would wildcarding be *.* ? or some other characters? and is it
DX1:*.*=DX0:*.*

My pip just responds ?OUT FIL?
and DX1:=DX0:*.* responds with : ?ILL DEV?

But DX1:TT.SYS=DX0:TT.SYS works fine.

I'm guessing that the version of FORMAT does this because if I FORMAT a
disk and then DCOPY the HT-11B Distribution to it, it boots.

Nope, no DUP.

The reason I ask is that in my quest for 8" floppies I found two floppies
marked RT-11V20C (which is one letter later than V20B which HT-11 thinks it
is) but I can't seem to get a complete copy of DISK 1, but I can boot it.

Thanks for any help,
