MPETODOS
The MPETODOS command converts files from MPE to DOS format. You can
retain both copies of a file or transfer a single converted copy from
your MPE account to a shared disc.
To stop the conversion, press CTRLY. If you stop the conversion of
multiple files, you will see the following prompt:
CTRL-Y detected. Do you want to continue the conversion (Y/N)?
If you want to continue the conversion, enter Y. If you do not want to
continue the conversion, enter N, and DISCMGR reports the number of files
that were already converted.
Abbreviation: MTD
MPETODOS sourcefile TO targetfile[;options]
sourcefile An MPE file. Standard MPE conventions apply, including
the use of wildcards and back-references to file
equations.
targetfile Shared disc DOS file. Standard DOS wildcards can be
used. The file must be in one of the following formats:
drive:dosfile
(J:FILE1.TXT or J:\DIR1\DIR2\FILE1.TXT)
dosfile
(FILE1.TXT or \DIR1\DIR2\FILE1.TXT)
MPE:\account\group\dosfile
(MPE:\SYS\ADMIN\DIR1\DIR2\FILE1.TXT)
If you have SM capability, you can access a shared disc
in any account and group. If you have AM capability,
you can access a shared disc in any group in your
account.
!sharename [password]:dosfile
(!JOE PASS:\DIR1\DIR2\FILE1.TXT)
options All options can be specified in the command.
SHOW--Displays a list of files as they are converted.
MOVE--Purges sourcefile after conversion.
REPLACE--Indicates targetfile replaces or writes over
existing named target file without warning you that a
duplicate filename exists.
For example, to copy an MPE file called DATA to a DOS file on the M:
shared disc and to watch the conversion as it is being performed, enter:
MPETODOS DATA TO M:*;SHOW
To print the names of the files being converted to a printer or disc
file, you can use a DMLIST file equation (see Chapter 14, "Advanced Uses
of Disc Manager").
