COPV32.COM
Using
this utility
is much like using the COPY
FILE
function on
the DOS Menu
.
After you load the COPV32.COM program
,
you
are prompted to specify which drive
will
hold your DOS 3
(source) disk and which drive will hold your
DOS
2 .5 (destination)
disk. If you have only one
drive,
type
1
in
response
to both
prompts.
In
this
case,
you will have to swap your DOS 3 and DOS
2.5 diskettes during the copying process. If you
have
more
than
one disk
drive,
you
may
select one
to
hold your
DOS
3 diskette
and another to
hold
your DOS 2.5 diskette
.
Here
is a sample
menu:
!COPY3t02.x
l
Copy
files from a
DOS
3 disk to
a
DOS
2.5
(or
DOS
2.05)
disk.
(Hit
(
Aet\.nl

for
drive
*
to quit
.)

CAUTI
ON:
You

Put

protect
tab
on
yo
ur DOS 3
disk!
Pus

[
Start
I
when
ready.
At
this point,
if
you have
only
one
drive,
the
utility prompts
you to
insert your
DOS
3 disk
in
Drive 1; for
safety,
place a
write-protect
tab on your DOS 3 disk so
that
you
will
not erase
valuable
data
if
you
make
an
error
while
swapping
diskettes.
If
you
specified
two different
drives,
the
utility
prompts
you to
insert both your
DOS 3
and
DOS
2.5
disks.
