[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] XCMDs for Disk Free Space and File Copying.

jfmjfm@caen.engin.umich.edu (John F. Mansfield) (07/23/90)

Hi there can some one help us?  We are trying to write a script that
copies files from a hard disk to floppies and we want to check to see
if the file will fit on the floppy before we try to copy it is there
an xcmd or xfcn that lets us check the amount of free space on a disk?
Also are there any file copying xcmds available? We have one but it
has some limitations and we were wondering if there are any others.
Please reply by email please to John_Mansfield@emal.sprl.umich.edu
Thanks very much.

I've actually had several requests lately for file copying XCMDs without
limitations.  I posted one to sumex over a year ago as a "sample XCMD"
for use with Think C (3 at the time).  It's free for any use your heart
desires, but I forget exactly where it's filed.  If you have trouble
finding it, send me a mail message and I'll mail you a copy directly.
