On RSTS, to access a disk without using the RSTS file system ( non file structured mode

I take it copy takes different syntax? ;)
No the problem is that you can t do non-file operations there. In RSTS, only some
applications allow non-file operations; basically, they have to know how to issue open
requests with no file name part supplied. A lot of applications supply default file name
pieces if you don t supply your own; NFT/FAL (network copy) is one such, for that matter
so is regular file copy.
You d have to copy the input file to a file on the target system, then do the non-file
structured copy as a separate step. And the easiest way to do that second step is
probably with a half dozen lines of BASIC code I can t think of an off the shelf
program that will do the job.
