Very Computer

Hi all,
   How can I diskcopy diskettes without actually swapping diskettes atleast
2-3 times...I saw it on a friend's machine, but have no clue on how to
do it...

Thanks a bunch...

rem This is a one pass diskcopy program
echo Insert source disk...
pause
deltree /y c:\temp
md c:\temp
xcopy /s /e a:\*.* c:\temp
echo Insert target disk...
pause
xcopy /s /e c:\temp\*.* a:\
rem Note that this program doesn't copy hidden files.
rem It also doesn't copy volume label.
rem In short, this program is a one-pass file copy program.

: If you have windows, then do diskcopy in FileManager.
: If no windows, then get a shareware program that would do diskcopy one pass.
: If too lazy to get shareware program, then write a batch file:

: rem This is a one pass diskcopy program
: echo Insert source disk...
: pause
: deltree /y c:\temp
: md c:\temp
: xcopy /s /e a:\*.* c:\temp
: echo Insert target disk...
: pause
: xcopy /s /e c:\temp\*.* a:\

Or if you haven't have a c-drive you could make a ritual one, by using
ramdrive.sys on the dos-disk.
