5. DISK UTILITIES

Novaterm provides a menu of options to perform common disk
operations. This section covers the options listed on the Disk
Operations menu

Note: All disk operations use the "current" disk device. The current
device is displayed at the top of the menu. The current device number
may be changed using the "Disk command" option (see below).

5.1 Disk command

You may send a disk command to the current device by selecting
Disk command. In addition to the normal DOS commands,
Novaterm supports a few others:

Directory: The disk directory may be called up by entering a $
symbol. Pattern matches are also allowed. For example, to get a
directory of files whose names start with prt, you would type:
$:prt.*

Read error channel: Type @ by itself to read the drive's error channel.

Select device: The # symbol selects a different disk drive. For
example, to switch to device 9, drive 0, enter #9,0

5.2 Disk directory

This option lists the directory of the disk. Pressing the P key pauses
the listing; pressing the S key stops it.

5.3 Textfile (SEQ file) options

Textfiles on the C64 are labeled as seq files in a disk directory. In
the following discussion, "texfiles" and "seq files" have the same
meaning.

5.3.1 View textfile

This option lists a textfile on the screen.

5.3.2 View textfile in 80 columns

5.3.3 Print textfile

This option prints a hard copy of the file.
