Alternatively, a simple Basic program could also be used: 10 OPEN #1,4,0,"D:whatever" 20 OPEN #2,8,0,"C:" 30 TRAP 200 40 GET #1,X 50 PUT #2,X 60 GOTO 40 200 CLOSE #1 210 CLOSE #2 220 END This would be a bit slower, but should work. If you are talking about copying boot disks, as opposed to DOS files, things get a whole lot more complicated, and you won't find a general purpose program to do this job for you.
