P I P
Following on from yesterdays discovery of my CP/M-86 manual
from 1981 I include today the very wonderful copy command PIP.
I kinda lived by this program back in the eighties as it really
was the only disk tool I had for moving stuff around on 3" disks
with the Amstrad. I also had this little toolbox which was truly
amazing at salvaging files. If I ever made the mistake of deleting
a file I just fired this software up and literally scanned the
HEX dump and changed all the zero numbers to E, or the other
way around. Worked like a charm. Those were the days.
