Instead of stopping a copy sequence when the next file to be copied is found to be too large to fit on diskette (usually after it attempts to copy it), this program will find the largest of the uncopied files that will fit and copy it. This operation continues until all of the remaining files that can be copied are copied. Loading files on multiple diskettes as well as automatic directory generation are supported. A running tally of the remaining diskette space as well as the size of the file being copied are displayed during the copy sequence. The FROM and TO path and file names can be passed as arguments or entered after executing CDCOPY. Valid arguments are: cdcopy c:\fromdir1\*.* a:\todir1 cdcopy c:\fromdir1\*.* a:\\ Where TO dir is FROM dir name cdcopy c:\fromdir1\*.* Where TO dir is current dir cdcopy *.* a:\todir1 Where FROM dir is current dir cdcopy *.* a:\\ Where FROM & TO dir are current dir Note: Directory \\ is a flag to the program that indicates that the TO directory path (excluding drive) is the same as the FROM directory path. May 1993 - V 1.0 - Original Release *********************************************************************** Dec 1993 - V 2.0 1. Made CDCOPY more flexible when accepting directory arguments. It now accepts arguments the same as the DOS 'copy' command. \\ can still be passed as the TO directory. 2. Added the following arguments (placed after the FROM and TO directory definitions): -s will not replace files that have the same size, date and time stamp as the the source file. -ss will do the same as -s but will not prompt the user for a copy confirmation. This allows CDCOPY to be used in BAT files. 3. Testing for correct completion after a file copy is performed. 4. Added tally of files copied/replaced or files not needing replaced at the end of the program. 5. Complied program with 8086 option for XT users. 6. Made response to (y/n) not be case sensitive. *********************************************************************** Jan 1994 - V 2.1 1. Added subdirectory copy function and redefined switch arguments. CDCOPY source [destination] [-s] [-r] [-p] source : Specifies the source path and wildcards. destination : Specifies the destination path (optional). If [drive:]\\ is passed, the destination will have the same path as the source with a different drive. -s : Copies the source directory and all subdirectories. -r : Files with the same size, date and time stamp are not replaced on the destination drive. -p : Does not prompt you for a copy conformation.
