Copying Files with FID

RD is a binary program which will copy DOS 3.3 files and applications from one disk to another. Apple’s original version does not recognize hard drives as an option. We’ve modified the version included on the Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 disk to recognize the Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 partitions and allow you to copy files to them.

To execute AE FlU,Either:1)Boot Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk.2)Select AE FID from the main menu.

OR

1)Run BASIC.

2)Type BRUN AEFID at the BASIC prompt ( ] ) with Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk in an on-line drive.

Once the program is running, follow the steps below to copy files to your DOS 3.3 partition(s).

*Note: The following instructions assume that you’ve already formatted the volume you’re copying to and that you are copying from your Slot 6, Drive 1 5.25”

drive to a Vulcan partition in Slot 7.You can exit from most parts of the program by pressing <esc>.

Type (followed by <return>
