[net.micro.cbm] Documentation for C-64 disk drive

moose@ames.UUCP (Mary Kaiser) (03/05/86)

Help!  A friend lent my husband a disk drive for his Commodore 64, but the
documentation got lost in the move.  At present, all we can figure out is
how to save files (fortunately, the friend remembered how to format disks).

Does anyone know where I could get new documentation, or know the commands
for the following:

Deleting a file
Listing the files on a disk

Sorry to ask such trivial questions, but the commands aren't intuitive to
us.  Thanks very much for the help.

To delete a file (in direct mode):

	OPEN15,8,15:PRINT#15,"S0:FILENAME":CLOSE15,8,15 <RETURN>
	(That's a zero in here ^ , not an 'o')

To list files on disk:

	LOAD"$",8 <RETURN>
	LIST <RETURN>
