Qltools: examples of use

NOTE: In my Linux box (freddy) the 3"1/2 720K floppy drive is /dev/fd0H720

- Listing a ql floppy directory

qltools /dev/fd0H720 -d

- Read the 5th file in the directory to console

qltools /dev/fd0H720 -n5

- Read the file named "abcd_c" to console

qltools /dev/fd0H720 abcd_c

- Read a file with pause (under unix only)

qltools /dev/fd0H720 my_file_txt | more

- Copy a file named "test_doc" to a unix file

qltools /dev/fd0H720 test_doc > test_doc

- Read a disk map

qltools /dev/fd0H720 -m

- List disk info

qltools /dev/fd0H720 -i

- Read some files under UNIX (a trick with the UNIX shell)

for i in file1 file2 file3 file4 file5
do
	qltools /dev/fd0H720 $i > $i
done

- Making a disk image under UNIX and use it as a QL floppy image

dd if=/dev/fd0H720 of=image

qltools image -d

- Using a UNIX shell variable for the floppy name

flp1=/dev/fd0H720

qltools $flp1 -d
