- 04/07/91 COPYALL Version 1.0
-
-
- Function: Copy groups of files to multiple diskettes with
- efficient space utilization.
-
- To Use Enter: COPYALL [/<drive-letter>] [<file-id>]... <enter>
-
- Parameters: By default, COPYALL will copy all files in the
- current drive/directory to drive A:. The target
- drive can be changed by supplying the appropriate
- switch. For example:
-
- COPYALL /B
-
- will copy all files in the current drive/directory
- to drive B:.
-
- One or more source file parameters may be supplied.
- These may include drive, path and file names. The
- file names may include DOS wild cards. For example:
-
- COPYALL *.PAS D:\TURBO\*.TPU
-
- would copy all *.PAS files from the current
- directory and all *.TPU files from subdirectory
- TURBO on drive D:.
-
- Processing: Before copying any files the program builds a table
- in memory identifying each file. In the event of
- duplicate file names (from multiple source
- parameters) the program will terminate with an error
- message.
-
- The program will then prompt you to insert target
- diskettes as needed. As each target diskette is
- supplied it is scanned for existing files which
- would conflict with those being copied, and rejected
- if using that disk would create an ambiguous
- situation in reloading files.
-
- Files are then copied to the diskette based on the
- space available. The largest file which will fit in
- the space available is the file next copied.
-
- You may intermix high and low density disk. Should
- you decide to terminate the process you can press
- the <ESC> key instead of the <ENTER> key when
- prompted for a new disk.
