2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)
Where am I??
You probably know you can make multiple saves to tape simply by enclosing the CSAVE command in a loop. And, it’s a good idea to do this because there is no way to verify a tape write and if there is a tape problem, your copy can be lost.
Sometimes, though, those saves are long and you just sit there wondering "where am I?"
Here's a way to figure it out: Just put a counter in your direct command. Then, you'll know what CSAVE you are on. The direct command line looks like this: FOR X=1 TO 3:PRINT "ON SAVE"X:CSAVE "filename":NEXT X
If you want to save more or less than three programs, change the three in the X-loop. If you want to put space between the individual saves, add the following after the last colon above
- MOTOR ON:FOR Y=1 TO 750:NEXT Y:MOTOR OFF:
