Saving Your Configuration

The program operates upon the FRAMOS.CFG file in your current directory.

The Read and Write commands allow you to save some of the information entered to a file. By reading

the file, you can then quickly restore your system to an operating state in the event the data is lost. The
information stored is that information not found in your FRAMOS.CFG file. This includes Sinclair
information such as Merchant ID, Store Number, etc. The phone numbers are not included.

To save your current setup, enter SINCLAIR -W filename.
You should copy this file and your FRAMOS.CFG file to a disk for safe-keeping. Should your system

ever lose its configuration, copy the FRAMOS.CFG and the network information file to your boot disk and
reboot. RUN SINCLAIR -R and enter the network information file name. After committing the information
to the Site’s memory and reentering the phone numbers you should again be ready to authorize cards with
