This must include a leading length byte just like startup
specifications. This position in RESTORE follows the first
pair of FFs and is terminated with another pair of FFs, to
make it easy to locate. Even if this program name has been
put in the indicated place in RESTORE, it will be ignored if
there is no specification in the STARTUP position (item 4)
This makes it possible to use the startup specification in Pro-
Sel to run this version of BACKUP while still being able to
use the same copy of BACKUP (with nothing in the startup
position) for its primary purpose of backing up a hard disk.
6. Load the files you want into the RAM volume and use
BACKUP to backup the volume to the file you named in
step 4.
If you have followed this procedure correctly then the next time
you boot, the RAM volume should be loaded automatically from
the file you created. If not, then you missed some detail. Check
the names you have given for various files and make sure the
files are really where they will be looked for. This provision will
just ignore file specifications if the files are not found. There
may be no error messages.
Remember that these instructions apply to loading the /RAM
volume from a FILE on a hard disk or 800K disk. To load the
/RAM volume from floppies requires a different, and somewhat
easier, procedure which was described in the section “USING
ProSel ON A /RAM vOLUME”.
6.3
AUTOMATIC BACKUP OF A RAM VOLUME
BACKUP can also be instructed to automatically backup a RAM
volume to a file and then (optionally) run another application
such as PARK.HEADS. Thus a single selection from ProSel
can automatically backup your RAM volume, and then park the
heads of the hard disk.
To force this mode, the file name of the backup file should be
placed in the startup position. [It is best to let ProSel do this via
an application specification. That way BACKUP can be used in
