- ║ Copy It Over Here ! ║║ ║ ║═╗
- ║ ║║ ║ From the mind ║ ║
- ║ ║║ ║ of ║ ║
- ║ a simplified copy program ║║═════════║ ║ ║
- ║ to replace the horrible ║║ ║ DAVID SMITH ║ ║
- ║ DOS command. ║║ ║ ║ ║

- Instead of typing:
- copy \DOS\UTILITIES\FILES\BACKUPS\MONTHS\myfile \LOTUS\WEEK1\FILES\1991\
-
- just enter: ┌──────────────┐
- │ BRING myfile │
- └──────────────┘
-
- and my program does all the work. It searches all disk drives, all
- directories. Finds the file, then brings a copy to your current directory.
-
- If you love typing, stick with DOS's "copy". But for everyone else, this
- is the answer you've been looking for.
-
- No, don't look for anything like this on Bulletin Boards. It's one-of-a-kind.
- I guarantee once you try this out, you'll never type "copy ..." again !
-
-
- Usage: BRING [filename] [a]
-
- So to copy a "lifestory.txt" from one directory to another on your hard
- disk, type:
- BRING lifestory.txt
-
- Or if the file is on your A: drive, and you want a copy on your hard drive,
- type:
- BRING lifestory.txt a
-
- █▀ ▀█
- █ the "a" option causes it to search ALL disk drives █
- █▄ on your computer (from A to Z) for the file. ▄█

- ║ ║
- ║ RULES FOR OPERATION ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 1. This program was designed to copy files from ANYWHERE ║
- ║ to your hard disk (C:, D:, etc..) It will not copy ║
- ║ a file from C:, D:, .. to a floppy disk. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 2. The two .PCX files included are for the help and ║
- ║ introductory graphic screens. They are ANSI based, ║
- ║ and ansi.sys must be installed to use them. If, ║
- ║ however, you don't want these, use the no-frills version ║
- ║ of BRINGS.EXE (which stands for bring (simple). And ║
- ║ the little chirp you hear is in the memory of my cute ║
- ║ little parakeet "Whistle" that died in the mouth of my ║
- ║ (now homeless) cat. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 3. When using the "a" option, some computers insist upon ║
- ║ having a disk in the drive. So be prepared with a couple ║
- ║ of junk disks, just in case you have to stuff one in. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 4. The first instance of your file is copied. So if there ║
- ║ are three or four versions of your file scattering your ║
- ║ disks, you might check to see if you received the correct ║
- ║ one. ║
- ║ I created the program assuming you want a file, and don't want║
- ║ to type the darn pathname everytime. Version 2.0 will have ║
- ║ options displaying the date and size of the file found, then ║
- ║ will prompt "Copy this one?". ║
- ║ For this update, see registration information at end of this ║
- ║ file. ║
- ║ ║

-
- a simpler version ???? BRINGS.EXE No frills, no messages, no BS !
- If you hate the fancy artwork I spent so many hours on, then fine,
- be that way, just use the whistler version.

- ▐ Why is this a revolution in copying? ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ Every copy utility I have used or purchased do the same thing. Add on ▌
- ▐ a mouse feature maybe, a system file copying, or specialized diskette ▌
- ▐ copying... ▌
- ▐ I didn't need those, and you probably don't either. I need something ▌
- ▐ for my tired hands and eyes, something that relieves all the unnecessary ▌
- ▐ junk given to me by MS-DOS. ▌
- ▐ Yea, DOS makes a nice little TSR copy, but I knew there was a better ▌
- ▐ and easier way. ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ "But Dave", you say, "All you did was take off the pathname from DOS's ▌
- ▐ copy function". ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ WRONG !! Not only did I relieve you of the pathname, now, you don't even ▌
- ▐ have to know where the heck you ARE on your disk. ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ ALSO: When using DOS's "copy", you can mess up the spelling of your ▌
- ▐ directory and copy your file into some weird-named file. Then, ▌
- ▐ you lose your data. ▌
- ▐ Say you copy a couple of files: copy "c:\dos\backup\*.* \week1\moden" ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ You see how I misspelled "MODEM" and made "MODEN"? Most people ▌
- ▐ would've missed the mistake and all the files from your backup ▌
- ▐ directory would be jumbled and lost. ▌
- ▐ ESPECIALLY IF YOU ERASED THE ORIGINAL FILES !!! ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ My program doesn't make that mistake. ▌
- ▐ ▌
- ▐ Yes, this is the true revolution of copying ... ▌
