Abstract: EXPIP is a transfer program which was written to perform

some of the functions now performed by the FOTP program, now in

OS/8. However, EXPIP contains some functions besides those in the

FOTP program which makes it worthwhile in some special applications.

These functions are:

a) It will do file transfers based on the dates, and it will create a

device that contains only the most recent copy of two files.

b) It contains a function for delete after copy which sometimes is

very useful.

c) It contains a special function allowing a copy to be made of a

DECtape. In a system containing only two DECtapes it will

utilize the system DECtape as an intermediate buffer in the copy.

d) As a special option it contains a function to merge a large

number of files to one file.

e) It can be used to make a file out of any specified blocks on a

device.
