- Yes - this is one of the best move utilities avialable. I have also
- reviewed many of them and found mh_mv to be the most consitent and
- versatile. Specifically, it is available as:
-
- /pub/msdos/dirutl/mh_mv102.zip
-
- on the simtel mirror oak.oakland.edu. It will move the pointers to
- files or entire directories on the same logical drive. It will also
- move (copy and delete) files and directories from one drive to
- another. The *only* problem I have with it is that it wants to
- redate files that it moves from one drive to another. I hope that
- can be fixed in a future release... :-).
