[comp.sys.apple] Moving ProDos files from one directory to another

douglas@reed.UUCP (P Douglas Reeder) (01/13/88)

     How does one transfer ProDOS files from one directory to
another directory on the same disk?
     Also, what is the recommended method for reading an entire text
file when you don't know its length?  I wrote a machine language 
(so it can read commas)
routine to read a text file into a text array. It exits by ProDOS's
OUT OF DATA error to the Applesoft statement specified by ONERR GOTO.
Is there a better way? (Perhaps by reading the directory file and
parsing out the ENDFILE coulumn?)

If you don't need to do it within a program, the Filer utility can do
this.
