IT OVER HERE !
-------------------------------
COPY IT OVER HERE version 1.91
-------------------------------
Instead of typing:
copy \DOS\UTILITIES\FILES\BACKUPS\MONTHS\myfile \LOTUS\WEEK1\FILES\1991
just enter: ┌──────────────┐
│ CH myfile │
└──────────────┘
and my program does all the work. It searches any disk drives you
specify, speeds through all directories, finds the file, then brings
a copy to your working directory.
If you love typing, stick with DOS's "copy". But for everyone else, this
is the answer you've been looking for.
============================================================================
=============== COPY IT OVER HERE ! ====================================
============================================================================
Usage: CH [filename] [/option] [drive]
OPTIONS: /H include hidden/system files
/M move the file
/P prompt before copying/moving
/A change attributes while copying
/1 stop after first match
/E search for exact filename
[drive] specifies a logical disk drive to search
Examples: CH myfile.doc /M A: moves the file "myfile.doc" from the a: drive
onto the current disk drive.
CH msdos.sys /H copies the hidden file "msdos.sys" onto the
current directory.
CH ch.doc B: copies the .doc file from the B: drive, onto
the current drive/directory.
CH list.com /A copies the file LIST.COM and
changes the attribute once copied.
CH list.com /1 copies the first LIST.COM found, then
stops
CH f.com /E copies F.COM to current directory. This
stops the "wildcard" function (see below)
and only copies F.COM
CHANGING ATTRIBUTES
===================
You can change a file attr. once it
is copied using the following pop-up
menu:
(1) Hidden For more information about attributes, and
(2) System their qualities, see your DOS manual.
(3) Archive
(4) Read-Only
(5) Nevermind!
ENTER CHOICE:
╒══════════════════════════════════════════╕
═══╡ ╞═══
═╡ WILDCARDS ╞═
═══╡ ╞═══
╘══════════════════════════════════════════╛
Copy It Over Here searches for your filename by matching
string inside of string. This eliminates the need for
the usual DOS wildcards.
For example: CH .EXE copies *.EXE
CH L.COM copies any file with the string
"L.COM" in its name. This would
include: FULL.COM
PATHTOOL.COM
L.COM
OTHERDULL.COM
CH T copies any file with a "T" in its
name. Be careful, you may copy
too many files. If so, use the
/P option to pick and choose your
files to copy.
CH 10 copies any file with "10" in its
name.
OTHER USES OF THIS PROGRAM
==========================
CopyItOverHere can be used also as a file-finder. Merely use the
"prompt" option, and answer "N" to all the copying prompts.
If you'd also like to find duplicate files on your diskette, use
the prompt option, and note the date/time/size information that
is displayed.
To find a particular file that is hidden/system on your disk, you
could use the hidden/system option + the prompt option to display
those files.
ERROR CHECKING
""""""""""""""""""""
Copy It Over Here checks to see if the file already exists in the
current directory. If so, you are prompted to rename the file in the
current directory before copying a file over.
Copy It Over Here will NOT copy a file from the current directory
to the current directory. Instead, it skips it.
If you have many files with the same name on your drive, use
the /P option.

▐ Why is this a revolution in copying? ▌
▐ ▌
▐ Every copy utility I have used or purchased do the same thing. Add on ▌
▐ a mouse feature maybe, a system file copying, or specialized diskette ▌
▐ copying... ▌
▐ I didn't need those, and you probably don't either. I need something ▌
▐ for my tired hands and eyes, something that relieves all the unnecessary ▌
▐ junk given to me by MS-DOS. ▌
▐ Yea, DOS makes a nice little TSR copy, but I knew there was a better ▌
▐ and easier way. ▌
▐ ▌
▐ "But Dave", you say, "All you did was take off the pathname from DOS's ▌
▐ copy function". ▌
▐ ▌
▐ WRONG !! Not only did I relieve you of the pathname, now, you don't even ▌
▐ have to know where the heck you ARE on your disk. ▌
▐ ▌
▐ ALSO: When using DOS's "copy", you can mess up the spelling of your ▌
▐ directory and copy your file into some weird-named file. Then, ▌
▐ you lose your data. ▌
▐ Say you copy a couple of files: copy "c:\dos\backup\*.* \week1\moden" ▌
▐ ▌
▐ You see how I misspelled "MODEM" and made "MODEN"? Most people ▌
▐ would've missed the mistake and all the files from your backup ▌
▐ directory would be jumbled and lost. ▌
▐ ESPECIALLY IF YOU ERASED THE ORIGINAL FILES !!! ▌
▐ ▌
▐ My program doesn't make that mistake. ▌
▐ ▌
▐ Yes, this is the true revolution of copying ... ▌

This program is shareware, which means you "try" before you "buy".
The registration fee for it is $10.00, an amount I consider to be more
than fair.
If you find yourself using this program, enjoying the convenience
of it, then it's time to register !
WHY SHOULD YOU REGISTER ?
You get free upgrades, a constant supply of new program information
(if I make it, you'll know about it), and for only $10.00 more, I will
fill up a diskette with any programs you like, and want to try out.
Also, a lifetime warranty for my products.
To register: mail $10.00 to

Version History:
2/91 1.0 First release containing .pcx files, ansi graphics,
and two variations of "Bring"
4/91 1.5 As requested, I removed some sounds, replaced memory
allocation code with a superior method, and placed
a "prompt" for copying file.
5/91 1.7 Merged "MoveItOverHere" by including move option, added
prompt and hidden/system options.
Removed the bright colors that so many people had written
about, incorporated stats (files/directories/match--
searched), and added wildcard specs.
7/91 1.81 Allows attribute changing on the fly.
9/91 1.9 Improved the speed and fixed a few minor bugs.
Also includes checking for pre-existing files,
attributes and prompting to rename duplicate files.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Other than that, COPY IT OVER HERE ! is a simple program. Designed
for lazy people like myself, I hope it comes in handy for all your
file needs.
Questions, comments ?
