CP/M then displays the following information:
PIP (COPY)
Syntax:
DESTINATION SOURCE
PIP d: {Gn}|file$pec {[Gn]} =filespec {[o]} ,..Jd: {[o]}
Explanation:
The file copy program PIP copies files, combines files,
and transfers files between disks, printers, consoles, or
other devices attached to your computer. The first
filespec is the destination. The second filespec is the
source. Use two or more source filespecs separated by
commas to combine two or more files into one file, [o] is
any combination of the available options. The [Gn] option
in the destination filespec tells PIP to copy your file to
that user number.
PIP with no command tail displays an * prompt and
awaits your series of commands, entered and processed
one line at a time. The source or destination can be any
CP/M 3.0 logical device.
The HELP facility provides information like this on all the CP/M 3.0
built-in and transient utility commands. If you want information on a
specific area, you can type HELP subject after the system prompt,
where subject is a command tail describing the subject you are inter
ested in. For example:
A> HELP PIP
A> HELP DIRSYS
You can refer to HELP any time you need information on a specific
command. Or you can just browse through HELP to broaden your
knowledge of CP/M 3.0.
