LIF CP
Copies a LIF file to a DOS file, a DOS file to a LIF file, or a LIF file to another LIF file. <sfile> is the
source file name and <dfile> is the destination file name. The full path name must be specified for a LIF
file. LIF ASCII and BDAT formats are automatically converted to DOS format. All other files are
copied with no conversion. At least one of the files must be in a LIF directory (source or destination file).
This may be one of the internal flexible disk drives (e.g., A: or B:) or it may be an external HP-IB disk
drive (e.g., 700: or 70001:).
Syntax
LIFCP<sfile><dfile>[/U][/O][/B][/A][/R]
[/T:<fileType>] [/I:<implement>] [/N] [/S:<lineSize>] [/W]
or
LIFCOPY<sfile><dfile>[/U][/O][/B][/A][/R]
[/T:<fileType] [/I:<implement>] [/N] [/S:<lineSize>] [/W]
Options
<sfile> Source path and file name (must include drive specifier if file is LIF ). May contain
wild card characters ‘’*’’ and ‘’?’’.
<dfile> Destination path and file name (must include drive specifier if file is LIF ). May
contain wild card characters ‘’*’’ and ‘’?’’.
/U Show usage information for this command.
/B BDAT file copy (use only for DOS to LIF ).
/A ASCII file copy (use for DOS to LIF ).
/R Raw file copy (DOS to LIF or LIF to DOS). Do not convert file (copy as is).
/T:<fileType> (LIF destination only) Set the file type for the destination file to the specified file
type. This may be specified in decimal or hexadecimal (prefix with ‘’0x’’). The
file type specified will not affect any possible file conversions.
/I:<implement> Set the implementation field for the destination LIF file (DOS to LIF or LIF to
LIF ). This may be specified in decimal or hexadecimal (prefix with ‘’0x’’).
/N DonottranslatetovalidLIFfilename.
/S:<lineSize> Maximum line size for DOS to LIF ASCII file transfer (default 256 characters).
/W Wait for keyboard prompt before and after performing operation. This is useful for
a PC with only two disk drives; you can swap out the disk with the LIF.EXE
program to insert a LIF or DOS disk.
