About Microcomputer Files
ETU works with several types of microcomputers, including IBM PCs (and compatibles) and Apple Maces. Throughout this guide, these computers are referred to as micros. When you perform an ETU command that works with a PC or Mac file, you will be asked to provide the micro file name. The micro file names can contain up to 80 characters, including the file path.
File Formats
Because of the various microcomputers supported by ETU, the micro file name must follow the format required by the operating system of the attached microcomputer. Descriptions of the file name formats for
PC-DOS
Format: drive:\pathname\micro_file_name.ext
Example: | C:\SUBDIR1\EXAMPLE.TXT | |||
where: |
| C: |
|
|
drive is | is | SUBDIR1 | ||
| pathname | |||
micro_file_name | is |
| EXAMPLE.TXT | |
The file name may be up to 8 characters long; an extension (.ext) is optional and may be up to 3 characters long.
Apple Mac
Format: disk:pathname:micro_file_name
Example: APPLEDRIVE:FOLDER1:WORKSHEET
where: |
|
|
disk is | APPLEDRIVE |
|
pathname is | FOLDER1 | |
micro_file_name is | WORKSHEET | |
This example applies to Mac files transferred to one destination. See Chapter 9, Advanced ETU Features, for information about transferring files to or from multiple Maces.
NOTE: If you enter an ETU command on the command line or in a CL procedure, you must place single quote marks (') around the microcomputer's path and file name. For example, 'C:\SUBDIR1\EXAMPLE.TXT’
