  • Lab 2:
    • For this lab you will be asked to access different types of files using several different methods.
    • What you need to do:
      1. Dump the lines in the source code for the STATUS command ($NMROOT/nxm/sys/intr/Status.java) using the package syntax.
      2. Form the path for apenny.prm in AREA=DAT, OPT=SYS in a platform independent way. Then use the if command to check for its existence from the shell.
      3. Can you list the files in http://nextmidas.techma.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/? Why or why not?
      4. Can you STATUS the file http://nextmidas.techma.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm? Why or why not?
      5. Use the NOOP command to copy the first half of the elements from http://nextmidas.techma.com/nm/nxm/sys/dat/apenny.prm to a file halfpenny.prm in your WRITE aux.
