- DOCUMENTATION FOR FC.COM
- *****************************************************************************
-
- FC.COM (fastcopy) is a very handy ulility for users of dual floppy
- drive systems. It reads all of the files you wish to copy into
- memory and then writes them to the target disk from memory. It
- saves a lot of time and is much faster than the DOS copy command.
-
- FC.COM supports paths, and wildcards and will run on all IBM and
- most compatable machines. The more memory your machine has the
- the better. If you use the program a lot it is a good idea to
- keep a copy of COMMAND.COM on your disks...since FC.COM will use
- all available memory and generally kicks the transient portion
- of COMMAND.COM out of memory and you will have to insert a disk
- with COMMAND.COM on it after the program finishes.
-
- The program is very easy to use. the syntax is:
-
- FC [d:][filespec] [d:]
-
- SOME EXAMPLES---->FC A:*.* B:
- FC A:*.BAS B:
- FC A:*.COM B:\DOS
-
- After you enter the desired command the program will find all of
- the files that match the [filespec] and prompt you [y] or [n]....
- select your choice until all of the files have been read. Then
- the program will ask you to "strike any key to continue"...just
- sit back and watch.
-
- Thats all there is to it !
-
- If you have a ram disk set up, have your AUTOEXEC.BAT file copy
- FC.COM from your start-up disk to the ram disk. Make sure that
- you have set the path command to C:\;A:\;B:\ so Dos will go to
- the ram disk first and find FC.COM. It's a good idea to call the
- program something different on the start-up disk and change the
- name when it is copied into the ram disk. For example:
-
- ENTRY IN AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE= copy fastcopy.com c:fc.com
- or
- copy fc.nrn c:fc.com
-

- The author of FC.COM is unknown, and I found it on a BBS without
- documentation or reference as to who wrote it. It's such a useful program
- that I prepared this documentation and am sending it out to other BBS'S for
- all to enjoy.
