One thing I would like to see is a bigger buffer for copy.
Since I only have one disk drive, if I want to copy a file from
one disk to another I have to copy it into RAM: and then to the
new disk (which is very handy since I don't have to keep switching).
I would like it if I could do something similar with COPY. Maybe
it could look at the size of the file and then at available memory
and see how much it can fit ?
As for the rest...I certainly don't think it needs any great overhaul...
it is nice as it is (but remember that my last computer was a Commodore 64).
Incidently, anyone who is interested in the origin of AmigaDOS should
take a look at the issue of BYTE that is on the shelves right now (it also
includes a nice overview of Intuition by R. J. Mical.
