"the file access function of REX to transfer files between ram images" I must have missed this one in the manual. Are you saying that REX can copy individual files between banks? Fascinating. Kurt On Tue, Feb 19, 2019, at 1:05 PM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > I think how I would solve this problem >

Interesting question, are there any uniquely DVI DOS applications? Or were they simply unique commercial packages e.g payroll, stock control etc, that were never released widely? The TPDD drive seems to be more useful with its portability and plays to the strength of the Model T in its day.

hit send too fast Maybe rexmgr just needs to be added to the list of things you have to temporarily pack away like floppy or ts-dos, while dvidos is installed. Maybe one of those old utils could be hacked a little to do that. Another idea, I have not tried, but it seems that the ts-dos ram

There are programs in the old m100sig archive that describe themselves as being written to deal with exactly that need, that dvidos and floppy or other tpdd can't coexist at the same time, so they wrote utilities to switch between them without wiping and installing. On Tue, Feb 19, 2019, 11:04 AM
