[comp.misc] AT&T 3B1

ray3rd@ssc-vax.UUCP (Ray E Saddler III) (03/31/88)

Hello;
	I'm hoping to help someone find a solution to the following
	scenerio:

	Steve has an AT&T 3B1 running UNIX SYSV 3.0, and has written
	some files in the DOS-73 System.  He wants to copy the files
	to the UNIX System area.

	The UNIX filesystem has a directory called /usr/bin/DOS with
	the following files in it:

	File name	Byte size
	============	============
	COMMAND.COM	23210
	DOS-73		129846
	DOS-73.sh	485
	DOSapple	69124
	DOSconfig	70980
	DOSdisk		79284
	DOSformat	3926
	DOSformat.sh	1146
	DOSinstall	72470
	DOSremove	72174
	MS-DOS		50944
	MS-DOSRM	50688
	dc73.h		2611
	dvd001		15360000

	Helpful tips and solutions copying DOS files onto the UNIX
	filesystem will be greatly appreciated.

	- Thank You -

Go through Session Configuration for the DOS-73 system and assign a drive
to "unix".  Files copied to that drive will be in the normal unix
file system.  The limitation is that you cannot execute programs from
there (at least I can't) and you can only have 3 files open at once
on that drive.

Well the DOS-73 coprocessor nicely handles the UNIX Volume.  If you
have the AT&T UNIX PC DOS Coprocessor "Alloy DOS-73(tm)" User's Guide
I point you to page 7-4.  If not here's how you would go about doing that.

First you need to go to "Session Configuration" off the DOS-73 option
from the User Agent.  Then Select 2 drives (if you have one DOS, and the
other one will be UNIX).  If you want more DOS drives, you can select
3 (ie.  add 1 to the # of DOS drives you want).  Then you get to a page
that should say:

	C:			dvd001
	D:			unix 

This says that the virtual drive "C:" will be dvd001, and the D: drive
will be the UNIX drive.  This makes it very easy to export files from
the DOS virtual drives to the UNIX filesystem.  There are special contrains
about file structure (ie. CRLF, and number of open files), but that is
detailed in the manual.

Now you can from the C: drive do:

C> D:
D> CD \Filecabinet		<- go to your Filecabinet directory
D> C:
C> COPY *.* D:

There go you!

This is a very easy thing to do.

First, from the Session Configuration menu under the DOS-73 Utilities
menue, define a drive (say, e:) with the name unix (all lowercase).

Next, start up a DOS-73 session and copy the files from where ever to
drive e:.

When you return to UNIX you will find the files in your Filecabinet
directory.  They will have ^M characters at the end of each line, but
these characters are easy to get rid of in vi (as was discussed on the
net at great length some time ago).
