Short: Replacement for the standard Copy command
Author: john.hendrikx@grafix.xs4all.nl (John Hendrikx)
Uploader: lucia@igecuniv.cisi.unige.it (Claudio Di Martino)
Type: disk/copy
Description:
SCopy is a replacement for the standard Copy command. This copy
command is fully compatible with the standard Copy command but
also offers some extra features, most notably three different
kind of progress-displays.

Disclaimer:

is not responsible for any loss of data, damages to software or
hardware that may result directly or indirectly from the use of this
program. The author reserves the right to make changes to the
software or documentation without notice.
Features:
- Almost fully compatible with standard Copy command (the exception
is that SCopy doesn't have the BUF=BUFFER option since SCopy
does its own buffer allocation)
- 3 different progress displays: Standard (dots), Percentage indicator
and a complete Progress window (Suited for DirOpus, but looks good
in CLI too)
- Coded 100% in Assembler
- Smart progress indicators. SCopy will try and update the progress
indicators about once every second without sacrificing copy speed
- The progress window also shows you the total amount of bytes of all
files which still need to be copied in a progress bar
- It is still smaller than the standard Copy command :-)
System requirements:
SCopy should run on any Amiga system with at least 512K RAM and
one disk-drive. SCopy requires KickStart V2.04 or higher to run.
