!MultiFS/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                        MultiFS - DOS filer viewer V1.41a
                        =================================


Configuring MultiFS
===================

If you have a hard disc with DOS partitions and your hard disc partition
file(s) is(are) not adfs::4.$.PC.Drive_C (_D, etc) then you
will need to alter the !Run file within !MultiFS. 

To edit the !Run file:

1       Hold down the Shift key while double clicking over the !MultiFS
        application. This displays the files contained inside the
        application.

2       Start the standard RISC OS application !Edit.

3       Drag the !Run file onto the Edit icon on the icon bar.

4       Find the following lines:

*If "<PCe$Drive_C" = "" THEN *Set PCe$Drive_C ADFS::4.$.PC.Drive_C
*If "<PCe$Drive_D" = "" THEN *Set PCe$Drive_D ADFS::4.$.PC.Drive_D
*If "<PCe$Drive_E" = "" THEN *Set PCe$Drive_E ADFS::4.$.PC.Drive_E
*If "<PCe$Drive_F" = "" THEN *Set PCe$Drive_F ADFS::4.$.PC.Drive_F

5       Edit the text ADFS::4.$.PC.Drive_C to the correct path name for the
        file you have configured for DOS drive C. 

6       If you are emulating additional DOS drives then subsequent lines
        will also need to be modified.

7       If MultiFS has been run then the PCe$Drive_X variables will have
        been set. Therefore before rerunning MultiFS enter the '*' command:

          Unset PCe$Drive_*

        or reboot your machine.

The drives specified by <PCe$Drive_D>, <PCe$Drive_E>, and <PCe$Drive_F> will
not be accessed if previous drives do not exist (ie C, D, or E).

The !Run file also contains a series of DOSMAP commands. These map RISC OS
file types to DOS extension types.



Starting MultiFS
================

Double click on the !MultiFS icon. The DOS disc drive icons appear on the
icon bar. You won't see the hard drive icon unless you have configured a DOS
hard disc drive partition using the PC Emulator.



Viewing the DOS filing system
=============================

Click on the disc icons to open the directory window for that disc. 

The window menu options available for DOS files and directories are exactly
the same as those for RISC OS files and directories. Files can be copied and
moved between RISC OS and DOS directories in the normal way. However you
cannot start an application by double clicking on its icon.



Icon bar menu options
=====================

From the MultiFS icon bar menu you can select:

Info: This gives information about MultiFS, including the version number

Name translation: ADFS file names are limited to 10 characters without an
  extension, and DOS names are limited to 8 characters with a 3 letter
  extension. When copying from ADFS to DOS names are truncated to 8
  characters. The RISC OS filetype of an object is preserved (this works
  with MS-DOS 3.21 and 3.30, and DR DOS 5.0).

  There are three ways in which MultiFS can map DOS names to ADFS:

    Truncated: The DOS file separator is replaced with a '/', and if the
      name, including the separator, is more than 10 characters it will be
      truncated. eg README.DOC is translated to README/DOC, whilst
      AUTOEXEC.BAT is thus translated to AUTOEXEC/B

    Full: As above, but without truncation. However RISC OS will generate an
      error if an attempt is made to copy a file with a long file name from
      DOS to RISC OS.

      The error 'not a heap block' is generated if you menu over a long file
      name (more than 10 characters).

    Hierarchical: This converts the DOS extension into a pseudo directory.
      AUTOEXEC.BAT will thus appear as AUTOEXEC in the directory BAT/

  If you are performing DOS to DOS file transfers then use Full or
  Hierarchical name translation. If you are transferring files from DOS to
  RISC OS then use Truncated or Hierarchical name translation. 

Name disc: Lets you give your disc any name up to 10 letters long. Disc
  names (or volumes) cannot be created which contain spaces (even though
  some versions of DOS allow this). MultiFS will ignore any text after the
  first space it finds. A name must be longer than one character.

Dismount: Lets you close all displayed directories

Format: lets you format floppy discs in various formats:

  MS-DOS 720K
  MS-DOS 720K system
  MS-DOS 360K
  MS-DOS 360K system

  DOS discs formatted using MultiFS automatically have a volume label. This
  is of the form "HHMMYYMODD" where:

  HH = 00 .. 23 (hours)
  MM = 00 .. 59 (minutes)
  YY = 00 .. 99 (year in current century)
  MO = 01 .. 12 (month)
  DD = 01 .. 31 (day)

  This provides a unique disc identity for every formatted floppy disc that
  is similar to that used by the ADFS filer.

Copy system: This is used to make a bootable DOS floppy disc. It takes a
  copy of the boot block, copyrighted system files, and any user files from
  a DOS system disc placed in the floppy drive. These files are kept within
  the MultiFS application as BootBlock and System. The boot block is
  written onto a disc when it is formatted normally, whilst both the boot
  block, system files, and user files are written back when a disc is
  formatted with the system option.

Verify: Will verify that a floppy disc does not contain media faults.

Free: Returns the free space on the disc.

Quit: Removes the MultiFS icon(s) from the icon bar.



Translating file attributes between DOS and RISC OS
===================================================

Since there is not a complete mapping between RISC OS file attributes and
those provided by DOS, attributes are set as follows:

  From RISC OS to DOS:

    The RISC OS Locked, Public read, and Public write bits are ignored

    The DOS Archive bit will be set

    If the RISC OS Write bit is not set then the DOS Read only bit will be
    set

  From DOS to RISC OS:

    The Archive bit is ignored

    The RISC OS Public read, and Public write bits are unset

    If the DOS Read only bit is set then the RISC OS Write bit will be unset
    and the Locked bit set



MultiFS command line interface
==============================

The following commands are available from the command line: Entries marked
(*) also appear on the Filer menu.

DeskTop_MultiFSFiler    Starts the MultiFS RISC OS DeskTop filer

MultiFS         Selects MultiFS as the current filing system
DOSMap          Provides MS-DOS .ext to RISC OS filetype mapping
Format          Format a DOS disc (*)
Free            Displays free and used byte counts (*)
NameDisc        Set the DOS volume directory entry (*)
NameDisk        Set the DOS volume directory entry
Dismount        Forget this disc (close all Filer windows) (*)
Verify          Verify a formatted DOS disc (*)
Map             Provide FAT information about the floppy
