requires that you use "Z-DOS"
(as it is spelled here) as the operating system name for those
partition(s) that you plan to use with Z-DOS. At the present
time, you may use any name you choose for the CP/M operat-
ing system, or you may optionally choose to use no name.
Operating system names are not mandatory except in the
case of Z-DOS. However, if you use the same partition name
for more than one partition, each partition must then have
a different operating system name. The following are typical
examples of operating system names:
CPM
Z-DOS
USER-DOS
OTHER-DOS
At this time, you may choose to change the operating system
name or leave it alone.
To change the operating system name, type the new name.
If you use lower case letters, they will be converted to upper
case. While entering the new name, you will see several things
happen.
• Th e o ld operating system name will be erased when you
press the first letter of the new name.
• Th e ~g g g ~~ key w ill operate normally, moving one
character to the left and erasing the character under the
c ursor. When you use the ~ K I ~
+ key to erase
the first letter of the new operating system name that you
have typed, the letter will be removed and the old operating
system name will reappear.
• If you press only the g~g g ] k e y, the operating system
name will remain unchanged while the cursor moves to
the percentage column.
