EASY SELECTION SYSTEM FOR FILE UNDER CONTROL OF SLAVE STATION

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the system operability by referring to a list of files on a file storage device under the control of the slave station from a master station program. CONSTITUTION:A file allocation request means 105 sends a reported request for file allocation to the file allocation request means 109 of the slave station. The file allocating means 109 of the slave station allocates a requested file and enables the requested file to be operated from the master station program 102. Thus, the master station program 102 can refer to the file list on the file storage device 110 under the control of the slave station 106, so a list type file selection picture can be displayed. Consequently, a user need not utilize a file retrieval function characteristic to the slave station and the operability of the system can be improved.
