System information

The following are valid PIP commands:
PIP LST:=X.PRN
Copies X.PRN to the LST device and terminates the PIP program.
PIP
Starts PIP for a sequence of commands. PIP prompts with *.
*CON:=X.ASM,Y.ASM,Z.ASM
Concatenates three ASM files and copies to the CON device.
*X.HEX=CON:,Y.HEX,PTR:
Creates a HEX file by reading the CON until a CTRL-Z is typed, followed by data
from Y.HEX and PTR until a CTRL-Z is encountered.
PIP PUN:=NUL:,X.ASM,EOF:,NUL:
Sends 40 nulls to the punch device; copies the X.ASM file to the punch, followed
by an end-of-file, CTRL-Z, and 40 more null characters.
(carriage return)
A single carriage return stops PIP.
You can also specify one or more PIP parameters, enclosed in left and right square brackets,
separated by zero or more blanks. Each parameter affects the copy operation, and the enclosed
list of parameters must immediately follow the affected file or device. Generally, each parameter
can be followed by an optional decimal integer value (the S and Q parameters are exceptions).
Table 1-4 describes valid PIP parameters.
