BACKUP.COM 12,968 7-15-92 6:00a chksum A2AA

program as it's own return code.
- IF EXIST now works with hidden files (MSDOS compatible).
- COPY no longer copies zero length files (MSDOS compatible).
- A CR/LF is longer printed at the end of a TYPE, as the
command TYPE NUL >> PRN was sending a CR/LF to the printer.

drive letter [ (left bracket) (for example: shell
"[:test.exe")
- Typing a non-existant or hidden file now gives the correct
error message.

now set to the size of the original if the /E option is not
used.
