CP/M 3.0 supports the character "_" (underline) as valid within a filename and it is so documented. Builtins such as ERASE and RENAME have no trouble handling this, nor does either the builtin or transient DIR. However, PIP just gets bent out of shape and refuses to accept the syntax (e.g. a:=b:tvx_io.c). I am referring specifically to the Commodore 128 version of 3.0, but suspect it is really a generic problem. Digital Research sent me their set of application notes, but I didn't see this mentioned as a fixed bug. I don't suppose there is any easy fix short of re-writing PIP?
