Hi,

COPYQ ( https://github.com/Laci1953/RC2014-CPM/tree/main/copyq )

Copy with query

Use: copyq filename.ext d:

copy files to destination disk (d:), with a query for each file
( and an extra query to allow overwriting files )
( ambiguous file references may be used, e.g. *.c or test?.asm )
( up to 512 files can be copied )

Example:

c>dir *.1
C: Y 1 : X 1
c>dir d:*.1
D: Y 1
c>copyq *.1 d:

Copy file Y.1 ? (Y/y = yes) :y
Overwrite destination file ? (Y/y = yes) :y
Copy file X.1 ? (Y/y = yes) :y
c>dir d:*.1
D: Y 1 : X 1
c>

Thank you for those utilities. "Back in the day"... we used sweep (nsweep)
A0% r sweep

NSWEEP - Version 2.08a 05/06/1985
(c) Dave Rand, 1983, 1984
Edmonton, Alberta

Sort directory alphabetically (Y/N)? y

Drive A0: 2952K in 121 files. 1376K free.

2. A0: +630 . 4K : ?
NSWEEP - Version 2.08a 05/06/1985
(c) Dave Rand, 1983, 1984
Edmonton, Alberta

A - Retag files | Q - Squeeze/Unsqueeze tagged files
B - Back one file | R - Rename file(s)
C - Copy file | S - Check remaining space
D - Delete file | T - Tag file for transfer
E - Erase T/U files | U - Untag file
F - Find file | V - View file
L - Log new disk/user | W - Wildcard tag of files
M - Mass file copy | Y - Set file status.
P - Print file | ? - Display this help
X - Exit to CP/M | cr, sp - Forward one file

2952K in 121 files. 1376K free.
Tagged files = 0K ( 0K).

2. A0: +630 . 4K :

M for mass copy, E for erase (tagged or untagged) T to tag, U to untag

Now, to achieve ERAQ we:

invoke nsweep,
W (wildcard) *.Y
(shows files tagged)
E (erase) T (tagged) Y (yes, prompt)
then, Y, N or A (abort) for each file.

Now copy (M = mass copy) did NOT have a query option -- could be added, I guess. The other program I used (and still use) is VFILER -- kind of the same as SWEEP, but visual. That one looks like:
VFILER, Version 1.7 [Z80 Code]

....again monospace - again, again, mass delete has a "verify" option, mass copy
does not. My preference is VFILER (I think it was part of ZCPR, but I just use it stand-alone -- then and now).

SWEEP works like LU; I don't have a "Visual LU" If that exists, would like to add that! Note that LU
even has a command -F which enters Filesweep mode. Again, that has Tag/Untag, and Mass operations.

Now, I took an old program called CHDIR, and renamed it to CREDIR (from TOPS-10 CREATE DIRECTORY, that being where most of CP/M command design is from.... like PIP and DIR). This is HiTech C, but is "special" in that it updates itself, in place with the database of Drive/User to Name. It also has the "system password" in it... The directory and/or password could be masked with XOR PASSWORD if you want a bit more security. Have fun with this...

Hi Fred,

I have problems when compiling your source file.

I tried compiling-it on a RC2014.

The results:

So, it seems there is a conflict between CPM.H and SYS.H (both contain a (different) prototype of getuid ...), and I cannot find any .H containing the definitions of O_RDWR and SEEK_SET.

Hi,

problem solved: I commented-out sys.h and added two defines:

//#include <sys.h>

#define O_RDWR _IORW
#define SEEK_SET 0
