The MSDOSXFR Program
13.5 SAMPLE DESTINATION NAMES
The name of the file which will be created in MS-DOS must include the address of the target device. The
format for this name is:
(device>: [<path>]<filename>[.<extension>]
The optional <path> allows you to specify a subdirectory path to the file. For example, a path and
filename of "A\B\C.PRN" specifies file C.PRN in subdirectory B within subdirectory A.*
The optional <extension>, if not specified, will be blank.
Examples:
HFA1 14M: MYFILE. PRR Indicates M%'FF ILLE . FIM on the HP 9114A Disc Drive.
2 0ATH. FEH Indicates [IHTH. FEM on a target device at loop address 3
(third device on the loop).
Alves junk. prn Indicates JHE. FEF on the first device on the loop with an
accessory ID of 17 (usually, this will be a host computer running
HPLINK).
ardirsnewdat a. prn Indicates HEWOATH. FEM in directory L'IF on a target device
at loop address $.
If the target device supports multiple units, the program will prompt for the unit number.
NOTE
If you are using the HP 82402A Dual HP-IL Adapter, the target device
must be on loop 1.
13.6 RUNNING MSDOSXFR
The M%[I0ISFFE program consists of two parts: the BASIC program M=[0%<FF and the LEXfile
FATLE. Both files must be present in the HP-71 for the program to run. In addition, the HP-71 must
have the HP-IL module and the HP-71 Data Acquisition Pac installed.
Once M==FF and FHTLE® have been copied into the HP-71, be sure that the loop is set up for the
desired data transfer. If the target device is a disc drive, it should be in the loop and should contain an
*The MS-DOS path separation character, "\", is not a standard key on the HP-71. If you wish to use
<path>, you should redefine a rarely-used key to "\", and enter USER mode. For example, executing
DEF EEY "X" CHEFC322: will redefine the "}" key to "\" whenever the HP-71 is in USER
mode.
