        I have just uploaded several hard disk utilities  from  a
recent SIG/M disk of that topic.  They are in AR15:CPM on MIT-MC.
CRCs check.  These utilities are:

Name            MIT-MC Files            Function

BIGBURST        BIGBUR ASM & DOC        Copy a file from a hard disk
                                        to several floppies, where
                                        the file is too big to fit
                                        on just one floppy

FLOPCOPY        FLPCPY ASM & DOC        On a hard disk/one floppy system,
                                        copy files from one floppy to
                                        another thru the hard disk
                                        automatically; this copies all
                                        files from the source floppy to
                                        the hard disk and then tells you
                                        to insert the dest floppy, at
                                        which time it copies all files from
                                        the hard disk to the dest floppy,
                                        deleting the files from the hard disk

MULTCOPY        MLTCPY ASM & DOC        Backs up a hard disk onto multiple
                                        floppies; assumes the largest file
                                        can fit on one floppy

        The BACKUP program  from  the  same  set  is  similar  to
MULTCOPY  and was already in AR15:CPM.  All programs were written
and contributed by Gary Young in North Hollywood, CA.  I have not
tried them myself, but I have heard that they work well.

        Enjoy!
