[Techtoolslist] Verified copy of 6.1 now up on TTL

[Martin White]

Seriously not trying to be clever here but there's certainly a way to get a directory listing of the hard drive, and im so-so thinking it would apply to floppies as well.

Only reason I know is that I did it when I was messing about with my drive conversion back in 2008, sent the output to a file, transferred that file over serial to my PC, loaded it up in an editor and had a flick through.

Sadly, I can't be more specific than that. My memory isn't great and I can't remember details of what I did 6 months ago, let alone coming up for 5 years.

I also can't rule out it bring a program someone may have written on my unit. My unit is in my workshop any I've only just finished my day job so my brain is frazzled.

Maybe in a bit I'll at least see if I have still got the output file. If it was a script on my unit, it'll be listed in the output.

Martin.

Andre...

It's not an easy answer.

If you know the name of a UUT on the floppy, then 'edit | /dr1/UUTname' 
this will put you in the UUT directory on the floppy to see if there is 
any partslib/proglib/nodelist or programs to browse. I don't know how to 
get a UUT list of the contents of a floppy.

If you want to know whats on a disk you can just copy it to the hard 
disk and see what UUT's pop up. The fluke directory structure is fixed 
in the editor system, there is not a directory list function like in 
other OS's, programs are confined to existing inside UUT 'folders'. 
associated libraries or programs are inside each UUT 'folder' too.
