Subject: Re: TWIX utility for 'Sprinter ZX' mode

TWIX utility was created as example of usage of Extended TR-DOS commands of 'Sprinter ZX' mode.
By this way, you can create real batch file. This utility serves for quick creation of two TR-DOS RAM-disks.

Usage.

Execute TWIX.TRD and answer "Y" to program question.

Utility will create two RAM-disks ("G" and "H" RAM-disks on TR-DOS "C" and TR-DOS "D" drives), set a floppy disk drive to TR-DOS "A" drive and select TR-DOS "C" drive as current drive.
Finally, utility executes Spectrum file manager, which was included in the TWIX.TRD file too.

So, you will have two RAM-disks, working file manager and possibility to use real TR-DOS disks with 'A' drive.

Package of TWIX.TRD file :

boot.B - TWIX utility
fcom.B - F Commander v4.01m (c) Vadim Eremeev, 1993
