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 - -- | Ray E.

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. Les Mikesell ...ihnp4!chinet!les

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! -Lenny -- US MAIL : Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSS PO Box 1 I C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SS PHONE : (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C U U S TELEX : 154232428 [ICUS] IIIII CCC UUU SSS AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny UUCP : ...{mtune, ihnp4, boulder, talcott, sbcs, bc-cis}!icus!lenny

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).
