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.
