TRANSIENT UTILITY COMMANDS | I
The CP/M 3.0 transient utility commands are listed in Table 14-4. When a command key
word identifying a transient utility is entered, CP/M 3.0 loads the program file from the

HOW TO MAKE COPIES OF
CP/M 3.0 DISKS AND FILES
NOTE: The Digital Research Inc. COPYSYS command, used in many I J
CP/M systems in formatting a disk, is not implemented on the Commo
dore 128 computer. Instead, the Commodore 128 uses a special FORMAT
command.
u
To make backups of the CP/M system disks, use the FORMAT and PIP utility
programs. FORMAT formats the disk as either a C128 single-sided or C128 double-sided
diskette.
