IBN-Service Posts: 8946 Rating: (999)	Trank What is the full name of PCP/M file and where to use the file? In the 80th of last century, there was no MS-DOS (even no Windows...), but PCP/M. Some very old machines have their backup not on MS-DOS floppy discs but on PCP/M floppy discs. 51/4" Floppys, of course! With the PCPM-Tools you are able to read this old files and also to copy ("pip") them onto a MS-DOS drive! You find the tools usually in the step5\s5_home directory. "Pcopy, Pdel, Pformat,Pset, Ptype"
