Created 2026-08-20 • Updated 2026-08-20GitHubA 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.
