disk. The directory and all files on the destination disk will be
destroyed with this operation. The copied files are packed on the
new disk as they are copied.
Pack Disk - This function packs files on a disk. Packing removes
all empty or unused sectors between files on a disk so that more
space is available for files at the end of the disk.
Rename - Any filename on a disk can be changed to another
name.
Purge - Any file on a disk can be purged (deleted) from the disk.
Format Disk - Any two-sided 3.5inch floppy disk can be
formatted or initialized. The directory and all files on the disk will
be destroyed with this operation.
