To copy REPORT, FACTS, and MEMO from drive A to
named DATA on drive B, type the following and press
COPY A:REPORT + A:FACTS + A:MEMO B:DATA
Remember these rules when using the COPY command:
MS-DOS must be able to find the original file and know
where to store the copy; that is, you may need to specify the
drive (and directory, if necessary) for one or both.
You cannot create a new file with the same name and in the
same directory as an existing file.
If there is a file on the destination diskette or directory that
has the same name as the file you are copying, the copy
automatically replaces the existing file. There is no warning
that the existing file is being replaced; so be careful that you
do not accidentally erase a file you want to keep.
If you are copying to a diskette, the diskette must already be
formatted.
Note
You can also use the XCOPY co mmand
files or groups of files. XCOPY-which is an external
command--offers an efficient way to
files or whole directories. The MENU pro
copy files with XCOPY using menus instead of the command
itself. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual
Epson MENU Program" in this chapter for inform&on on
XCOPY and MENU.
