A. Sample Programs (for MS-DOS)
This section covers the sample programs that are supplied on the
floppy disk included with this board.
COM-2(PC)F Diskette
CONTEC supplies a sample program diskette with each
COM-2(PC)F board. This diskette contains sample programs to
help you get started.
Use the DOS DIR command to see a list of files on the
COM-2(PC)F diskette.
A> dir
Backup Copy
Make a backup of the COM-2(PC)F diskette before use. This will
protect you if the original copy becomes damaged or destroyed.
Use the DOS DISKCOPY command.
A> diskcopy a: b:
Keep the original in a safe place and use the backup copy for the
following procedures.
Copy Files to Hard Disk
If a hard disk drive is available on your PC, then installing and
executing the sample programs from the hard disk drive will be
faster than using a floppy drive. To run sample programs from the
hard drive, create a subdirectory named COM2F on your C drive
and copy the files from A: to C: with the following commands.
A:> c:
C:> md com2f
C:> xcopy A:¥*.* c:¥com2f /s
