- ' COPYALL Version 1.2 ----- Copyright 1988, Timothy J. O'Malley
-
- COPYALL is a shareware program that can be used much like the DOS
- COPY command and may be distributed and copied freely as long as both
- files, COPYALL.EXE and COPYALL.DOC, are copied in their entirety and
- without modification. This software is intended to be used on an "AS IS"
- basis and the author assumes NO responsibility for the performance or
- application of this software product or any damages arising from its use.
- The user, therefore, must determine the suitability of this software for
- his computer or application.
-
- Here are three examples:
-
-
- C>COPYALL C:\*.COM A: This copies all .COM files in the root
- directory on drive C: to diskettes on drive A:
-
- C>COPYALL PA* B: This copies all files starting with PA in
- the current directory to diskettes on drive B:
-
- C>COPYALL FILES A: If FILES is a subdirectory from the current
- directory, it will copy all those files to A:
- If FILES is the name of a file, then it
- will copy it.
-
- ADVANTAGES:
- You can copy multiple files to several diskettes without using the
- DOS BACKUP command (which doesn't allow you to see file names). The files
- are copied in alphabetical order and all of an individual file resides on
- only one diskette.
-
- DISADVANTAGES:
- Large files can't be copied if they exceed the size of the diskette.
- COPYALL can't be used in a batch file and must have a drive destination
- letter assigned. You can't use CON or PRN with it. Files with spaces
- inside their names, like PAGE 1.TXT, aren't copied (just like DOS COPY).
