Subject: Re: PIPing random files

The problem may be that PIP is interpreting the file as a TEXT file, and is
truncating it at the first CTRL-Z (ASCII #26) character that it finds.
Try the following version of the PIP command -- it should probably solve the
problem:
     
     PIP destfile=sourcefile[O]
     
The "O" parameter tells PIP that the file being copied is a binary file,
and tells it to copy the ENTIRE file, even if it finds a CTRL-Z in it, which
would mean "END-OF-FILE" for a text file.  You'll still have to include
any "G" paraemter that is necessary for copying from one user area on the
floppy to a different user area on the hard disk.
