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?
Stretching my brain here, but I think you want:
DX1:*.*=DX0:*.*/X/Y
The "/X" means to copy the files individually, without concatenation
The "/Y" means to copy the *.SYS files (without this, you'd get
some ?NO SYS ACTION? messages).
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.
DCOPY almost certainly does a block-by-block copy ("image mode"), not
a file-by-file copy. So you'd naturally get the boot block.
