Restoring the Files

If the INMEMO: ersatz account has been created, then log to that account:

.LOG INMEMO or .LOG DSKx:[p,pn]

where DSKx:[p,pn] is the account you plan to use. (Note that the ersatz definition does not become active until you reboot the system.)

Then restore all of the files into that account. For example, using a tape, the command would be:

.MTURES/T = ALL:[]

If the INMEMO: account (or DSKx:[p,pn] does not exist, then you can log to the OPR: account and create it while you restore the tape:

.LOG OPR:

.MTURES/T DSKx:[p,pn] = ALL:[]

where again, DSKx:[p,pn] should be replaced by the account you wish to use.

Restoring from a PC: If you are restoring the files to AMOS from a PC (having received the software via email, web download, or DOS diskette) you must use a binary-type transfer method (pcVision, ZTERM, AlphaLAN, ZMODEM, AutoLog, etc.) to get the files over to AMOS. However, note that all of the files with extensions ?MO, DAT, and MNU are meant to be contiguous files. Since this concept doesn't exist on the PC, you must use the appropriate file transfer switches available with your PC-to-Alpha transfer package to cause prevent these files from being converted to sequential files. If this is not possible, don't despair: all of the contiguous files are just samples used in some of the sample programs, and are not needed for normal operation.
