 
		FLX -- FILE TRANSFER PROGRAM
 
     FLX provides a means of transferring files between various
 PDP-11 operating systems.  The primary media format is DOS.
 
  To run FLX, type

		FLX  devicespec/sw=infile/sw,...,infile/sw.

  Note FLX never allows output file specifications.

    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 (page 5-4 of the Utilities manual), or assume that
 the default settings are used.

	/FA:n	Formatted 7-bit ASCII.
	/FB:n	Formatted Binary.
	/IM:n	Image mode.

	Some file extensions default to certain transfer-modes as follows:-

	/IM	.TSK, .OLB, .MLB, .SYS, .SML, .ULB
	/FB	.OBJ, .STB, .BIN, .LDA
	/FA	All Others

	This should be borne in mind if transferring files under non-
standard extensions (e.g. VMS task images as .EXE).
2	SWITCHES
 
 /BL:n		Indicates the number of contiguous blocks to allocate
		to 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 DECtape or disk.
 /DI		Provide a directory listing of DOS volumes.
 /DNS:n		Specify density of magnetic tape.
 /FC		Set Fortran carriage control conventions.
 /ID		Display's FLX's version number.
 /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.
 /-RW		Do not rewind magtape before transfer.  Must be on same side
		of commandline as the magtape.
 /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 volumes.
