System information

The following examples show valid PIP commands that specify parameters in the file transfer.
PIP X.ASM=B:[V]
Copies X.ASM from drive B to the current drive and verifies that the data were
properly copied.
PIP LPT:=X.ASM[NT8U]
Copies X.ASM to the LPT: device; numbers each line, expands tabs to every
eighth column, and translates lower-case alphabetics to upper-case.
PIP PUN:=X.HEX[I],Y.ZOT[H]
First copies X.HEX to the PUN: device and ignores the trailing :00 record in
X.HEX; continues the transfer of data by reading Y.ZOT, which contains HEX
records, including any :00 records it contains.
PIP X.LIB=Y.ASM[sSUBR1:^zqJMP L3^z]
Copies from the file Y.ASM into the file X.LIB. The command starts the copy
when the string SUBR1: has been found, and quits copying after the string JMP
L3 is encountered.
PIP PRN:=X.ASM[p50]
Sends X.ASM to the LST: device with line numbers, expands tabs to every eighth
column, and elects pages at every 50th line. The assumed parameter list for a PRN
file is nt8p60; p50 overrides the default value.
Under normal operation, PIP does not overwrite a file that is set to a permanent R/O status. If an
attempt is made to overwrite an R/O file, the following prompt appears:
DESTINATION FILE IS R/O, DELETE (Y/N)?
If you type Y, the file is overwritten. Otherwise, the following response appears:
** NOT DELETED **
