Subject: Re: How to *SPOOL result of *INFO?

I found the same thing on the Master, a very curious problem!  I've
tried everything from doing a *OPT 1,3 and then *ACCESS *.* to
give a listing, to *COMPACT, to embedding the *INFO command in
an Inter-Word document and then spooling it from the main menu!

Every time, it's a file with the two spool commands at either end
and about 6 lines of spaces in between!

The only thing that "works" although it's very unsatisfactory is
to do:

MODE 7
*INFO *.*
*SAVE files 7C00+400

This will take a copy of the screen which you can then *TYPE
as Mode 7 is a non-graphics mode, but if you have more than
24 files on the disc, it's no use!

Best wishes,



Ian

I get the usual *INFO output on screen, but none of it makes it
onto the disc. I'm using a Master; DFS lists as DFS 79.
