MPE-1P is a version of MPE V.  If your customer has NS on the HP9000,
to push from the 3000 to the 9000, he/she can enter:
 
  :DSCOPY MPEFILE;"/path/hpux.file",hpuxnode[user:pw];{opts}
 
    opts: (among others)
 
        ASC - ASCII
        BIN - BINARY
        VAR - variable width
        REP - replace target file
 
To push a file from the 9000 to the 3000, use something like:
 
  # dscopy {opts} hpuxfile mpenode#user.account/pw,group#mpefile
 
    opts: (among others)
 
        -A - ASCII
        -B - BINARY
        -r - replace target file
        -p - print status
 
Note that the HP-UX dscopy goes away as of version 10.0.
