WHAT KOPY DOES?
Kopy will recursively copy files from any drive\directory to any
drive\directory. It is a fast utility and will allow you to use
wildcarding. Also you can have Kopy prompt you as to whether or
not you want a file copied. Installation is simple just run
INSTALL and you are all set. Also, you can override the virus
check. Kopy uses up to 256K of EMS memory if available.
We suggest that you read the rest of this documentation since you
need to know the command-line parameters. Thank you for your
interest in this package and please let us know what you think of
it.

accept wildcarding and up to 255 files and directories can be
copied recursively at a time. The virus check is overridable.
Uses up to 256K of EMS memory if available.

6.1 Special Offer To FreeLink SysOps

offering all FreeLink SysOps a $10 discount off of the
registration fee for this program. Just be sure to mention your
FreeLink node number on the order from in the comments section
and on the discount line write in 10.00.
6.2 What is FreeLink?
FreeLink is a net mail system like FIDO or any other netmail
system. However, there is no fees for registering software and
in most cases the phone call to retrieve mail is a local call.
Also, we do not have the endless lines of rules like other net
mail systems. We currently have 25 conferences that we offer
including 3 adult only conferences. We are using Circuitnet
software currently and have people working on our own software to
run that will be free of charge to FreeLink SysOps upon its
completion. At this time most of the boards are running
Spitfire, however, it is possible to carry FreeLink without
Spitfire. If you are interested in carrying FreeLink please
contact your local bbs carrying FreeLink. Or, contact us via
telephone here at 708-397-9243 and we will be more than happy to
assist you in locating the closest FreeLink BBS.
