I am fairly new to OS/2 (just installed 1.2 on my homemade PC clone last Sunday) and I have a question about copying a floppy disk from drive a: to drive a:. Instead of just storing up all of the contents in ram (I have 4meg) the copy command takes about 256k at a time and keeps asking me to swap disks. I am sure that an equivalent to the Norton Utilities will eventually be available for OS/2 and the HPFS file system but for now I am wondering if there is a better way to copy floppy disks. Thanks in advance for any info on this: Todd Bradstrum P.S. Anyone know of any good public domain communications for OS/2 ?

I am sure that an equivalent You might want to look at DSKCPY2 available through anonymous FTP from mtsg.ubc.ca (128.189.103.1) in the OS2 directory. Kasey
