Disk File Operation
Edit Existing Data File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.PCX” from the current directory.
The user may select, from the list, a previously saved data file to be recalled. Editing a file is
very similar to the On-line Setup options except it allows the user to change any drive values
without being connected to the drive. After editing, the file may be saved, renamed, or left
unchanged. Editing may only be done on data files that have previously been uploaded or
created.
Create New Data File
PCX will allow the user to create a data file. The user must select the controller model and any
optional PCM module for the file that is to be created. Once this has been done, the file may be
edited and saved under a user file name for later use.
Make A List From A Data File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.PCX” from the current directory.
The user may select a data file necessary to produce a list file. PCX will use the same file name
but will append the extension “.LST” to the newly created list file. List files are ASCII character
text files created from data files (see Using PCX Files).
Print List File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.LST” from the current directory.
The user may select a list file to be printed. In order for printing to work properly, the
PRINT.COM file must be accessible by PCX; This may be accomplished by using the DOS
PATH or COPY command. The printer must also be available and on-line.
