- SUMMARY: gcopy d:xxxxxxx.xxx t:
-
- ARGUMENTS: d:xxxxxxxx.xxx specifies the ambiguous file
- name used for the target search
-
- if the d:xxxxxxxx.xxx is left out, GCOPY
- assumes the users wants *.*
-
- t: specifies the drive for the output
-
- description: GCOPY is used to copy files from one drive to
- another. The user may enter an ambiguous
- file name and drive specifier. The program
- then goes through the matching files it finds
- in the directory and asks the user if he wants
- to copy over this file. The program keeps
- track of the desired files, then copies them
- after all have been specified.
-
- Version 1.01 adds a feature whereby the diskettes
- may be changed after invoking GCOPY. The directory
- of the source disk will not be read until the
- RETURN key is pressed at the prompt after the first
- screen. This allows you to keep a copy of GCOPY on
- one utility disk and make use of the program without
- having to maintain a copy on all of your diskettes.
-
- Version 1.02 changes the way in which file dates are
- handled. In previous versions, newly created files
- took on the current system date. In this release, the
- newly created files inherit the date from the original
- file. This change conforms with the way in which the
- PC-DOS intrinsic 'COPY' dates files. Thanks to several
- users for pointing this out!
-
- This program was compiled using the Manx Aztec C Compiler.
-
- The compile and link process is as follows:
-
- c86 gcopy.c
- as86 -o gcopy.o gcopy.asm
- ln -o gcopy.exe gcopy.o gorlib.lib dosa.lib videoa.lib libc.lib
- multdel gcopy.o gcopy.asm
