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?
Right... the CSI requires a file specification of some sort (which
is reason for the dummy filename I mentioned in a recent post). But
I think that the proper form for wildcards in the copy is
DX1:*=DX0:*.*
but it has been so long, I won't commit to it...
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.
That is a strange FORMAT... Then again, it could be .CHAINing to
PIP with the appropriate command...
Nope, no DUP.
DUP didn't show up until a few releases later, when the functions
of PIP were split into PIP, DUP and DIR. PIP was then specifically
used for file copies, DUP for disk utility operations, and DIR
specifically for directories.
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.
I know I have a copy of V2C in my collection, on RK05... it probably
should be cleaned before use, though...
