5.1 What the P Tools Do
With the P Tools, you can access PCP/M data media under
MS-DOS. PCP/M data media are hard disk partitions or diskettes
formatted with S5-DOS (PCP/M). This allows you to work with:
 STEP 5 user programs/data created under S5-DOS (PCP/M)
using MS-DOS, or
 STEP 5 user programs/data created under MS-DOS using
S5-DOS
An emulator allows the S5-DOS basic package with STEP 5
applications to run under MS-DOS (refer to the STEP 5 manual).

The following P Tools are available:
PCOPY copies files from or to PCP/M media.

running under MS-DOS and transfer files with the FTARC
program (see Chapter 6).
