Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5462 (COPYFL)
Chris: I just now glanced at this program and note the following. Error 53 (Aka: AO Error) means "Already Open." This says that you have already opened the named file. Now, knowing that the COPYFL.BA programs works with the TPDD2 I know that it requires FLOPPY be established in your computer. If you simply kill FLOPPY from within BASIC then you're SOL for running just about anything else--especially trying to reload FLOPPY. If you did delete FLOPPY from within BASIC then you must cold start your computer and reload FLOPPY from the Utility Disk (Aka: Boot Disk) that came with the TPDD2. If you have not already killed FLOPPY and would like to really clean things up, then you must use the FREMEM.BA program included on the Utility Disk. Once FLOPPY is correctly installed into your computer, COPYFL.BA should run fine. Here's a quick way to install any of the TPDD2 operating systems from their boot disk. 1) Connect the TPDD2 to your Model 100. 2) Insert the Utility Disk, or boot disk, but leave the TPDD2 turned off. 3) Turn on your Model 100, go into BASIC, and key the following: RUN"COM:98N1E 4) Hit <enter> then turn on your TPDD2 Hope this helps...
