.THE MS-DOS/C-64 CONNECTION..BY MIKLOS G
ARAMSZEGHY..RUN IT RIGHT: C-64; 1571 OR
1581 DISK DRIVE.. WE'RE NOW AT THE F
INAL INSTALLMENT IN THE THREE-PART SERIE
S ON EXCHANGING TEXT AND DATA FILES BETW
EEN MS-DOS AND COMMODORE COMPUTERS. PART
1, IN THE APRIL ISSUE OF RUN, PRESENTED
A PROGRAM THAT LETS A C-128 READ FROM A
ND WRITE TO MS-DOS DISKS. LAST MONTH, PA
RT 2 ADDED A PROGRAM FOR FORMATTING MS-D
OS DISKS WITH EITHER A C-128 OR C-64. TH
IS MONTH, I COMPLETE THE PICTURE WITH A
PROGRAM THAT ENABLES A C-64 TO READ AND
WRITE MS-DOS DISKS, PROVIDING A QUICK AN
D EASY WAY TO TRANSFER FILES BETWEEN MAC
HINES.. ALTHOUGH PRIMARILY INTENDED
FOR USE WITH 3 1/2-INCH, 720K MS-DOS DIS
KS IN A 1581 DRIVE, THE PROGRAM ALSO WOR
KS WITH 5 1/4-INCH MS-DOS DISKS IN A 157
1 DRIVE. NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT USE THE PR
OGRAM WITH A 1541 DRIVE, DUE TO THAT DRI
VE'S DIFFERENT METHOD OF RECORDING DATA.
. YOU CAN MOVE FILES OF UP TO ABOUT
30K (120 DISK BLOCKS) IN SIZE IN EITHER
OF TWO MODES: TRANSLATION MODE, WHICH C
ONVERTS THE FILE FROM PETSCII (COMMODORE
ASCII) TO TRUE (STANDARD) ASCII, OR BIN
ARY MODE, WHICH CREATES A STRAIGHT BYTE-
FOR-BYTE COPY. COMMODORE FILES CAN BE SE
QUENTIAL (SEQ), PROGRAM (PRG) OR USER (U
SR); RELATIVE (REL) FILES AND GEOS USER-
TYPE FILES WON'T WORK. MENUS AND SCREEN
PROMPTS MAKE THE MS-DOS/C-64 CONNECTION
EASY TO USE.. IN THIS ARTICLE AND TH
E PROGRAM, THE TERMS "SOURCE" AND "TARGE
T" REFER TO DISKS BEING COPIED FROM AND
TO, RESPECTIVELY. "MS-DOS" MEANS ANY IBM
-PC-TYPE DISK OPERATING SYSTEM, AND "COM
MODORE DOS" MEANS THE NORMAL OPERATING S
YSTEM IN COMMODORE DISK DRIVES, INCLUDIN
G THE 1571 AND 1581...THE SOURCE.. T
HE OPENING MENU ASKS FOR INFORMATION ABO
UT YOUR SOURCE DISK, STARTING WITH ITS T
YPE -- MS-DOS OR COMMODORE. ENTER 1 OR 2
ACCORDINGLY, OR 3 TO QUIT THE PROGRAM..
PRESS THE RETURN KEY AFTER MAKING Y
OUR SELECTION, THEN CHOOSE THE DEVICE NU
MBER, 1--8, OF THE SOURCE DRIVE. A NUMBE
R OUTSIDE THAT RANGE WILL BE REJECTED, A
ND YOU'LL BE RETURNED TO THE SOURCE-DISK
PROMPT.. HAVING ENTERED A PROPER D
EVICE NUMBER, INSERT THE SOURCE DISK INT
O THE SOURCE DRIVE AND PRESS RETURN TO P
ROCEED. ANY OTHER KEY WILL TAKE YOU BACK
TO THE OPENING MENU, SHOULD YOU WANT TO
CHANGE YOUR CHOICES.. ASSUMING THAT
YOU PRESS RETURN, MS-DOS/C-64 WILL READ
THE DIRECTORY OF THE SOURCE DISK. IN TH
E CASE OF AN MS-DOS DISK, IT WILL ALSO A
UTOMATICALLY DETERMINE THE DISK'S TYPE (
NUMBER OF SIDES, NUMBER OF SECTORS PER T
RACK, AND SO FORTH) AND DECODE ITS FILE
ALLOCATION TABLE (FAT), WHICH IS SIMILAR
IN FUNCTION TO THE COMMODORE BAM (BLOCK
ALLOCATION MAP). WATCH THE SCREEN TO K
EEP TRACK OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. THIS PROC
ESS MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES, MOSTLY
DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED OF THE SERIAL DAT
A TRANSFER.. ON THE SCREEN, THE DIRE
CTORY TAKES THE FORM OF A TEN-ENTRY MENU
. MS-DOS SUBDIRECTORIES ARE IDENTIFIED
BY <DIR> UNDER THE FILE-SIZE FIELD, WHIL
E 1581 PARTITIONS ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE
FILETYPE CBM.. AT THE TOP OF THE DIR
ECTORY SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE DISK'S NAM
E AND ID (COMMODORE DOS) OR VOLUME LABEL
(MS-DOS), ALONG WITH THE NUMBER OF FILE
S IN THE DIRECTORY AND THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF BYTES USED BY THESE FILES. NOTE THAT
THE FILE SIZES ARE EXPRESSED IN BYTES,
NOT IN THE BLOCKS TO WHICH COMMODORE USE
RS ARE ACCUSTOMED. AS A RESULT, THE SIZ
ES INDICATED FOR COMMODORE FILES ARE ONL
Y APPROXIMATE (BLOCK COUNT TIMES 254), W
HILE THE SIZES OF MS-DOS FILES, TAKEN RI
GHT FROM THE DIRECTORY ENTRIES, ARE EXAC
T.. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE PROG
RAM WON'T WORK WITH RELATIVE FILES OR GE
OS-TYPE USER FILES, HOWEVER, THESE FILES
WILL STILL BE LISTED IN A COMMODORE DOS
DIRECTORY.. TO SELECT A FILE TO R
EAD OR A SUBDIRECTORY TO VIEW, PRESS THE
CORRESPONDING NUMBER AND THEN THE RETUR
N KEY. TO SEE THE NEXT GROUP OF TEN ENT
RIES, PRESS EITHER N AND RETURN, OR JUST
RETURN. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE
PREVIOUS GROUP OF TEN, PRESS P AND RETUR
N. TO QUIT AND GO BACK TO THE OPENING M
ENU WITHOUT MAKING A CHOICE, PRESS Q AND
RETURN.. THE FILE YOU SELECT NEED
NOT BE IN THE GROUP CURRENTLY ON THE SC
REEN. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE MENU IS SHOWIN
G FILES 11--20, YOU CAN STILL CHOOSE NUM
BER 6, AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER THAT'S TH
E ONE SELECTED. ONLY NUMBERS IN THE RANG
E FROM 1 TO THE NUMBER OF FILES IN THE D
IRECTORY ARE VALID.. DON'T REMOVE TH
E SOURCE DISK FROM THE DRIVE UNTIL YOU'R
E PROMPTED TO INSERT ANOTHER DISK. OTHE
RWISE, YOUR FILE MAY BE COPIED INCORRECT
LY OR FILES ON THE DISK YOU INSERT MAY G
ET DAMAGED. MS-DOS/C-64 WON'T PROMPT YO
U TO INSERT A DISK BEFORE IT STARTS TO R
EAD A FILE APPEARING ON THE ON-SCREEN DI
RECTORY, BECAUSE IT WILL ASSUME THAT YOU
HAVEN'T REMOVED THE DISK CONTAINING THE
FILE.. AFTER SELECTING THE FILE TO
TRANSFER, YOU MUST SPECIFY EITHER BINARY
OR TRANSLATION MODE. AS I MENTIONED, B
INARY CREATES A NEW FILE THAT'S IDENTICA
L TO THE ORIGINAL. IN TRANSLATION MODE,
THE CONVERSION BETWEEN PETSCII AND ASCI
I OCCURS WHILE THE FILE IS BEING READ IN
TO MEMORY...THE TARGET.. ONCE THE FI
LE HAS BEEN READ INTO THE MEMORY BUFFER,
IT'S TIME TO SPECIFY THE TARGET DISK CH
ARACTERISTICS. AT THE PROMPT FOR FILETY
PE, PRESS 1 FOR MS-DOS, 2 FOR COMMODORE
DOS OR 3 TO RETURN TO THE DIRECTORY MENU
.. ASSUMING YOU WANT TO PROCEED WITH
THE TRANSFER, NEXT SELECT THE TARGET DR
IVE. THIS CAN BE THE SAME AS THE SOURCE
DRIVE OR DIFFERENT.. NOW ENTER A FIL
ENAME FOR YOUR TARGET FILE. FOR AN MS-DO
S FILE, IT MUST TAKE THE FORM FILENAME.T
YP, WHERE THE MAIN NAME, CONTAINING UP T
O EIGHT CHARACTERS, IS FOLLOWED BY A PER
IOD AND THEN A 0--3-CHARACTER FILENAME E
XTENSION OR TYPE. COMMODORE FILENAMES CA
N HAVE UP TO 16 CHARACTERS.. WHEN WR
ITING TO A COMMODORE DISK, YOU MUST ALSO
CHOOSE THE BINARY OR TRANSLATION TRANSF
ER MODE AND THE FILE TYPE -- SEQ, PRG OR
USR. MOST TEXT-FILE TRANSFERS USE SEQUE
NTIAL FILES.. NOW INSERT THE TARGET
DISK IN THE DRIVE AND PRESS RETURN TO WR
ITE THE FILE TO IT.. WITH AN MS-DOS
TARGET, BECAUSE A REAL MS-DOS OPERATING
SYSTEM IS NOT PRESENT, THE PROGRAM MUST
PERFORM SEVERAL HOUSEKEEPING TASKS DURIN
G THE WRITE OPERATION. THESE INCLUDE REA
DING THE MS-DOS DIRECTORY AND DECODING T
HE FAT, WRITING THE FILE, AND UPDATING T
HE DIRECTORY AND FAT ON THE TARGET DISK.
WITH A COMMODORE TARGET, ALL THIS IS D
ONE BY THE COMMODORE OPERATING SYSTEM AU
TOMATICALLY.. AFTER IT HAS WRITTEN T
HE FILE, THE PROGRAM REREADS THE SOURCE
DIRECTORY AND REDISPLAYS THE DIRECTORY M
ENU. IF YOUR SOURCE AND TARGET DISKS WE
RE IN THE SAME DRIVE, YOU'LL BE PROMPTED
TO REINSERT THE SOURCE DISK BEFORE THE
DIRECTORY READ...SUBDIRECTORIES.. MS
-DOS/C-64 LETS YOU TRANSFER FILES FROM A
NY MS-DOS SUBDIRECTORY OR 1581 DIRECTORY
PARTITION. WHEN YOU SELECT AN MS-DOS E
NTRY MARKED <DIR> OR A COMMODORE 1581 CB
M FILE FROM THE DIRECTORY MENU, THE NEW
DIRECTORY IS READ AND DISPLAYED ON THE S
CREEN. YOU CAN GET BACK TO THE PREVIOUS
DIRECTORY LEVEL IN MS-DOS BY SELECTING T
HE FIRST ENTRY IN THE NEW DIRECTORY. THA
T ENTRY SHOULD BE <PARENT> <DIR>. WITH
A 1581, YOU CAN'T GO BACK THROUGH A DIRE
CTORY CHAIN; YOU MUST RETURN TO THE ROOT
DIRECTORY, THEN FOLLOW THE CHAIN FORWAR
D AGAIN. ALL FILES THAT YOU WRITE, TO E
ITHER AN MS-DOS OR COMMODORE DISK, WILL
APPEAR IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY ONLY; SUBDI
RECTORIES ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN FILE WRIT
ES.. THE PROGRAM RECOVERS UNUSED AND
SCRATCHED DIRECTORY AND DATA SPACE ON M
S-DOS DISKS, BUT THE COMMODORE DOS DOES
THIS JOB AUTOMATICALLY WHEN WRITING TO S
EQUENTIAL OR PROGRAM FILES...OTHER TYPES
OF TRANSFERS.. WHILE MS-DOS/C-64 IS
DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSFERRING FIL
ES BETWEEN MS-DOS MACHINES AND THE C-64,
IT CAN BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES. ONE
IS TRANSFERRING NORMAL COMMODORE SEQ, PR
G AND USR FILES BETWEEN A 1581 AND A 157
1, 1541, C-64-COMPATIBLE HARD DRIVE OR E
VEN AN IEEE-BUS TYPE DRIVE.. IN ADD
ITION TO DOING TRANSFERS, THE PROGRAM IS
HANDY FOR CONVERTING TEXT FILES BETWEEN
TRUE ASCII AND PETSCII USING ANY COMMOD
ORE-COMPATIBLE DRIVE. FOR ASCII TO PETSC
II, READ THE FILE IN BINARY MODE, THEN W
RITE IT IN TRANSLATION MODE. FOR PETSCII
TO ASCII, READ THE FILE IN TRANSLATION
MODE, THEN WRITE IT IN BINARY MODE......
