Copying Files with FID

RD is a binary program which will copy DOS 3.3 files and
applications from one disk to another. Apple’s original version
does not recognize hard drives as an option. We’ve modified the
version included on the Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 disk to recognize the
Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 partitions and allow you to copy files to
them.

To execute AE FlU,

Either:

1) Boot Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk.
2) Select AE FID from the main menu.

OR

1) Run BASIC.

2) Type BRUN AEFID at the BASIC prompt (

] )

with

Vulcan’s DOS 3.3 floppy disk in an on-line drive.

Once the program is running, follow the steps below to copy files
to your DOS 3.3 partition(s).

*

Note: The following instructions assume that you’ve
already formatted the volume you’re copying to and that
you are copying from your Slot 6, Drive 1 5.25”
drive to a Vulcan partition in Slot 7.

You can exit from most parts of the program by pressing .
