1.4 How to Copy Your CP/M 3 Disks CP/M 3 User's Guide
CP/M 3 loads COPYSYS into memory and runs it. COPYSYS displays the following
output on your screen. When the program prompts you, press RETURN only when
you have verified that the correct disk is in the correct drive.
Copysys Ver 3,0
Source drive (or return for default) ?A
Source on A then type return
Function complete
Destination drive name (or return to reboot) ?B
Destination on B then type return
Function complete
Do You wish to copy CPM3.SYS? Yes
(CP/M 3 repeats the above prompts to copy CPM3.SYS.)
A>
You now have a copy of the operating system only. To copy the remaining files from
disk I of 2, enter the following PIP command.
A>PIP B:=A:*.*
This PIP command copies all the files in your disk directory to drive B from drive A.
PIP displavs the message COPYING followed by each filename as the copy operation
proceeds. When PIP finishes copying, CP/M 3 displays the system prompt.
Now you have an exact copy of the distribution disk 1 of 2 in drive B. Remove
the original from drive A and store it in a safe place. If your original remains safe
and unchanged, you can easily restore your CP/M 3 program files if something
happens to your working copy.
