.R PIP
*DY1:FILE.OUT=DY0:FILE.IN

wildcarding works, too. If you want to find which blocks are readable,
and your distribution has the null device built in, you can try copying
each file to NL:.

You also have to put a bootblock on the resulting disk to make it
bootable, but I don't know how to do this (off the top of my head)
in HT-11 (or RT-11 V2B). In later RT-11's, this is done via DUP, but
this doesn't exist in your distribution, does it?
