Hi Tim,
At 10:58 PM 4/29/99 -0400, you wrote:
.R PIP
*DY1:FILE.OUT=DY0:FILE.IN
wildcarding works, too.
would wildcarding be *.* ? or some other characters? and is it
DX1:*.*=DX0:*.*
My pip just responds ?OUT FIL?
and DX1:=DX0:*.* responds with : ?ILL DEV?
But DX1:TT.SYS=DX0:TT.SYS works fine.
You also have to put a bootblock on the resulting disk
to make it
bootable, but I don't know how to do this (off the top of my head)
in HT-11 (or RT-11 V2B).
I'm guessing that the version of FORMAT does this because if I FORMAT a
disk and then DCOPY the HT-11B Distribution to it, it boots.
In later RT-11's, this is done via DUP, but
this doesn't exist in your distribution, does it?
Nope, no DUP.
The reason I ask is that in my quest for 8" floppies I found two floppies
marked RT-11V20C (which is one letter later than V20B which HT-11 thinks it
is) but I can't seem to get a complete copy of DISK 1, but I can boot it.
Thanks for any help,
