04/07/91 COPYALL Version 1.0
Function: Copy groups of files to multiple diskettes with
efficient space utilization.
To Use Enter: COPYALL [/<drive-letter>] [<file-id>]... <enter>
Parameters: By default, COPYALL will copy all files in the
current drive/directory to drive A:. The target
drive can be changed by supplying the appropriate
switch. For example:
COPYALL /B
will copy all files in the current drive/directory
to drive B:.
One or more source file parameters may be supplied.
These may include drive, path and file names. The
file names may include DOS wild cards. For example:
COPYALL *.PAS D:\TURBO\*.TPU
would copy all *.PAS files from the current
directory and all *.TPU files from subdirectory
TURBO on drive D:.
Processing: Before copying any files the program builds a table
in memory identifying each file. In the event of
duplicate file names (from multiple source
parameters) the program will terminate with an error
message.
The program will then prompt you to insert target
diskettes as needed. As each target diskette is
supplied it is scanned for existing files which
would conflict with those being copied, and rejected
if using that disk would create an ambiguous
situation in reloading files.
Files are then copied to the diskette based on the
space available. The largest file which will fit in
the space available is the file next copied.
You may intermix high and low density disk. Should
you decide to terminate the process you can press
the <ESC> key instead of the <ENTER> key when
prompted for a new disk.
