[Coco] How to import source code into NitrOS-9?

[Bill Pierce]

Stephen, first... run "mdir"... Look for "scdwv", "N", "N1"-"N13". You must at least have "scdwv", "N', & "N1" to run the "dw" cmd.

If your boot is created from the NitrOS9 repo disks, these files should be there already. I think I remember you mentioning CocoSDC, so I haven't a clue what was included in that boot.

If these files are not there, get a disk image from the repo (anything containing "L2", your cpu type (6809, 6309) and ending in "dw"). If you know how to make a new boot, then add these files to the boot. If not, there is a quick and dirty way:
Put the repo disk in /X0 in the DW4 server
Type: (all one line)
merge /x0/nitros9/6x09L2/modules/scf/scdwv.dr /x0/nitros9/6x09L2/modules/scf/n_scdwv.dd /x0/nitros9/6x09L2/modules/scf/n1_scdwv.dd >/dd/cmds/scdwv

Once this is done, type:
load scdwv
link scdwv
Now try the dw cmd again (on the Coco)
dw server list C:/file.xxx >/dd/file.xxx

I’ve spent some time today attempting to use the Drivewire commands…

>From the
command line in NitrOS-9, if I attempt the command:

dw server list
d:\filename.ext >/d1/filename.ext

First I get: ERROR #221 

I see that means
module not found, so I tried LOAD DW, but I still get ERROR #221 after
that.

So, I went onto my PC running the DW Server.  In the UI input line, I
type in the same command.
Here I get: ERROR 201: Could not read from
“file:///d:/filename.ext <file:///d:/filename.ext> >d1/filename.ext" because it
is not a file.

On my PC in the DW input line I can issue the command dw server
dir d:  and I get the directory of my drive D: so I know that something
works…

Anyway, is this enough information for someone to advise me on what I am
doing wrong?

Thanks very much for listening.

the file to the directory I was in when issuing the command. You can just ignore
the entire mention of the default directory.
