Subject: Copying DFS->ADFS

Hi.

There's a few ways of doing it.

You can do it with the filing systems using *COPY, but I'd recommend using 
TreeCopy (supplied on the utilities disk) or copyfiles (In the Master 
Library) to copy the disks on the Beeb itself.

You can also do it on the PC to the CF image. Open the image in ADFS 
explorer, and open the .ssd (or .dsd etc) file you want to copy, create a 
new directory in ADFS explorer and just drag and drop the files across. If 
you have an ADFS floppy image, just use 2 ADFS explorer windows.

As for the other question, I'm not sure on the source of 1.32. I received it 
on an image a while back and it has a blank (C) string - I'm not sure if 
it's based on the Acorn ADFS, or another manufacturer, but it would 
certainly have to sacrifice something to allow the SWR workspace. Neither 
image initially worked with the CF card, but I found a few bugs in the code 
to do with sector addressing, and then Michael Firth further helped me with 
more bug fixes and getting the Tube working in 1.33.

If you need any support on the CF system specifically, you can always mail 
me direct at mark@...

Thanks, Mark.
