HOW TO SAVE & LOAD KAREL FILES

1. Using your own copy of Karel on your own Windows machine
2. Using a floppy disk on a public-site CIT Windows machine
3. Using UBFS

If, however, you want to use both your own machine (to work at home) as well as the public-site CIT machines (to continue your work on campus), then you will need to use one of the other two methods below instead of saving your files on your own machine.

2. Using a floppy disk on a public-site CIT Windows machine

The only disadvantage to this method is that if you lose your disk, you lose all your work. Be sure to put your name and phone number on the disk in case you do lose it, in the hopes that some kind person will return it to you.

3. Using UBFS

For detailed information, see the CIT webpage "Welcome to UBFS Service" (http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/ubfs)

To save a Karel file to your UBFS space, do:

1. Click on the "save" button in Karel (there's one for saving worlds and one for saving programs); a window will pop up asking you to choose a drive or folder in which to save the file.

2. Select the S: drive

3. Select the folder where you want to save the file

4. Enter a filename

5. Press "Save"

   This would save the file to your UBFS space, just as if you were saving on your own machine.

1. If you are working at home, then:

   • Run UBFS

   • Logon with your IT name and Password

     If everything has been done correctly, this will mount the S: drive and the T: drive in My Computer.

     (else, if you are working on a public-site CIT Windows machine, you do not need to do this, since UBFS is already installed on the public-site machines)

2. Run Karel

3. Go to File --> Open

4. Switch to the S: drive

5. Find and double click on the Karel file you wish to open

   The file is then opened from UBFS with Karel, just as if it were on another local hard drive on the machine (just a little slower, of course, depending on your connection speed).
