VECTOR 4 USER'S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION TO VECTOR 4 CP/M
You can either enter the command PIP [RETURN], in which case the screen
will prompt you with an asterisk to tell you it is ready for the command line;
or you can enter the command all at once, by entering PIP <target>=<source>
[RETURN]. Some other command files use this kind of optional entry. All
the transient commands will be explained in detail in the TRANSIENT
COMMANDS section of this manual.
Review
Files under Vector 4 CP/M are identified by two parts:
• a filename, which identifies and is used to call the file, and which
can be up
to eight characters long.
• an extension, which helps the computer interpret the file, and is
three characters long.
File names can be of two types:
• unambhruous, which refers to only one file. All the spaces are
taken up by acceptable characters (anything except CP/M's controls
and punctuation marks).
.
• ambGous, which can refer to several different files.
Vector 4 CP/M's wild cards are:
• the " which stands for any character in that location,
• the·, which stands for any combination of characters in that
location.
