Detailed instructions for 'fixing' a container file so DIRSEQ will work.

IN the CYGWIN shell

1.    obtain the empty containr

    tar -xzf empty.tgz

2.    name the empty container so the emulator can see it

    mv empty-container dsk1-container

3.    start am100

    ./am100

IN AMOS

4.    mount the dsk1 container

    .mount dsk1:

5.    switch to operator account [1,2]

    .log 1,2

6.    initialize the container using sysact

    .sysact dsk1:
        i
        y
        20
        e

7.    copy all the files on dsk0 to dsk1

    .copy dsk1:=dsk0:[]

8.    quit AMOS with alt-C

IN the CYGWIN shell

9.    rename the old dsk0 container to ?? and name the new one dsk0

    mv dsk0-container dsk0-old
    mv dsk1-container dsk0-container

10.    start AMOS again

Now you can go back to AMOS to check out the results...

11.    run dirseq and see what happens!

    .dirseq
