FLX -- FILE TRANSFER PROGRAM FLX provides a means of transfering files between various PDP-11 operating systems. The primary media format is DOS. To run FLX, RUN DK1:$FLX The command line is outfile/switch=infile/switch. By default it is assumed that input files are DOS format and output files are RSX format. To change the format use a format switch to specify the file type. /DO DOS format /RS RSX format /RT RT11 format Further HELP keywords are TRANSFER-MODE SWITCHES 2 TRANSFER-MODE FLX can transfer data in Formatted ASCII, Formatted Binary, and Image Mode. Playing with these switches can cause many problems. Read the manual(page 3-5 of the Utilities manual), or assume that the default setings are used. To use these switches one must know how a file from another system was put on by FLX. /FA:n Formatted ASCII. /FB:n Formatted Binary. /IM:n Image mode. 2 SWITCHES /BL:n Indicates the number of contiguous blocks to allocate on an output file(must be used with the /CO switch). /BS:n Specifies block size on casset tape output. /CO The output file is to be contiguous. /DE Delete files on DOS-11 DECtape or disk. /DI provide a directory listing /FC Set Fortran carriage control conventions. /ID Display's FLX's version number. /LI Same as /DI /NU:n Used with /ZE and /RT switches to specify number of directory blocks to allocate on an RT format disk. /SP Spool the output file. /UI The output file is to have the same UIC as the input file. /VE Verify records written to cassets. /ZE Initialize RT, or DOS volumes.
