Several months ago Ross Forster of the AMIGA Users group of Calgary (AMUC) posted an alphabetized listing of the Fred Fish disk contents. Does any one have an updated version of that list? I believe it was current through FF147. If it is available can I get it through an FTP site. I would think it might be of universal enough interest to warrent posting here. Speaking of Fred Fish I am trying to do something which should be trivial, but some how I am not getting the proper result. I am using 1.3. I have tried several variants and gyrations of the copy command and I cannot figure out how to copy the files and sub-directories of a 'product' from its directory on a Fish disk to another disk so the files and the sub-directories are copied to the root directory rather than to the same named directory at the root. In otherwords how do I turn a 'product' directory into a disk short of brute strength item by item copy? This is obviously important for some 'products' since they require a 'bootable' disk to run!!! I will probably hang my head in shame when I find out what I am doing wrong, but go ahead and shame me anyway..... Or better yet, tell me I only thought I could do it, but it is not really doable with a copy command. It looks like I can use the LIST command to build a script if I have to. Perhaps that is the more appropriate way to go, but it just seems to me that somewhere long ago I did it with COPY! Thanks for the help Jerry Whitman
