[Coco] ToolShed Use.

[Robert Gault]

Decb.exe has built in help. Ex. for what you are asking:decb copy -h The above will give you the format for the Copy command. 
Now to copy a file from a Coco to a PC using Drivewire, you don't use a Toolshed command. You just use a Basic command or a NitrOS9 command. 
Since your .bas file is already on your PC, decb copy should work if you use the format given by Help. If you have a Windows system, you could try using wimgtool.exe.What if any errors are you seeing? Can you access any other files on the .dsk? If this is the first file to be placed on the .dsk, is the disk formatted correctly?

Hi I have often used the os9 program in toolshed but never
used the decb program before.

I had the idea that decb copy -a -0 X.BAS X.dsk

Would put the  basic program X.BAS written on a PC on the
drivewire X.dsk

It did not work what is the proper syntax ?
