NOTE: These utilities are not compatible with modern Operating Systems, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. They are included as a convenience for legacy systems.
The LIF diskette utilities are used to copy program and data files between LIF diskettes and PC disks. Where necessary, the file header is converted and then the data is copied to the new file. These utilities work with single or double-sided diskettes, formatted with 256 or 1024 byte sectors.
HPCAT prints a CATalog of files on an HP LIF diskette. HPCOPY copies files between LIF diskettes and PC disks. HPPURGE deletes files on LIF diskettes. These commands are used at the DOS prompt. To use them while running HTBasic, use the EXECUTE command, i.e. EXECUTE "hpcat 0:". You may use these commands if they are in the current directory or if a PATH has been set up to the directory in which they are stored (see your DOS manuals).
