Ver:   SWAP v1.1
DOS:   TRSDOS/LS-DOS 6.2, 6.3

Description:

SWAP/CMD is a Share Ware utility program which allows the user to
"swap" two logical drives.  It will not swap drives which have been
disabled.  Care should be taken that you do not swap drives with files
which are currently open (either to read or write), including JCL.  If
you are swapping the system drive (0), the destination drive must have
the DOS on it -- no checks are made to insure this, and failure to do
so will result in a need to reset the machine.  It is recommended that
the user apply SWAPBOOT/JCL to when using SWAP with drive 0, since the
system will lock up if a diskette is not present in the original :0 after
another drive has been made the system drive.

Instructions:

At the xxxDOS Ready prompt, type SWAP.  The system will load the file,
and show the opening banner, including the notice that this software is
copyrighted.  If yours is an unregistered version (see below), you will
see a message giving you the address of the author, so that you may
contact him to obtain a registered copy.  Otherwise, you will be reminded
that your copy has been registered.

Since you did not enter any drives to SWAP, you were given an error message
stating so.  SWAP always needs two drive specs.  In the unregistered version,
a colon must precede a digit 0 to 7 (ie, :0, :1, ... :7), although this
restriction is lifted in the registered version, and the colon may or may not
be supplied for either drive spec.

Examples:
               SWAP :0 :7         (Valid in either version)
               SWAP 0  :7         (Valid in registered version only)

Registration:

author), send:

     1) $10 (US funds only: check or money order),
     2) preferred diskette format (specify DOS version, disk size,

     4) address,
     5) ZIP (necessary!),
     6) daytime phone (in case of problems),

Share Ware -- What is it?

Share Ware is an emerging method of software distribution which uses
the most effective advertising method to spread the news of the 
products -- word of mouth.  With Share Ware, a person receives a
(usually limited capabilities version) software package with adequate
documentation.  If the user likes the package or wishes to upgrade it,
he sends the author/publisher a fee, and receives the latest & greatest
version of the package with full documentation and complete user support
services.  The user is free to copy and distribute the UNREGISTERED
(limited capabilities) copy of the software to his friends, etc, as long
as he makes no charges for the product.  This is similar to public domain,
but the software IS STILL COPYRIGHTED and pirates may be punished under 
Federal law.

With Share Ware, the user gets a bargain, since he did not pay to receive
the initial version, and the fee to upgrade is usually nominal, often far
less than equivalent "name-brand" packages.  The smart user will register
his software with the author since he is then provided with product news,
support services, and a better product, and it won't cost him nearly as
much as the alternatives might.
