RADSCOM Commands
The RADSCOM package is a menu driven program containing functions that enable communications between
the CADU and an IBM or IBM compatible computer. These functions allow the user to initialize the CADU RAM
disk, create the CADU file structure, transfer data from the CADU to the PC, transfer data from the PC to the
CADU, and create the Credit Card file structure.
The following notations are used in this section:
file name: name of a file residing on the PC
<path>:
path to the file to be referenced on the disk (e.g. C:\RADSCOM\AC_Types
\uh60_r.cmd, etc.)
Listed below are the most commonly used RADSCOM single-letter selections and a short description of each.
They are sorted according to the RADSCOM menu in which they appear. Some commands appear more than
once in the program and will therefore appear more than once in the description:
