OS/2
When using the Adapt product, PC to PC directly connected, in the Logical Unit
menu, you will need to set the ACTION parameter of one of the PCs to ACCEPT
and the other to INITIATE.
OS/2
Naming Conventions
OS/2 supports the High Performance Disk System (HPFS). This section will
address that format. See PC-DOS, earlier in this chapter for information on the
FAT file format naming conventions.
d:[directory name]\..\filename

Indicates
d:
The drive letter specification (A...Z plus some special
characters). The drive letter usually identifies a
particular device. The C drive is the most common
local hard drive, the A drive is the most common
floppy, and the F drive is the most common network
drive. PCs support a facility in which a section of
memory (RAM) can also be used as a virtual disk
drive. Note that in high-speed link environments, the
performance of CA-XCOM is directly related to the
speed of the disk drive. In most environments, the
fastest to the slowest devices are as follows:
■
■
■
■
RAM disks
Directly connected hard disks
Network disks
Floppy disks (never support the HPFS system)
If you do not specify a drive, the default (current) drive
will be used.
[directory name]
One or more optional directories which allows you to
assign organization to the drive. Directory names are
from 1 to 254 characters long with an optional extension
(like a file). If you do not specify a directory, the default
(current) directory will be used. If you specify a
destination filename in a directory that does not exist,
CA-XCOM for OS/2 will create the directory for you.
See the target system's configuration to determine if this
option has been set.
