Program: PIPE File Transfer Utility PUBLIC DOMAIN Author: Rob Friefeld Long Beach, CA Purpose: Small (1k) program intended as RAM disk resident Usage: pipe [du:|dir:] [du:|dir:][afn] [/o] i.e. pipe [where] Assembly: Requires Z80 machine and assembler Version: 1.5 2/87 Version: 1.6 8/87 Version: 1.7 10/87 Version: 1.8 1/2/88 Command line option /o, where "o" = ... [F]1..[F]4 - Select source file attribute F1..F4 to copy W - Wheel protect attribute (ZRDOS) R - R/O S - SYS A - ARC These options may be reversed with "~" or "-". I - Inspect before copy N - NO query before erase (even for R/O files!) Any number of options may be specified. Any character other than these is ignored. (i.e. commas, extra slashes) Example: PIPE *.* a15: /f12s - Copy only files marked with F1, F2, SYS PIPE *.* a15: /-a1r - Copy all NOT ARC, NOT F1, and R/W files This utility is a fast file copier that uses the first 8000h of TPA. The syntax is different from PIP's, i.e. the source file is named first, then the destination. Both source and destination may be ambiguous file names. (Wild card renaming of the destination can be dangerous to your mental health, however.) If the optional destination is omitted, files will be fetched to the current DU:. If the destination file exists, you will be asked ERASE? (y/N/q). No is the default answer. A 'Y' will abort the copy and a 'Q' aborts the run. Attributes of the destination file are kept. If the destination file does not exist, attributes of the source file are copied. If the destination disk is filled, the incomplete copy is deleted and a disk reset is done. (If this is not done, DIR will still report 0k free space.) Otherwise, PIPE does NOT do a disk reset. No installation is needed. Since most of the logic is in the DOS, named directories under ZCPR3 will work. Also, PIPE is reentrant. EXAMPLES: B5>PIPE A0:*.Z80 (You enter...then PIPE prints...) Copying --> A0: FILE1 .Z80 to B5: Copying --> A0: FILE2 .Z80 to B5: Copying --> A0: ANOTHER1.Z80 to B5: B5>GO THIS.FIL A0:THAT.FIL Copying --> B5: THIS .FIL to A0:THAT .FIL A0>PIPE TEST.* ARC:WORKS.* Copying --> A0: TEST .Z80 to B15:WORKS .Z80 Copying --> A0: TEST .DOC to B15:WORKS .DOC Copying --> A0: TEST .COM to B15:WORKS .COM
