A C reimplementation of PPIP v1.8 (D. Jewett III, 1985-1988), a classic CP/M file copy utility. Built with z88dk targeting CP/M 2.2. Adds direct access to the NABU RetroNET Internet Adapter file store (IA:) and the FreHD Hard Disk emulator (SD:).

NPPIP.COM program is located on the N: drive in user area 2. To run this, look in the Internet Adapter or Headless menu and select Cloud CPM. After CPM loads and you are presented with a A:0> prompt, type the drive (N:), and then type the user area (user 2). If you type DIR, look for the COM file (NPPIP.COM). Enter that filename at the prompt to execute the CPPIP / NPPIP / FPPIP - CP/M File Copy Utility.

What it does

CPPIP copies files on CP/M systems - between drives, between user areas, or any combination. It handles wildcards, CRC verification, move operations, and read-only file protection. The IA: prefix adds direct access to the RetroNET Internet Adapter file store on NABU systems. The SD: prefix adds direct access to files on an SD card via a FreHD hard disk emulator on TRS-80 and compatible systems.
