Method for updating a program on a combined program diskette in an interactive text processing system

摘要

A method to assist the operator of an interactive text processing system to update program modules associated with one of a plurality of text processing programs that have been combined on a two-sided, double-density (2S2D) combined program/work diskette. The method involves creating a new 2S2D combined program/work diskette by transferring the programming modules and other data from the old 2S2D combined program/work diskette so that the transferred programming modules assigned to each data set are recorded in module number order after each data set directory and the data set directories are also recorded in sequential order, and replacing a program module on the new 2S2D combined program/work diskette with a corresponding module from the 1S1D diskette containing the updated programs whenever the "build number" of the corresponding module on the 2S2D diskette is lower than the module on the 1S1D diskette.
