Try the xcopy program that comes with MSDOS. This will work like using
copy -rmv under Xenix.
xcopy a:\ c:\ /s
The /s will cause it to go down the tree. If you don't want to put the root of
the floppy on the root of the hard disk then change the path on xcopy.
xcopy a:\ c:\foo /s
Have fun.

XCOPY a:\*.* c:\flopdir /S If not you have to write a program to do it. marco
