ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL

CP/M ENHANCEMENTS

CP/M will now give you a directory off that

drive. (Wasn’t that fun!)

In order to complete the enhanced CP/M master

diskette, you will need to move the enhanced

utilities onto the master diskette from the

Enhancements diskette. The standard CP/M PIP

utility is designed for this little task. (PIP

stands for Peripheral Interchange Programs.)

In order to make room for the new utilities on

the master diskette, it will be necessary to

remove the old ones first. Type the following

two CP/M commands. After each command, CP/M

will simply respond with “A>”.

ERA FORMAT. COM<RETURN>

ERA COPY. COM<RETURN>

These two commands ERAsed the old FORMAT and

COPY utilities. Now, to copy the new utilities

onto the enhanced CP/M master, insert the En-

hancements diskette into drive B:. Then type

the following CP/M commands. After each com-

mand, CP/M will respond with “A> when it has

finished copying the file.

PIP A:=B:FORMAT.COM[V]<RETURN>

PIP A:=B:COPY.COM[V]<RETURN>

PIP A:=B:PROFILE.COM[V]<RETURN>

Each command tells the PIP utility to copy the

specified file from drive B: to drive A:. The

“[V]” part tells PIP to verify that each file

was copied correctly. If you’re a first time

Apple CF/N user, the “[“ character is produced
