The PIP Command
Syntax: PIP dest-filespec|d:{[Gn]} = src-filespec{[o]}{,...} | d:{[o]}
Explanation: PIP is a transient utility that copies one or more files from one disk
and/or user number to another. PIP can rename a file after copying it.
PIP can combine two or more files into one file. PIP can also copy a
character file from disk to the printer or other auxiliary logical output
device. PIP can create a file on disk from input from the console or
other logical input device. PIP can transfer data from a logical input
device to a logical output device, thus the name Peripheral Interchange
Program.
Single File Copy
Syntax:
PIP copies file attributes with the file. This includes Read-Write or
Read-Only and SYS or DIR file attributes and the user-definable attributes
Fl through F4. If a file is password-protected, you must enter the
password in the command line following the filename and/or filetype to
which it belongs. If the password fails, the file is skipped and the failure
noted.
When you specify a destination file with a password, PIP assigns that
password to the destination file and automatically sets the password
protection mode to READ. When you specify a destination file with no
password, PIP does not assign a password to the destination file. When
'fy only a destination drive, PIP assigns the same password and
you speci
password protection mode to the destination file as specified in the
source file. When you specify a destination file with a password, PIP
automatically sets the password protection mode to READ. This means
that you need a password to read the file. (See the SET command.)
