- CSWEEP is a file copy program similar in function to the popular SWEEP and
- NEWSWEEP programs, except that it operates entirely from command line options
- and has no interactive mode. It differs from PIP in that it allows:
-
- 1. Multiple copies to and from different du: areas with a single operation
- 2. ZCPR3 style du: access.
- 3. Deletion of source files after copying
- 4. True CRC file copy checking
- 5. Archiving support for making disk backups
- 6. Pre-copy file size and disk freespace check

- Syntax: CSWEEP du:f1 [du:f2 .. du:fn] ddu1: [ddu2: ... ddu6:] [options]
-
- f1, f2, etc. <-- Ambiguous file names (! prefix excludes)
- ddu1:, ddu2, etc. <-- Destination disk/user or * for current
-
- Options: -v <-- Verify (CRC)
- -d <-- Delete source copies
- -q <-- Report stats only
- -r <-- Report stats and copy
- -a <-- Copy non-archived files and archive source after copying
- -s <-- Exclude system files from copy
-
- All du: designations are in the form of a drive letter followed by a user
- area number followed by a colon, as in the example above. If either spec is
- omitted, the current du: is assumed. Any other format will be flagged as an
- error. The use of the "*" for any destination du: spec designates the current
- disk drive and user area. Filenames, du: specs and options may be given in
- any order.

- CSWEEP Notes:
-
- a. CSWEEP is extremely useful for copying or moving files with any program
- or operating system that uses command files, such as SUBMIT. It will
- also save many keystrokes over SWEEP or NEWSWEEP when moving large
- numbers of files around in your disk system. CSWEEP is as fast or
- faster than these programs for all types of file copy operations.
-
- b. CSWEEP accepts ambiguous file names of the standard CP/M sort with one
- addition. An ambiguous file name (afn) preceded by a "!" causes all
- names matching the given afn to be EXCLUDED from the resulting copy.
- When giving a "!" afn, "*" chars in the string match to the end of
- either the filename or extension, just like CP/M, but "?" chars match
- ONE and ONLY ONE character in either the filename or extension.
-
-
- CSWEEP Notes (continued):
-
- c. CSWEEP will copy all files as instructed unless a BDOS file error is
- encountered in the copy process. If an error occurs in creating or
- writing to a copy file, CSWEEP will report the error, delete the partial
- copy (if any) and drop the du: in which the error occurred from further
- copy operations. Under the -d option, if a write error of any sort
- occurs during a file copy, the source file will NOT be deleted. After
- completing its work, CSWEEP will report a tally of files copied and
- errors encountered.
-
- d. If any of the files to be copied already exist on a target disk then the
- space report for that disk will be in error. New files will simply
- overwrite old files of the same name.

-
- a. A>CSWEEP *.* !*.COM B: C0:
-
- -- Copy all files except *.COM files from the current du: to B: and C0:.
