Need help on GUI Drive Access

[Bob Collins_3]

Is there a way to use the GUI interface to move data to the Floppy drive? I am
new to the CDE interface on 10.20 and have not found one yet.


Regards,

There is no default CDE action to copy files to a floppy disk, but it would be
quite simple to write an action to handle this.

The command to use for the "Create Action" utility (dtcreate) would be:

/usr/bin/doscp $* /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0:

(replace the floppy device if yours is different).

The resulting action definition would look like:


ACTION Copy_To_Floppy
{
LABEL Copy To Floppy
TYPE COMMAND
EXEC_STRING doscp %Args% /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0:
ICON Dtmagtp
WINDOW_TYPE PERM_TERMINAL
DESCRIPTION Copy Files to a floppy disk
}


And you will have an icon in $HOME that you can drag files to. You can drag
this icon to the desktop, or even drop it in a sub-panel of the CDE
front-panel.
