›REMOTE.OBJ››This file is to tell you how to use the Atari program called REMOTE.OBJ.›This program is found on your ramdisk image file, ATARI.ATR.››The program allows you to send commands to SIO2PC from the Atari, just as›if you were typing them on the PC's keyboard. So, if your Atari and PC ›are in different rooms (or something), you can swap ramdisks, save and ›load, etc. without leaving the Atari. The file is fairly small, and if you›plan to make use of it, you should copy it to as many ramdisk images as›necessary to assure that it's accessible when you need it.››When the program comes up, it shows a list of most of the SIO2PC commands. ›If you want to study this list, hold down the START key, or else it will›scroll off after 3 seconds. The program next gets the status's of the 4›ramdisks from the PC and puts them on the screen. Now you are ready to›enter your command. Say you want to load a disk image from A:\ATARI.ATR ›into ramdisk #4. Just type L4A:\ATARI.ATR and RETURN.››Note that some commands give you prompts which you must answer in your ›command string, so anticipate them. For instance, if you tell the PC to›write back a file, you need to anticipate "USE EXISTING FILESPEC?" and›"FILE EXISTS, OK TO OVERWRITE?". Not that if writing was successful, the ›"W" in the status line will have changed to "N" after completion.››One person was using REMOTE.OBJ on the Atari as an AUTORUN.SYS, and feeding›it with a batch script from SPARTADOS to automate setup of his MIO ›ramdisks. Because he couldn't simulate a character from the keyboard›with SPARTADOS, my "Run another command (Y/N)" left him stranded. For this›reason, you can now skip the command by starting your string with a space.›When REMOTE.OBJ sees the space, it will return to DOS automatically.››Note: After completion of a command, REMOTE.OBJ is allowing the PC a ›certain number of seconds to complete it before giving up on getting the›ramdisk status. If you find that not enough time has been allowed, let›me know so I can add some more. (If you choose to skip the rerun prompt,›you won't be getting the ramdisk status after command completion.)››Note that there are a few commands that don't work with REMOTE.OBJ.  Almost›all of the common ones do, however.›
