 
		FLX -- FILE TRANSFER PROGRAM
 
     FLX provides a means of transfering files between various PDP-11
 operating systems.  The primary media format is DOS.
 
     To run FLX,   FLX outfile/switches=inpfile/switches
	     or    FLX
 
     The command line is
		outfile/switch=infile/switch.
     By default it is assumed that input files are DOS format and output
 files are RSX format. To change the format use a format switch to specify
 the file type.
 
	/DO     DOS format
	/RS     RSX format
	/RT     RT11 format
 
     Further HELP keywords are  TRANSFER-MODE
				SWITCHES
 
2       TRANSFER-MODE
 
	FLX can transfer data in Formatted ASCII, Formatted Binary, and Image
 Mode. Playing with these switches can cause many problems. Read the manual
 (pages 5-4 to 5-5 of the Utilities manual), or assume that the default set-
 ings are used.  To use these switches one must know how a file from another
 system was put on by FLX.
 
	/FA:n   Formatted ASCII.
	/FB:n   Formatted Binary.
	/IM:n   Image mode.
 
 where   n   is the record length and can be used to create files of fixed
 record length.
2       SWITCHES
 
 /BL:n          Indicates the number of contiguous blocks to allocate
		on an output file (must be used with the /CO switch).
 /BS:n          Specifies block size on cassette tape output.
 /CO            The output file is to be contiguous.
 /DE            Delete files on DOS-11/RT-11 DECtape or disk.
 /DI            Provide a directory listing of DOS-11 or RT-11 directories.
 /DNS:n         Specifies tape density (800 or 1600).
 /DO            Identifies the volume as DOS-11.
 /FA:n          Formatted ASCII transfer mode (n=record size).
 /FB:n          Formatted Binary transfer mode (n=record size).
 /FC            Set Fortran carriage control conventions.
 /ID            Displays FLX's version number.
 /IM:n          Image transfer mode (n=record size).
 /LI            Same as /DI
 /NU:n          Used with /ZE and /RT switches to specify number of
		directory blocks to allocate on an RT format disk.
 /RS            Identifies the volume as FILES-11.
 /RT            Identifies the volume as RT-11.
 /RW            Rewind magtape before performing any operation.
 /SP            Spool the output file.
 /UI            The output file is to have the same UIC as the input file.
 /VE            Verify records written to cassettes.
 /ZE		Initialize RT, or DOS vlumes.
 
 To handle large magtape blocks, FLX can be run with a larger task increment
 than the default. For example,    RUN $FLX/INC=20000   .
