Two questions, folks: 1) Are there any routines that will copy a file (data fork, resource fork, and finder info) without having to individually access each of these forks and write them to the destination volume? 2) Is there a routine to write boot blocks to a volume? I need to know these so that my program can automatically copy files from my HD to an inserted initialized floppy. It will also need to copy a stripped down (very stripped down) System and Finder so that the new floppy can be bootable, hence the need for boot blocks. Please offer any advice. I must do this within the program, so telling me of a Desk Accessory or "make use of the Finder" is not going to help. Advice on doing this using Pascal is preferable though I can handle LightSpeed C at a pinch. thanks in advance... the fwoggie.
