- I do not understand why you do not want a command-line interface. What
- is so hard about "diskcopy a: file" (DR DOS 6.0 example)? In any case
- you can use a "shell" or Norton's Batch Enhancer to make a menu-driven
- interface for any utility with a command-line interface.
- Another copier not yet mentioned: Disk-RW (shareware, I believe DM
- 20,-). Was posted some time ago to comp.binaries.ibm.pc. Also available
- on SIMTEL.
