I read the manual, but it didn't seem to have any info on doing this (or
anything else for that matter) in an assembly program. Like in pascal
(at least the DOS version), you can tell it to do stuff like give you a
listing of the current directory, check the amount of space left on a
drive, and stuff like that. I want to find out how to do this in
assembly 86 (that's why I posted the msg to the assembly-86 list)
About the renaming files, say I drop out of asm to basic to do that.
That means I need a lot of free space to rename (enough to copy the file
first). I know there is a more efficient way because when you send a
file to the calc over the link and there's already a file with the same
name, it asks you if you want to rename the file.
Basically, to clear up what I said before, I'm looking for info on how
to rename files, manipulate data in them, find their lengths and list
all the files on a calc from an ASM program.
